Hurst walked out on us first time around.


So we had two managers who, following decent seasons walked out, without really wanting to, says more about the odious girl private running the club at the time than the two that walked…

Agreed. My response was to the point about ‘being careful what we wished for’ the first time he left.

What most of the idiots desperate to see him fail don’t see is that the worst decision ever, under Fenty was allowing Hurst to leave. The club/Fenty killed any sense of momentum after that promotion but Hurst was somehow getting a tune out of a far worse side than the one we came up with, and in truth, his departure started the slow cycle back to non league…

I don’t disagree but Fenty isn’t here anymore, we are a better club and have a better budget yet the results and performances are still pish.

As was pointed out to me yesterday, we might, under different circumstances, have only won once this season had Barrow brought their shooting boots and Salford kept eleven on the pitch.

I know that’s ifs and buts but he did have a point.

And we might have won Saturday if we had eleven on the pitch and had our shooting boots on. We might also have also won at Bradford, Walsall, Tranmere and got a point at Swindon and home to Crawley.

It's not really a credible argument is it?

I did actually say that in my conversation. It's all ifs and buts.

I don't think it is a matter of wanting him to fail, but his decisions seem to be failing. Team selection, tactics and lack of attacking at home. I would like him to succeed but it is up to him to change his ways. If plan A doesn't work use plan B, C, D or whatever will work.



You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

I think I remember the chairman saying that one of his objectives was to communicate better with the fans. Seems that’s slipped by the wayside.


You could always buy the guardian .He has plenty to say in there😁
