And I Don't think there is Corky, the principle is the same, Don't perform and you get replaced. The only difference is the criteria used to measure performance, it's different for office staff and managers, but if you under perform you are out

One more point, JS and AP see first hand what's 'sgoing on every day.at the club where as us fans only see 90 minutes on a Saturday. Leaving the ground I heared all sorts of stuff from fans on what is going on inside the club. How do they know what is said in the dressing room, or what happened in training? It's really ridiculous some of the things that was said.

Instead of childish, ill thought out statements like this, why not try to offer your opinion or suggestions on how we improve? Why are there always some people who have to turn any situation into a slanging match?


Whilst Yoda may go over the top a bit, I am sure his suggestion for how we improve is to sack Paul Hurst.

Pretty sure if you stand in the right spot at the back of the mainstand you can hear what's being said in the dressing room .

Ooh there's some major troll feeding going on in this thread.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

There is, and ik not sure getting personal in the thread title is helpful either.

Just to add fuel to the fire, Stockwood has been seen leaving early at the last few home games. If we take away the fact of him being the co-owner and chairman and remember he is a massive Grimsby Town fan, I doubt he's enjoying the games as much as we aren't now.
Also, JS&AP approached Hurst before the take over was completed, he was their "man of choice" and initially it looked like Hurst let them down with the relegation, they showed faith and he repaid that with a play off of play offs and an FA Cup quarter final along with a mini football fortune.
Again, a slump in the NL, a slump in Lg2 last season, they stood by him and showed faith once more.
So, the board have a decision to make, stand by Hurst and show faith for a fourth time, hope he can turn it around, or bite the bullet, take it on the chin that Hurst has taken us as far as he can, shake his hand, sign the cheque and thank him for his services rather than risk of getting involved in a relegation scrap once more.
Also, as a side note, we were tarnished as perennial losers, that play off campaign and FA Cup run did so much good in healing our reputation, we carry on our current trajectory and that reputation will come back to haunt us

A catastrophe this far out from Christmas, do me a favour. This is L2 and generally rubbish anyway. As long as we don't get stuck in the bottom two I don't see why anyone has a decision to make.

If we are stuck in the bottom two then the time for decision is coming far too late.

How bad does it need to get?

If not being in the bottom two is the full extent of our ambition then we might as well quit now. I’m not one that thinks we have a divine right to be L1 or higher, the majority of my lifetime we haven’t been and I’m in my 30s. But if we can’t at least compete in L2 averaging over 6000 in attendances and with a once in a century FA cup run boosting the coffers then what’s the point?

He could be leaving games early for a majority of reasons, he lives in Manchester doesn't he?  I can't blame him for wanting to skip the last 5 minutes to save half-an-hour in traffic.  

I agree with what you're saying though, we've made progress under this current set-up of 1878 and Hurst.  Improvement is never a consistent upward line, but there has to be a point where you look at the bigger picture and see what's coming up ahead of you.  If we're not careful all the good work of the last 2 years could easily be undone.  I still think the appetite for people coming through the gates is the thing that will either save Hurst or cost him his job.  It's all well that we've got £100,000's of money in the bank from season ticket sales already for this season, but if in October and November we already see numbers of those ST holders not attending, that's a bloody good indication they won't renew next season.   Colchester at home in 8 days time could be a hammer blow.  Weather turning, Champions League on the box, uninspiring football, bad results, be very limited away following.  Could be comfortably under 4,000.  I think Barrow at home a few weeks ago was 4,800ish.

Hardly a slump finishing 11th in our first season back in the EFL
