I wanted rid of a boring safe pair of hands, 15th place finishes had me to the point of not wanting to be in the ground, I wanted a change and I knew it would be tough. But I didn’t realise quite how tough it would be.
We look absolutely bloody clueless. Nolan is fcking sht. Knudsen thick. Chambers honestly looks empty/lost.
We have a keeper on the bench on a new contract (guessing 10-15k a week) that the manager doesn’t fancy
The young lads all on loan.
I don’t understand what the fck is going on.
I’m not going to call for his head because I wanted this change, I’m not going to pussy about and prentend anything. But Hurst is struggling so so bad.
It is a total mess.
However, league 1 and going down doesn’t bother me. As stupid as that sounds. We aren’t ever going to be a premier league team ever again, so my only hope is if we do go down we can have a laugh in league 1, maybe even a playoff final or something. We aren’t a big club, we were decent when the TV was black and white. This is what we are now |  |

No, you were right to call for change. It's just unfortunate that we made the wrong decision with Hurst. |  | | |

Credit to you, but in reality it was definitely time for Mick to move on, although some of the vitriol from you and others was OTT. Unfortunately, it’s fast looking like Hurst is not the man for the job
Also for the record - we never once finished 15th under Mick! |  |

Scrapping tedious 0-0s away at Rochdale isn't going to be as much of a laugh as you think it is. |  |

Fine re your first few pars but on the last one — I think people who think relegation would be a jolly-up would have a very rude awakening indeed. Can't let that line of thought get too much traction. It's very dangerous.
And we were decent as recently (!) as 17 years ago. Don't know about you but in north Ipswich we had colour TVs back then. We can be decent again. So let's not sit back and accept going down. It would probably set us back many years even if football stayed in its current form. This needs fighting as strongly as possible, whatever it takes. [Post edited 2 Oct 2018 23:12]

Mate, the change was needed.
That doesn’t mean we should just blindly follow what comes after it.
Relegation is not the answer to any possible question right now. [Post edited 2 Oct 2018 23:11]

Change was right no doubt. People didn’t want to go anymore, me included, but I don’t think we have made a step forward in any way shape or form.
Evans isn’t a football man, he isn’t interested, he’ll pop his head in now and again. And puppet Milne says things are bad after about 15 games winless he might say get the next useless manager in.
PH shouldn’t have been allowed to spend all that money on L1/2 players in order to replace high end championship quality. |  |

When I say a laugh I literally mean a few different away games, maybe a bit of terracing. That’s all. Don’t think we’d win the league, but a day out at Wembley in a P.O. final would be nice | |

I agree with those saying relegation is not the answer but can anyone see us getting out of the bottom three at the moment? | |

I see no way back for us from League 1 under the Evans regime! |  | | |

Absolutely evans isn’t a football man.
For all MMs faults he was experienced in this game so ME could step back and not get too involved, but PH hasn’t got that experience and has spent a load of money on players that either aren’t good enough or don’t fit. .
I really wish we’d have got warburton in the summer. Closed the deal early, and had him shaping this squad | |

Lol.... you know what I mean tho, even tho nothing I do matters in the slightest, but I know I wanted changed and part of me feels im getting what I deserve. But I’ll accept that.... as long as we get Southend away on a warm summers saturday and we can take over the sea front | |

It was time for MM to go. It had reached its natural end.
The only solace for me is that the intellectual giants of the forum - me, Joe, Lucan, Frimley etc - all wanted Jack Ross  |  |

Lots wanted change including me but Hurst has blown it. It doesn't mean change wasn't needed. But we've screwed it up
For me, Burley and Butch need to come in. That could just give us enough lift to get us out the rut. |  |

....a change was needed, few people doubted that.
Some were just a little more realistic about where we already were as a club, and what/who was papering over the cracks.
Your last paragraph is ridiculous though.
If we go down, we will continue to go down and I don't think I'm being melodramatic.
He needs to go sooner rather than later, but I'm not sure that Evans has the balls to make the right decision.
Lets face it, so far he's only really got one "managerial" decision correct. |  |

Hurst is toast. He hasn't a clue what to do and him and Doig are out of their depth. I say this as someone who though PH was a great appointment. The longer we leave this, the nearer L1 we go. | |

Whats ridiculous about it?
Nothing I’ve said in there is incorrect, is it?
I’d have a laugh at a few different away games, might win a fair few, might get a decent feeling back.
Players I think we’d keep and would shine at L1 level... Donacien, Chambers, Skuse, Sears, Jackson, Harrison, ward. Decent enough group there, plus the kids we have on loan that’ll be getting experience | |

Fair play.
We are fooking sh*t but I can't buy into sacking him. We've made a bed so let's lay in it for a bit longer and see if we get a jump. The sheets are filthy and it smells but you never know your luck.
We are what we are. Maybe the delusions of grandeur disappearing will make PR a better place |  |

Why would putting the club in a sh7tter place make PR a better place? It won't, those are just words, we cannot afford to go down and if our best chance to stay up was to sack Hurst tomorrow I'd — reluctantly, because it'd genuinely be a huge shame — be bang up for it. | |

I never said anything about going down, I still don't think we will. I mean the fact that last season part of the problem was am element of fans that still believe we should be in the Premier league. It needed a new manager to struggle for some of them to accept that despite every we are a low end championship side by size. Just look at the price tag of the boro subs. The scenes last season were mad but those fans believed Mick was holding us back from the Premier league, we needed them to see how close we actually are to league 1, they can crawl away now and PR will be better for it. We should actually be proud of 17 years in the championship | |
