Whatever anyone thought of Hurst he was/is a professional football manager. If you didn’t deliver you didn’t play.
Dropping Van Veen created a professional response. He started working and delivering every game.
Coclough responded by sulking and indulging in off field shenanigans.
If Swann had stuck with one of the proven professional managers he employed (Alexander, Robbins or Hurst) instead of the constant search for a yes man we would still be a league club.
Back to Colclough – it would be great to see him deliver for a few seasons before he is too old. Personally would not have him back here if he played for free. Wilson has matched his goals and assists record for the Iron already
