Thought this would be from the 80s or 90s, what an absolute . Sling him behind bars. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt but having seen a couple of post-match interviews with this bloke in the past, I can't say I'm surprised that he's hopelessly out of touch. As one of the most ethnically diverse clubs in the country I was never entirely convinced that he was the right look for what they were going for. John Sitton eat your heart out - for members of a certain vintage.

Rob Edwards has left Forest Green and is in talks with Watford. FGR owner Dale Vince is not a happy bunny, according to Sky Sports News. That could be one of next season’s bottom four sorted.

It's a funny old game. The same Rob Edwards who left Telford after a year and wasn't much cop. Just like Mike Jackson, currently a Premier League manager who may have masterminded one of the biggest great escapes in recent years. Talk about sliding door moments.

Seems a bit premature to advertise he will be there for the whole season if you ask me!

If Watford are not in the top three come December, he'll be on his bike.

Forest Green had earlier said negotiations between Watford and Edwards took place "behind our backs".
Forest Green's owner Dale Vince told BBC Sport: "It takes a bit of the shine off winning promotion. If there's any karma in football they'll languish in the Championship and we'll meet them there in a few years' time."
"[Edwards] said he'd been advised by Watford and his agent to keep it a secret from Forest Green which I think is pretty poor from them. It's poor from Rob and he knows it.
"I thought I knew him better as a person."
Remind you of anyone?

Certainly brings back memories of a certain little snake and another “big” club who think they belong in the Premiership.

So, you are accusing someone at the club of lying. That doesn’t seem to bother you when the people running the country do it. Anyway, no hard evidence, so I will stick to my original opinion.

Isn't what Edwards has exactly what people were claiming they wanted Hurst to do, "get the job done and go with our best wishes"?
I'm starting to think that short of undying loyalty (from the manager's side of course, the club can still sack them) some people will never be happy.

I certainly don't know anything but believe you should always try to leave on good terms. There's no official version of how Paul Hurst left and as a result, rumour and speculation has been accepted by some as being the truth but how much do we really know and what were the circumstances of his departure? We know that Ipswich had finished their season and sacked their manager. Hurst was rumoured to be on a shortlist but could not make an official approach to the other club as they were involved in the playoffs. We know that STFC were in the play-offs and 2 + 2 did, on this occasion, make 4. The question now, is how do all parties handle a very difficult situation with important games coming up. Hurst has been heavily criticised for leaving 'the wrong way' but what is the right way? Ipswich had made no approach. Hurst had been offered nothing official. Any contact would have been on an agent to agent basis. We have to assume RW and BC would have spoken to Hurst but no one knows what was said. Hurst had a job to do and he could not possibly say anything which might affect the team. No one could say anything because there had been no official approach. I don't know if things could have been handled better. Some believe Hutst let ud down but I can see the the difficulties for all involved. Hurst saved us from relegation, an amazing 3rd position in the league and two trips to Wembley. When he left we made £2.5m in transfer fees for Nolan, Nsiala and Hurst himself. Where would we be now without it. I'm sorry Hurst left but we've now got another very good manager, possibly better, so let's get over 'the way he left', give credit where it's due and move on.

Or how about this scenario "we will double/triple your wages and give you a nice contract with decent severance terms" it seems to work for 99.99% of people and we would all do it like a shot.

At the In The Stiffs live event they mentioned they had recorded an episode with Chris Skitt which they said shed light on that season especially how things ended.

There is an alternative view - that from the Ipswich Press. Their ITFC reporter was spilling the beans a month before the season ended, that Hurst was a done deal, having met with Marcus Evans. Their forum were loving the idea. I remember it being said at our end that PH was having a couple of days off and that aroused my suspicions. All this was happening when we hit our disastrous late run of form, which cost us a top two finish. At least Rob Edwards delivered that for FGR.

At the In The Stiffs live event they mentioned they had recorded an episode with Chris Skitt which they said shed light on that season especially how things ended. Skitt being a neutral witness? He couldn’t wait to b*gger off to fill his boots as well. No doubt he was also given an offer he couldn’t refuse. I like In the Stiffs but do not take everything as “Gospel”. When is Marosi off to Swansea on this so called “done deal” that they were telling us about?

Whoever knew what and when, his behaviour at Wembley illustrated that he knew he was going. We went full of hope and left after the worst Wembley experience of them all.

All this was happening when we hit our disastrous late run of form, which cost us a top two finish. At least Rob Edwards delivered that for FGR. I remember after the famous Blackpool away game, Hurst put Doig in front of the cameras to do the post match and the conspiracists among us thought this was a curious step considering the Ipswich job had just become available the previous week and you could hear the faint sound of murmurings starting to do the rounds. Someone might be able to refresh my memory but there was some form of STFC commitment he was due to undertake towards the end of season but ended up going AWOL deciding to do the punditry on Sky for a League One game instead. Definitely showed some odd behavioural signs towards the end of his time here, suggesting that he was perhaps carefully curating his exit. I don't hold particularly strong views either way about Hurst. There was a time I would have taken him back but definitely not now. I'm sure we would more forgiving if like Edwards he actually managed to achieve his raison d'etre and get us promoted.
