Looks like LJL will be having to look elsewhere to continue his career.

I do hope no one is going to suggest he should come back here. Why ever not, Ricketts is doing SUCH a job here after all...... 😊😁

Par for the course for the Sc***horpe Chairman, he got rid of Graham Alexander when they were in the top six in League One. So many examples of clubs with steady managers who sack 'em and go down.

Rumour is he held talks with Peterborough earlier in the year before they decided to stick with Ferguson whilst still at Scunny. Will he never learn? The snake tag has now been well and truly earnt! These antics could spell the end of any meaningful job for Hurst. Untrustable.

These antics could spell the end of any meaningful job for Hurst. No one will trust him now. If this is true then it is no wonder the statement on the Sc***horpe site is so terse. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if they haven’t found out he’s been talking to someone else.

Well, well, well how the mighty has fallen. Hope Rickets takes note don’t do the dirty on us Salopians cos it will come back and bite you. Did us a big favour tho we could have been Bolton’s neighbours had he still been here 🙈😽 2 Wembley defeats and a position in the league in January that was heading for automatic promotion completely thrown away. He has only really had success at Grimsby, we will all remember his time here but on his CV it's just failure at his last 3 clubs.

Thought he was starting to turn things round there, had definitely made a few decent signings and got a few players playing. Wish him the best in his next move.

Step forward all of his "allies" on here who can now start a proper campaign to get him back in the STFC job, seeing how SR is "out of his depth". Good luck!!!!

No club would be stupid in my opinion, he and Doug do seem to get a tune out of hard working lower league pros. People are quick to forget the amazing season he gave us. Far too quick to forget.

Another decent pay off. Its a decently paid job being a crap manager as many before him have found. There are still possibilities in non league for him so at least one more pay off is possible.

Seems to be some doubt on Scunny forum as to whether he jumped or was pushed Don't suppose it matters really

Do they have to pay compensation if he jumped?

Think most Town fans remember with fondness the 3/4 of an amazing season he gave us. Still ended up with bugger all though as his thoughts were elsewhere for the important last quarter. Its that that he will ultimately be remembeted by (rightly).

I think we can close the Sc***horpe thread now... can’t say I take any pleasure from it, think we all need to move on now.

It’s like if Sam Ricketts got us to the play off final this year, how on earth would that be a failure? I’m all for criticising Hurst and his antics but let’s not rewrite history.

We’re 2-0 down in the bread and butter of the league.
Shades of 2003.
Ricketts out, Hurst in.

I agree. I thought Scunny had pushed on up the league with him in charge. Definitely think he’ll get another league 2 side before the end of the season. Who’s struggling against relegation but has potential?

Quite a few on here insist Hurst achieved nothing while here as we weren’t promoted and didnt win the Checkatrade final. I look forward to them making the same assessment - and just as vociferously - about Ricketts when we finish lower-mid with no silverware. Not going to happen though, is it?

We were nailed on to get relegated when he took over. Somehow kept us up and then delivered a play off final the season after. A very slimy individual but he did a hell of a good job here.

It’s amazing how all of a sudden Ricketts has become a managerial genius from one result.
Hurst saved us from relegation (bottom of the league when he took over), built a team of quality players (including loans), earned the club money through player sales, drew with premier league opponents and got us a replay at the London stadium, took us to Wembley twice and gave us our highest finish for over thirty years - whilst keeping us entertained in doing so.
How is Ricketts second season in comparison??
Hurst’s team won 87 points Ricketts team is on 37 points
Hurst’s team lost 9 games Ricketts team has lost 7 with 21 games still to go
Hurst’s team had a +21 goal difference Ricketts team is currently -4
Hurst’s team conceded 39 goals Ricketts team has already conceded 28 with 21 games left (30 with 20 and 1/2 left at half time in tonight’s match)
And you can throw into that some of the most dire, boring football I have ever had to endure from Ricketts’ team. Ultra defensive tactics that aren’t necessarily working given our goals conceded and goal difference.
As you can probably guess, I’m still not convinced by Ricketts. Tonight he has the chance to prove that we can comeback from 2-0 down, in a bread and butter match, on a cold Wednesday night v Gillingham away, and not just a glory tie where there is nothing to lose at the end of it.

From our point of view it was a great season with abit of misfortune in the final stretch but would Hurst or any future club look at his time here as brilliant? On paper he won nothing what so ever, if slipping out of the top 2 and losing twice at national stadium deemed a great CV then so be it.

What’s Sean Dyche won at Burnley? Nothing, therefore he hasn’t done a brilliant job there. What’s Brendan Rodgers won at Leicester? Nothing, therefore he hasn’t done a brilliant job there. There is a lot more to football than winning silverware.
