Well. Didn't really say a lot we didn't know. Marosi is gone, Dunks and Dan might stay if others don't offer more money.
It's going to be a hard season again, but they'll be as fit as. And get behind them again.
All well and good.

The wanting to play higher and ending up the division below is interesting

No pre season jolly in the Spanish sunshine, looks like lots of hard running up Haughmond.
When are the pre season games being anounced if they are already set up?

Dunks could go to Walsall...is he a west mids lad??? Born in Wolverhampton and think is still in the area judging by the article a while back about his drinks business. Presume that's why he's here in the first place

I'd expect Dunkley to get a side in L1 fairly easily, may have to drop his wage demands slightly but his stats generally were still good for a struggling side. I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up at somewhere like Bristol Rovers

I expect Dunkley to go to a club that remains fairly local to him, can pay good wages, are in need of Centre backs, and don’t require those Centre backs to be good at playing out from the back. Can think of a team that play in Red and white that would be suitable.
As a bonus point aswell, that club can also provide excellent advertisement and business support for his up and coming self made alcohol brand.

He did refer to the need to change what he described as the "culture" or mentality of the Club from that which has existed for years, certainly back to when he was here before: the acceptance of our position in whatever pecking order in which we find ourselves - acknowledgement of those realities is perfectly OK, but acceptance of them is certainly not - in what is self-evidently a competitive industry we must try to improve our position, and as I have said before, that culture stems from the very top.

This all screams that either more significant investment comes soon, or another season of real struggle lies ahead.

If Crewe come up Dunkley might end up somewhere like there, I think he played for them before.
Then again he might still be here,
Marosi won't be though.

Yep....you can't keep accepting finishing in 17/18th position all the time.whether we've got money or not.next season we need to strive to finish at least mid table,and why not.youve only got to look at Crawley in league 2,and what they've achieved this season,with I guess, little or no money.and it was the same with us in 17/18.everybody within the club,should strive to do the very best they can this coming season,and see where that takes us

I have to say excellent questions from the lass interviewing Paul Hurst, much better than those before her like Whitters and co.

Good, work them hard Paul & Chris.

Dunks could go to Walsall...is he a west mids lad??? Just been watching a podcast about Troy Deeney and discovered he’s from Brum and played at Walsall. I found myself googling whether he’s retired from playing or not 😳 Not saying we need him but someone of that ilk who is experienced and demands from others. And can score goals!

Regrettably true; as if striving to to exist constitute "competing"...they are probably Town fans, but don't grasp the concept of competitive sports!

Doesn't seem very long really considering premier league and play offs are still going on, and then Euros. Expect the market to be pretty slow and so find it hard to believe they will have many through the door by that point given the difficult finances - couple of additions maybe on top of the 10 signed at present.

My main takes were about how we have to be a lot smarter in the transfer market than previously. Seemed like a swipe at Mickey Moore to me. Or could have been on about the overspend.
The bit about how some fans expect us to be in the Champions League in 3 years brought a chuckle. But as stated above, he also said we shouldn't have a culture of just accepting being at the bottom and happy to exist. I do however feel that's exactly how the club presents itself to me, but perhaps I'm being harsh.
And finally, I'm amazed how many people on this thread have not heard the interviewer before. It feels like she's been interviewing our managers for years!

Given that it was you who chose to reintroduce the phrase that shall not be mentioned, do you seriously expect those people at whom it is directed to feel offended, and wishing to defend themselves too?? I repeat, forcibly, that to criticise the Club does NOT make you, in that most obnoxious and nonsensical of phrases, an "anti-Town fan"; indeed, you yourself, have admitted to criticising the Club on occasion - are you the original member of the imaginary group? So as to avoid any accusations of "hijacking the thread" by all means PM me.
