He’s from Birkenhead and was already employed there as “technical director” (whatever that means).
I didn't know he was from that area, so that makes sense. He is now their manager, and took over when Ian Dawes got the push in September.

Had it confirmed tonight, by a guy who works for the Chimps, that they received over100 applications following Kennedy’s departure so I’m sure we will get plenty of choice should the axe fall on PH.
My TV has over 100 channels...problem is 99% of them are showing garbage.

You make some interesting points, although quite a few of the Fishy posters, who are on the fence or ardent Hurst supporters I believe are over 50.
I’m genuinely interested in those supporting Hurst if they like/enjoy what is currently on display?
I would also ask, if they are content in keeping the status quo with the current situation, what would it take for them to change their opinions of Hurst staying at the club?
I read someone earlier post, that although they want Hurst to go, they would want him to stay if we were relegated. Which was also an interesting point of view which a part of me agreed with! I guess what that suggests is Hurst is an excellent non league manager but I’m struggling to see how that can be replicated in the league. Yes I know about Shrewsbury, but he has not had any consistent success/impact in the EFL.
What if we swing the question a different way. In the last 20 years, which manager has delivered a style of football that has had you purring at the end of each game and looking forward to the next one? Working on a basis that PH is not long for this club anymore, which manager out there are you aware of that would deliver a standard of football that you would find excited to go and watch?

I think Brian Clough summed this town team up
“ We had a good team on paper , unfortunately football is played on grass”

It's fair comment I can't believe this lot are not a top 10 team at least with the possible exception of goalkeeper. It's a huge shock to the system I wasn't expecting a relegation dogfight.

I think if Hurst goes, the board will give Davies a fair crack at it. It wouldn't surprise me if they went after Gowling either. He's not had a good start at Darlo, but they are awful and have one of the lowest budgets. He is big on the data and scientific side, and I think an evidenced buy-in to that philosophy will be what they look for.
I'm not saying either of those would be my pick, but if this goes on much longer we will be staring relegation in the face and a lot of managers will shy from that challenge.

Speaking of that division and (loosely) that part of the world, are South Shields being bankrolled or just well run? They won the Northern Premier last season under Kevin Phillips who left in the summer, and are now 2nd in the NLN under Julio Arca.

Bankrolled. They are massively over funded.

I like to think we could be attractive option to managers, we aren't under Fenty anymore, and despite the league table, managers will look at our squad and should think it's not a bad team who are capable of better, they may feel they can get something out of it?
