Hurst is a proven power league manager, we'd be amazingly lucky to get him.
Personally I'd spend what it takes to lure him, Gary Bowyer or Simon Grayson here.
Until we get a proper manager we'll just remain in this hopeless doom loop.
History shows that to be true, Sirrel, Wilkinson, Warnock, Allardyce, Cotterill and I would say Allen are the successful ones, were before coming to us, were after.
Of the rest only Russel Slade has managed a promotion since leaving us and I honestly couldn't count them all off the top of my head but it must be over a dozen.
There's no short cut, the manager has to be right or the whole club's wrong from Youth teams to marketing it all hinges on the manager getting the first team right. Trew never grasped it, I'm really hoping that Hardy isn't as stupid.
