Surely his first priority will be a strength and conditioning coach?
Is urine myself if he announced that at his first press conference. |

Can't argue with those percentages although most of Hurst's were in non-league
I just hope no one is going to start moaning about the style of football Hurst is churning out and how unattractive and totally lacking in entertainment it is, you can'y have it both ways
Yes they were mostly in non-league(but just over half of Woods' were too). But you only have to look at the accounts from each season to see that the budget reflected the league we were in, it went up substantially in the first season back in the league and we were doing fairly well under him. I'm not sure we'd have made the play offs but we'd have been there or thereabouts. As for the style, anything is better than Holloway's knocking it aimlessly around our own defensive third before the inevitable fcuk up gifting the opposition a goal. |

Well its no good asking me about managers as I have agreed with the appointment of each one, except Graham Rodger and more importantly Woods.
However, as I have said many times over the years have you noticed that every manager comes in wide-eyed, full of optimism and hope with great plans, and then just a few months in you can see them accept the reality that the club was not geared up in any way shape or form for success? The deadweight that was Fenty soon had a negative impact.
Well done Hurst for the one to stick it out longest, and he was the one under the most pressure.
At this precise moment we need a Hurst type manager. I am sure the Consortium will feel it is a safe choice as their first appointment and of course the very first thing on their agenda is to get us safe. If they have a competitive(!) budget ready to go that will be great.
The future is for another time, but first things first. Watching last nights match, the team needs an urgent overhaul as some players are just going through the motions so we cannot waste any more time on those so we need experienced pros who can come in and perform straight away, and I am sure if he has the money to attract them Hurst will be able to bring them in.

I hope he trolls the intercourse out of the club...”I couldn’t pass up the chance to work at GTFC again, the new owners are computer literate and they’ve provided me with a strength and conditioning coach; it may not win us games but I really want one...” |

It didn't actually (that was the Shop the previous year) The first goal against FGR (I refuse to call it Bogle's - it was an own goal) was a header from Bogle that was going across the 6 yard box not even in the direction of the goal and it hit the FGR bloke and changed direction into the net
You've gone on about this before. It was clearly an own goal but who honestly gives a flying intercourse? |

A bit like moaning that Nolan didn’t put the ball in the corner and played in Hoburn... Don’t hear many Man Utd fans talk about Bayern absolutely playing them off off the park in 1999... |

There is a reason he is available, he is utter shite and no one else wants him. Why should we employ unwanted shite?

I’ll start this by saying I want Hurst, but posts like this seek to dumb down supporters who have a point on Hurst. It’s a false narrative to suggest it was all off the pitch as to why people don’t want Hurst.
During his time with us and after it, Hurst has been beaten in almost every single final he’s ever taken part in, his time with us was mixed with decent results and appalling ones. He’s then gone on to Shrewsbury where he’s done well (whilst mucking it up after Jan which I’ll come onto) then 2 absolute car crashes at Ipswich and Scunny. He was minutes away from losing his job with us as well after Braintree away.
I always hear how good Hurst was at spotting players, but for every Amond there was 3 Hobans, let’s not forget the complete shite we signed and a lot of that came in January. We’re also forgetting that he regularly broke up the Amond and Bogle partnership during the season despite them flying. Almost every season with Hurst we regressed in January, we shut up shop and didn’t press to win the league when twice we had the chance. The season where we went up, we almost dropped out of the play offs completely, it was absolutely dreadful post January. This pattern continued at Shrewsbury he did amazingly well to get them there then made the same mistake again and they lost in the playoffs (again).
I’m still utterly convinced we were an Andy Monkhouse injury from not going up and Hurst losing his job, something that nobody would’ve had any complaints about.
I want Hurst, I think he’ll steady a ship but let’s not pretend his time here was amazing and all those who say otherwise are only saying it because ‘he cupped his ear’.
Excellent post. 2 months ago I'd have been dead set against Hurst returning. I could just about forgive the overly defensive approach to home matches, boring interviews and the Parslow subs - but letting Amond go was still an open wound. Having read Podge's account of his departure, I think I've been unfair to PH on this one. It seems the greater blame may be laid at the door of the tight-fistedness of you know who. I have little doubt that Hurst can do the job that needs doing at GTFC. "You don't always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need." Mick Jagger wrote that - so it must be true!  So it's a nod from me, despite the reservations mentioned earlier. I agree with you about the Monkhouse injury - I remember thinking precisely that at the time. As for people getting upset at the ear-cupping...I think they're being a bit 'precious' tbh. |

Please note that Grimsby Town Football Club already has a strength and conditioning coach called Greg Howard
The best one Holloway has ever worked with apparently

Nolan was some player... Remember Lincoln fans laughing saying he clearly not good enough for them when we signed him.... |
