Not sure a statement is needed, if they don't decide to sack him then I expect him to be here for a prolonged period. Being beaten by a Colchester side at home that have conceded 28 is rock bottom.. so if he isn't sacked today i'd expect him here for another month or so.

3 points last night and a rousing performance would have been a more effective solution. Little point in saying anything unless there’s something definite to announce. Any statement will just be seen as the vote of confidence which inevitably precedes a change in management.

Having a quick rethink who will be replacing our goalkeeper(s) in the 2024 calendar.

Talking of calendars, Max Crocombe is the face of October.

I don’t have the calendar, but based on Max’s theatrical skill set, I expect he was able to perfect the Mona Lisa kind of ironic smile that is currently following PH around his office…

I have my doubts. They have said on several occasions about the futility of immediate knee jerk decisions  n taking the emotion out of footballing decisions

It will hardly be knee jerk though will it? This has been going on for weeks. At what point is it no longer ‘knee jerk’?

The OP had regular chats with Ryan Bennett whilst walking his dog and told us all the bookings arriving at the club hotel a couple of transfer windows ago.

Like you say, given that Stockwood has publicly said he waits a couple of days to take emotion out of their decision-making, it seems unlikely for there to be a board meeting today. We have a couple of Trust board members on here I think, perhaps they could confirm if Kristine and Dave attended a board meeting today.

Well, it’s gone 5 o’clock, so I imagine if there were to be any announcement today we would have had it by now.

For me, the biggest surprise today is that no one has started a thread with the title “Hurst gone”, followed by a message body of “…to get some milk from the shop” (or something to that effect). Credit to any of you who’ve been fighting the temptation all day.

Frankly I’m lost for words.

Given where we are now at, I think the following. PH is told an acceptable performance at Donny, even if we lose. Is a minimum. Plus a win at Slough in the FA cup.

Then decide. If we are humiliated at Donny and lose at Slough, he has to go……


No point in sacking this week…..

Waiting till Slough is simply a waste of time and quite frankly it's irrelevant if we can overcome a struggling NLS team, it bears no relation to our ability to compete in L2.

Let’s just hope this is nothing more than a bit of routine maintenance, and Stockwood hasn’t taken inspiration from watching Brookside re-runs in a bid to avoid having to pay Hurst and Doig’s severance fees.

Russell had a flip chart - relied on his verbals I think - experienced it.

Been watching England playing cricket today. Looks like we were very capable of batting all the way down no. 11 ( as no. 11 top scored in the last game). Didn’t happen.

You never know - by Sunday night England beat India and Town beat Doncaster - happy days 🤞

Think there are some similarities between GTFC and England 50 overs cricket.

Suspect manager
Players with poor performances
Unclear but changing formations and game plan

The differences are that the England setup is full of arrogant, technically competent players who are more focused on franchise than playing for their country.

Beware English football.
