Hurst was the pick of them not long ago!

Let's be honest, Hurst was never the pick of them. |  | | |

If the category is "mangers most likely to rip the heart out of your club, destroy your team and basically leave you more desolate than the Norwich City trophy cabinet" then yes Wurst was the pick of them
Thi in fairness we have had more than our share of managers who could fit that category |  |

Completely agree - but at the time, I seem to remember there not being many - if any, young English managers in a higher profile position. | |

Brendan Rodgers is less than 2 years older than Hurst. (I know he's not English, but in terms of home nations managers for comparison).
But yes, the pool has grown a little bit lately as the last crop of senior internationals have moved into management roles. Lampard, Parker, Gerard. even when we were looking at Hurst though, there were the likes of Rowett, Nathan Jones, Neil harris, Monk, Paul clement all knocking around. And all at a higher level than Hurst, who wasn't even close to being the pick of them at that time. [Post edited 5 Aug 2020 13:38]

I think I’ve given Hurst more credit for his age than I should - hadn’t realised that Rowett is more or less the same age (and Rodgers). I think, in explanation - I meant when he’d been appointed at Ipswich - but he then very quickly took us from what should have been a top end championship club to the road to relegation. I was lazily regurgitating some of the press at the time of his appointment. | |

He was certainly over-hyped. Although I do remember at least one person on here who knew more about his time at Shrewsbury and warned us that he wasn't a good option. Can't remember who that was now, but they were spot on. | |

Hurst was a good pick at the time. He’d learnt his trade, had had success in non-league, got Grimsby back into the football league and got Shrewsbury to two Wembley finals in a season and 90 minutes from the Championship.
We were a logical next step for him and with a bit of humility and shrewder judgement from him, he could still be here now.
Instead, both of us are damaged goods now. And it will take us a long time to repair what he did to our club. |  | | |
