Diddy would make the highlights coverage on the telly more entertaining - "there's the new manager with his left hand bitch"

Diddy I suggest you do the after match interviews 😂

Ah I see - I wasn't even being a pedant, genuienly didn't think Eric was Erik

Erik

"Hurst graduated from Staffordshire University with a degree in Professional Sports Writing and Broadcasting" - maybe good for when we review club comms?

Never mind Holloway, Hurst etc etc I have applied for the position with Kyle as my left hand bitch!! I will introduce a Subbuteo style of football called flick to kick!!

Who's Eric?

Zendon (and others) - cheers, was quite strange to be writing something like that, because I thought he'd still be sticking around for a couple more games at least

Zendon - absolutely..you can usually rely upon REPD to speak both sense and not follow the lemmings

I am very surprised that no one on here has said ardley out

Mike - well if NA had done what Hurst did at Shrewbury, most people here would have said he choked given where they were. Even still, many say NA was lucky to get promoted from L2 so would be hypocritical for anyone to suggest otherwise.

BTW, REPD - your reflection of NA 's reign is an excellent read. Much more nuanced and accurate of my feelings of the last 6 years than the (understandable) official eulogy that has just popped up on the official site.

Hurst was very unpopular at Ipswich, I was at their game against QPR, and it was awful - like watching us on a very bad day - lots of similarities to our current situation. According to an Ipswich supporting friend, Hurst was a bully who had no passion.

Repd - yes repression fits better.

Nick W I'm not sure I'd take going up to Championship - we're too amateur for L1 we'd crash and burn into freefall back to non league if we went up to Championship anytime soon BUT yeah that kind of Lazarus act turning us into respectable L1 mid table side would be brilliant for us.

wimblewomble there have been comments before about were they the wrong way around

Hurst may be 4/1 against becoming our manager, but he's even money to go back to Shrewsbury.

Zendon - you might have been right first time

Depression

Lol - reading back, you can tell we haven't appointed a new manager in 6 years, such is the frenzy of speculation. It's like a bottle being uncorked. What a wonderful array of possible names. Exciting times after the repression of the last two months...

Tiki - did you see what Shrewsbury ldid ast year?

True that Hurst was poor at Ipswich but nonsense to say that when he was at Shrewsbury - he took over in Oct 2016 with them bottom of L1, they stayed up that year and when he left at the end of 2017/8 season they were third in the table (missed out in the playoffs) - I think that I would take that sort of "poor" performance

actually someone without a squeaky voice

How about Neil Cox with Ardley as his assistant?

Im struggling to understand why Hurst would be so popular. Was poor at Shrewsbury and Ipswich. Ardley has a better record, would be better off bringing him back
