Fair question. Perhaps because the club came up with an idea of what they were looking for sometime past and with that criteria in place identified and got Hurst. That the brought about one of the best seasons (statistically) we've had. So it worked. Worked really well. So perhaps the club now sees this criteria as the best way to go about when looking for managers? Which may mean of course that we are recruiting someone who best fits some criteria rather than the best manager who maybe available. Just worry that the club are now constantly looking for the next Hurst when other, better, managers might be available. I mean Askey I can kinda understand with what he did at Macc even though that was a risk. Ricketts however, when looking to what he has done... Except they aren't following the Hurst recruitment criteria. Hurst was recruited from a league 2 team that were in the play off's at the time of employment. He'd hit the ground running at the level giving reasonable optimism that he could replicate that with us. Askey had no league experience at that stage and Ricketts had barely any experience at National league level making both appointments extremely risky. Not true. Askey has league experience in management. I could go on. Look it up for yourself.

Oxford aside at least the team under Askey competed and rarely let in more than one goal per game, they just struggled to score enough goals. I wonder what all those who were hounding Askey out after only a few games are thinking now. Thinking? For themselves? Waiting for some soundbites from some experts in the stands, no doubt.

As did other level headed, rational fans amongst us I believe Askey would’ve kept us up. Ricketts is taking us down I still hope we have enough quality to avoid the drop. Equally, I hope SR learns from his mistakes.

Sadly it’s not looking good
