Hursty interview

Quoted from PaceyMariner

Not going to be a popular opinion I know, but find it a bit boring/irritating when clicking on a post thread and finding it full of puns like on this thread. Perhaps a separate subsection could be created for puns (like the Non Footy one on here).

I like humour as much as anyone, but would prefer to not trawl through a bunch of puns when reading opinions about the actual post subject.

Well we realised how good Hurst was when he left.

Quoted from Poojah

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.
