A class act that won't be out of work long.

Fair play to PH for that statement. Promotion, highest finish in how long and quarter finals of the fa cup in a little over two years. Shame this season went pear shaped but leaves with a decent return and best wishes.


I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

Even though I was relieved when he left (On both occasions), I guess that statement reflects the kind of guy he is personally (although I'll never truly know). I think we all saw a different Paul Hurst this time around, a man that was definitely more reflective, considered and who appeared to make more of an effort with "us" supporters. He appears to have integrity and honesty. Seeing him at the last fans forum, I was positively surprised with his candour and dry sense of humour. I think a few warmed to him that evening.

Although personally I believed his tenure had run its course, there is no doubting his successes with two promotions (Including that run of games) and the FA cup run. The camaraderie we felt towards the 2016 winning team, after the bitter defeat by Bristol Rovers the year before, was special and was undoubtedly fostered by Hurst's management style. On reflection, I feel sad that Hurst had to leave after witnessing much of the vitriol towards him after the Doncaster game. Spending so much time applauding the supporters, I guess he new his time was up.

I'm sure as the dust settles and the weeks and months pass, even the most ardent "Hurst Out" supporter will celebrate the fact he has been one of our most successful managers and you could argue he did it both times in difficult circumstances, in the National league and the constraints that brings. I genuinely wish him all the best and hope he can find success, elsewhere, in the future.

He's a fundamentally decent person and I wish him well.

I'm still trying to figure out where it's all gone wrong this season. I understand the decision to change, but I also think this won't be a silver bullet and they're going to have the same problems Hurst had. I think some will need transfer activity (new CB, CM, LB as a minimum).

I have a feeling Hurst will find a job before long and turn a club around. He'll no doubt have learnt some lessons from this bizarre season.

Classy statement. Really sad it came to this.

Hopefully, he will be in the short list for the job (best profile, credentials and experience) - UTM

What a gent.

After x2 promotions & an FA Cup Quarter Final, he should never buy a drink in Cleethorpes again.

… As a tight Yorkie, he’ll appreciate that more than we’ll ever know  


Sleep well Icey, Matty and Richard. Keep each other company up there xx
