Hurst is the reason we stayed up and was the best possible appointnent we could have made. I credit Roland for that for obvious reasons but the role of DoF is still the right way to go.

I'm still happy with him being here, lets forget January windows, they might as well not exist, Tellingly, 2 hours before this post you said: Presumably referring to Cotterill, who out of his three transfer windows at the time of his 18th place finish had two January ones, so it is looking a bit like you're scrabbling around and contradicting yourself in an attempt to discredit Cotterill and praise the new set-up, as per. Also, last time we didn't have a DoF the manager finished 12th, but there we go. For what it's worth, I'd not be looking to get rid of Moore this summer unless there's been a bust-up behind the scenes which means he can't work with Hurst and/or Roland's changed his mind about the set-up/Moore. There's a lot of assumption from many that Hurst definitely wouldn't want to work under a DoF, but I haven't heard any firm evidence to suggest this and tbh given his record over the last few years and this season (solid, but unspectacular) he's not in the strongest bargaining position to be making costly demands. My inclination would be give it another year and see how we go overall with a DoF and an experienced Head Coach model rather than DoF, Taylor and the DoF's mate model. Review how the signings have been, how we've done on the pitch and how the Academy is coming along this time next season, hopefully from a better position in L1 with Hurst still in charge.

Manager Recruitment - Taylor was a disaster and as has been pointed out, Hurst had a worse record than Taylor so his first two appointments could not be considered a success Have to disagree with that, at the very least the jury is still out on Hurst. We have to see how things go next season. And even looking to this season; we were on an awful run under Taylor, one win in 8 in league and cup wasn't it and with very little to suggest that Taylor was capable of turning things around (more so when looking to his previous management experience). Hurst, however was able to stop the rot. I had no confidence in Taylor doing the same. So I appreciate taking all the games into consideration that their records might be somewhat equal but that doesn't tell us the whole story. We were dropping like a stone under Taylor and whilst its been inconsistent under Hurst he at least steadied the ship.

I'm quite happy to discredit cotterill at every opportunity , bit like you do to about a dozen members on this forum And yes , it him 3 full windows to achieve 18th

Anyone know Hursts contract? Is he actually with us next season? Or will a team from Suffolk pounce like a tramp on chips? Oli Westbury did say on X earlier today his contract went beyond this season. No further detail.

As a matter of interest was Mickey Moore present at both awards ceremonies?
I’d say if he was he’s staying, if he wasn’t he’ll be leaving?
