Hurst Out

If this run had been at the start of the season, would we STILL have PH in charge?

I see Hurst said something about the context of the defeat last night given Wrexham’s huge spending.

No one denying that, but the problem is we’ve lost 6 points from winning positions to Bromley, threw away 2 points at Maidenhead and lost at Aldershot, Solihull, Wealdstone, Dagenham & Halifax.

The dropped points previous meant a game where any points would have been a bonus became almost a must win to stem our slide away from the playoffs.

Saturday is huge. We should be winning that game easily. In fact we have 3 home games within 14 days that we should get 9 points from. Over to you Hursty.

Serious question to the board here, when is our form and results bad enough for you to pull the trigger?

What's it gonna take? Us being 10 points off the playoffs with the season done? I mean the board seriously have to ask when is enough enough!

We’re building for the future and Paul meets the values they’ve set.

Not entirely sure how many we’ve signed already this season, must be over 20 now, and we seem to be getting worse not better.

I am absolutely astonished that there’s still people defending him. Even worse, I’ve read the article on him defending himself which is incredible.

They’re words of a man who knows his bosses won’t sack him, what a dangerous position that is.

Whats he supposed to say when he’s asked that question? Yeah sack me….

I listened to his post match and i felt genuine sympathy for him. He sounded distraught, and didnt sound like a man who knows his bosses wont sack him

On a personal level, he’s in a tight spot. I’m sure he’s made some decent money out of football management, but he’ll know that being sacked by Ipswich within weeks, sacked by Scunny within months and potentially sacked by Town following relegation and this horrendous run of form is some serious career Benjamin Button-ing.

If he is sacked by Town, be it now, next week or any time later this season, his managerial career is in tatters, and I’m not sure that’s somewhere he expected to be when he took the job on. There’s a very good chance his next job won’t be in football management, and probably means a big step down financially. Wealthier than most people he may be, but things are all relative, and these will be troubling times for the bloke.

I can’t defend the recent record, and last season’s relegation is equally less defensible in this new context, but from a human perspective I do feel for the bloke.

Maybe I’m just getting a bit woke in my old age…

I'm going around and around on this tbh, I think after last night I'm inclined to give him a bit more time, honestly if we lose to Wealdstone I will probably feel differently again but I think there was enough there against one of the teams probably going up to give him a little longer.  

The run is completely unacceptable, no doubting that. Jeez I'm bloody conflicted on this one, usually I'm fairly black or white on whether I think a managers time is up.

He creates his own problems by picking Coke and Lenny and leaving other more talented players out. Coke slows the play so much and we had two new midfield signings warming the bench last night.

Cmon mate lenny came on for 5 minutes.

Not trying to defend Paul, i was just saying for me it was hard to listen to a man who sounded very very upset
