FAO The Trust / BigChris

Do they? Can't say I want to see the back of him after 3 games! I'm sure I'm not the only one!

I assume Denni266 is referencing the poll on the homepage which has 75% of the 677 'votes' in favour of sacking Hurst, it's not some number that he's just decided to pluck out of the air.

With regard to BigChris's comment "The Trust board discuss various matters on a regular basis so that the representatives are armed with the general view but i cannot see a way the Trust would be canvassing its members to decide to sack the manager"  

The point I was attempting to get across was if the Trust are there to represent the views of Trust members then how can they represent those views if they don't ask for them?  

If there comes a day when the board have to vote re retaining PH or going another route, how can the 2 Trust reps represent the views of Trust members if they don't have that information to hand?

Quoted from denni266

80% on here want  to see the back of Hurst, not because they dont like him personaly, but because they dont believe he is the man to do the job. of course some will say that that is only the view of fishy voters, but i believe that that would be the view of many fans. There is fast coming a time when someone will ask for a vote on this matter, or other matters and it is the job of the elected reps on the board to carry out that wish weather they agree or not . i hope it does not come to that and things turn around on the pitch or he resigns.

It's not 80% on here at all, for a start the poll is 75%, and, that is three quarters of the people that have voted.
What you should've said was that 75% of the people that have voted want him dismissed.
That could be a very small proportion of the people actually on the fishy.
You really are miles off.

I see John has already answered the one board member one vote question although i would suspect anything  rarely comes down to a vote?

Out of interest how often do the trust hold members meetings so the feelings of the wider membership, not just the trust board, can be aired and considered?

This is ridiculous, things have not gone well so far this season, but we are only three games in to it.
I for one think the squad looks stronger than last season.
Get a grip some of you.

Seriously....how can the squad look stronger when after 2 weeks we are looking for a third loanee?
If the squad was stronger we wouldnt need loanees at all would we?

The Aswadgate affair being the latest example, despite having a senior player on the books who can easily cover left back and a senior back up at right back and another young pro who can cover right back as well as a young pro who could also cover left back he is foraying into the loan market instead.

Ok, squad may not be stronger in depth, but, to me the team looks better.

You've also got to take into account that 40% of those who voted are morons.

And that includes all the 25% who voted for Hurst to stay.  

Personally I'd give till his full squad is available. Still believe he runs a far too defensive set up at home.
Too deep, no width upfront, no taking on full backs, no pulled back balls for theforwards, not enough shots on goal.....and so on.

Despite me thinking PH should have gone at some point last season, i accepted the fact that he had been given the green light to carry on and i think having made that decision, he has to be given at least 12 games to get some momentum going.

I'm not a fan but he may get us firing yet.

The addition of pacy players to the squad should allow us a more attacking bent at home. Unfortunately, they were all injured (or not nearly fit enough to start) for the first two home games of the season.

Let's see what happens when they return.
