Now you are now missing the point CMC by digressing, Hurst would have kept us in the football league and the replies to your dismissal of his abilities have pointed to the reason why he should have been retained as a manager. The rot set in when Hurst left and the owner decided not to fund the club anymore to the level that would have kept us as a league club with a decent manager in charge.
The Cost cutting started when Hurst was appointed, he had quality left in Colcough and Van Veen but because they wouldn’t run like greyhounds on a dirt track he wasn’t interested. More interested in playing his hoofball rubbish with 10 Cloggers whilst mid table League 2 sides, who could play a bit, cut us apart.
As mentioned he couldn’t keep them up, even when he had the budget to do so.
I guess this is what lowering your expectations is about, The Manchild wouldn’t accept his role here and went up the road, he took them up single handed almost with a few others, and they’ve sold him on, for about a third of his real value, and you’re looking at them at something we should aspire to.
We were selling players for a million not long ago, never mind a quarter of a million quid!
