The argument of Hurst failing to recruit instantly falls down with what we know about Amond...he won’t have been the only one in that situation you’d have thought...

You are right but the key word is Braintree! We were still down among the dead men struggling to make a playoff final after all his seasons with a decent budget to put together a team to get out of that league. He’s a firefighter so I can see there may be an attraction, but he is not a “promoter”. I am sure good owners could find a better manager.
And a firefighter us what we need now. There must only be one objective from now until the end of the season ....... survival!!

I would have Hurst back but it was a love hate relationship with fans, Hurst lack of using youth players has been the one positive from him leaving, so I would be worried about our youth system with Hurst in charge.
I think Hurst will end up at Bradford.

Once Hurst was on his own and developed his approach there was barely an away game where you didn’t know we’d win 1-0 or get the much needed result.
People point to the fact we were along way from the top spot the year we actually went up but who actually cares...I wouldn’t trade that day for anything.
People always forget we almost missed out on the playoffs in Buckley MKII...
Hurst’s style may not have been overly exciting but it was effective regardless of what people say. Perhaps he was too cautious at times and I’ve spoke with him and he’s admit that but let’s face it, the minute we re-entered the league the club reverted to type which meant bringing in cheaper players...however, those players still bought in to what Hurst was about and it was working.
The man at the top was responsible for the relationship breaking down and we’ll never really know if Hurst could’ve taken us beyond...probably not given the leadership at the top but just becauee he cupped his ears and some fans got all sulky about it shouldn’t mean the guy isn’t listed in there with Buckley, McMenemy, etc...he got us promoted. Only two managers in my life time have achieved that.
He’s the only manager that hand on heart any of us could say assembled a team we felt connected with aside from the Lord.
I don’t believe he’ll come back under Fenty’s rule, if he did it would shock me and I’m not sure it would be worth ruining what went before. For me, whilst Fenty remains intercourse all changes and the club remains on life support regardless of manager...
I think it would be good to move the club forward of new owners came in and that would mean a new manager we’ve never seen before but if new owners brought Hurst back I don’t it would be the worst thing ever...
I don't know how long you have been watching Town but that statement ignores quite a few of us who have been watching for some time :- Lawrie McMenemy (probably the best manager in Town's history to get the players engaged with the fans) Tom Casey John Newman George Kerr Dave Booth Alan Buckley

Yes yes yes.
If he joined with the consensus that this season is about maintaining league status (absolutely vital for so many reasons) and therefore its about doing what's necessary with the squad we have and that could mean boring 1-0 wins and 0-0 draws, then I think most would agree to that - with a view to build something more exciting for next season.

I voted for him because I misjudged him over the Amond fiasco.
I thought it was his decision but it was Fenty being petty yet again.
Sorry Paul.

Waiting to see which way Ipswin votes and I’ll follow his lead.
Hasn’t been proven wrong about a manager yet.

Think you’ll find Swin was a supporting advocate of Newell’s appointment so he’s not flawless!!!
