Why Hurst Should Stay

Quoted from arryarryarry

I'm not saying 22nd will do. I was just pointing out to a previous poster that come Christmas at the very latest if we are near the bottom then he has go and not be given another transfer window. I would be very surprised if the Chairman gets rid before that.

As I pointed out sadly I wasn't listened to after I suggested he should be sacked in 2021 and was given plenty of grief for suggesting that.

Similarly in November 2009 I was very vociferous against the appointing of Neil Woods and given grief by many on here before he was given the permanent post and all through his leadership again saying he would take us out of the Football League and sadly I was right about that as well..

Christmas doesn't give a new manager a chance of assessing the squad properly. He'd need at least December if not a good chunk of November too, otherwise any budget spent in the transfer window would be a punt.

My biggest fear is that 1878 will ignore what they are witnessing and think it's their virtuous duty to be overly loyal to PH. Hurst's latest post match interview was a litany of poor excuses, and most players on the pitch were a shadow of their former selves.. again.

The writing is already on the wall, PH will be gone sometime, this season, the next or sometime after that, and he won't have a promotion to League One on his cv. It's just a question of how much pain the fans have to go through and how much the coffers and goodwill of the club will be hit between now and that point.

I don't believe there's many Town fans left that think PH can get us promoted out of this division. That's the remit of his job, so what's the point in him stayingt? All this conjecture is just hot air before the inevitable.. whenever it comes in the future..

In general terms, owners tend to act when widespread abuse switches target from the manager to themselves. I’m not advocating abuse of either Hurst or the owners, both parties have earned way more respect than to be subjected to that, but that’s simply the way these things tend to go.

In the event we get a good shoeing at Stockport, and conventional wisdom suggests that’s likely, it will be an incredible test of their values and perceived loyalty to Hurst were things also to go south against Colchester the following Tuesday.

Personally, I’d love nothing more than to win both games with performances that suggest something of a corner turned; I’m just not holding my breath.

So would I but those using data analysis may think differently.
