It pains me to vote out. I have always backed Hurst and know how much we owe him as a club but something is desperately wrong here.. I genuinely can't be bothered with the clown show of manager selection again.. the years prior to Hursts second coming were just a nightmare but really starting to think we have no choice at this point as relegation is starting to look a real possibility again

Quoted from davmariner


Fans are fickle and to be honest, decision making at a football club should not be based on fans moaning and groaning. We’d be sacking managers every few games if we did.

I’m genuinely curious, if say, a new manager came in and lost the first 6 games, would fans be calling for their head? And if so, should they be listened to?

My point is, the owners need to weigh up the bigger picture. It’s clearly a bad time at the minute, but who at this point is best placed to turn things around. Hurst hasn’t suddenly become a bad manager overnight, so they can be forgiven for giving him a bit more time with the team he’s assembled.


Let's say Hurst stays and keeps us up this season ?
Would you believe he could mount a promotion charge next season?
Do you believe he can assemble a team that would play more attractive football at home?
By the looks of it our season is already over in October , I'd be tempted to try and find someone that can use the rest of this season to put a team together that can do some good next year as this one is going nowhere other than down

The gate of 5010 was only slightly better than Barrow with 148 away fans. This means only 4862 fans turned up in what was an expected win match. I am sure this is a figure already worked out by 1878, which means that many ST's didn't turn up but also many walk in's.

Barrow was the lowest for home fans, 4831, and was not much better. It is time for JT & AP to act before the home fans attendance drops even further.


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

Pretty sure the 300 or so in the Osmond are freebies too?

So who would you replace PH with?  Nigel Clough?

I'm gutted for PH that its not going great, who is generally a top bloke but i feel like he always has to change the team round for the sake of keeping players happy or so it feels like that.  If you constantly keep changing the team how can you gain any consistency, form partnerships and above all keep the shirt that you are fighting for, you might generally feel you have had a decent game (not the worst) but then not playing the following week you probably be a bit miffed, annoyed etc.  PH can also be too cautious and its this type of negativity of football that makes us come unstuck.  He needs to let the shackles off.

78% say out, speaks volumes.
I voted out not because we lost last night but in the manner of how we did. If we'd have played well and lost I'd be half tempted to stay in the 'in' camp. But the football we are playing is dreadful.

I voted Out but with a very heavy heart. I'd love the option "Give him Doncaster and watch him turn this ship right around and march up the league" and more so that it actually materialises but it's hard to muster the belief that would turn to be true.

I really like Hurst,but something has to change.To m it's obvious, why didn't we sighn a decent    experienced,goalkeeper when Max left? Fans round me last night were regretting they wanted Max to leave.! That said the vile shouting at Eastwood, that he obviously heard ,from the Pontoon was well out of order.

Has he gone yet?


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.
