Hursty interview

Quoted from RonMariner

He said 3 could come back into training. One might be Macca. Hanson and Wright would be very useful additions right now.

Scannell too. He’s pretty much the best we’ve got, IF he’s not being grumpy.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

I’ve said the same about Hanson though I’m led to believe him and Holloway didn’t see eye to eye.

It’s true. Holloway is 5’8 and Hanson is 6’4.

More ‘eye to chest’

Quoted from Heisenberg

Scannell too. He’s pretty much the best we’ve got, IF he’s not being grumpy.

He said 2 weeks for Scannell in his presser. Could do with his creativity.

Shame he didnt just say " god its worse than i thought, the last bloke really has left me with a pile of sh!t to sort out"

Give me the dour Yorkshireman over the Bristolian Bullsh!tter any day, good interview I’m confident Hurst can bring in the players to get us out of this mess and will move on the deadwood which there is plenty of.

2016 “ Noooo I can’t listen anymore to the defeatist dour yorkie.”
2020 “ Yesss at last a manager who says it as it is, loving this straight talking Yorkshire man”

This is very true, and no doubt this time last year we were all thrilled at the vibrancy and energy Holloway brought to the post-match interview compared to the defensive, dour Yorkshireman who used to manage us.

Part of this is just the fickle nature of football fans, and we’re all guilty of it. When you’ve just had something that’s gone disastrously wrong, it’s natural to warm to the polar opposite of that, and in football manager terms Paul Hurst is the complete antithesis of Ian Holloway.

But I think in the time since Hurst’s departure, and in particular the demise of Ian Holloway, we’ve learned something. Paul Hurst is not the world’s greatest orator, nor does he try to be.

He speaks with honesty, sometimes to his detriment, but if the past couple of weeks have taught me anything it’s that authenticity is more important than the slickness or entertainment value of a man’s words.

Ultimately, I do honestly believe he’s what we need right now, just as Alan Buckley was in 1997. Since 1988, some 33 years, only Buckley has done more tangible good for the club than Paul Hurst. Only those two managers, and perhaps Michael Jolley, have left it in a better state than they found it. That says a lot about the running of the club over the years, but credit where credit’s due.

What we need right now is a plan, structure, effort, and sound recruitment. More often than not, we got those things from Paul Hurst and his teams. Whether the football or the post-match interviews were always entertaining is out there for debate, but also absolutely irrelevant right now.

January is a massive month. We play all of the bottom five (minus ourselves, obviously) plus Port Vale who are 17th. Keep in mind the season may not even run beyond that or even that far, the next few games are absolutely crucial.

I don’t give a fig whether a manager sounds good in interviews. Give me a manager who wins games like Buckley and Hurst over a manager that sounds good in the media any day of the week. I never understood those who disliked Buckley or Hurst for how they came across on the radio- we don’t employ them for that.

I was disappointed he didn't mention covid and that the season should be cancelled.

if it’s cancelled we are down
