Notts County to prise 'unhappy' Paul Hurst from Grimsby?

I don't see Martin Allen returning, I'll keep saying this but I'd love to see him back at Meadow Lane. I think Notts know just how much someone like him could win over fans again, plus he knows League Two well.

Paul Hurst is okay, out of a bad bunch - he does stand out for the right reasons.

I would hope that we do not go for someone like Paul Hurst.

Nobody is asking why Grimsby fans do not like him!! What makes you think we would?

If it was between those 2 which I don't think it is , I would want Martin Allen without a second thought , wishful thinking I think though .

I'm not sold on Hurst, but I'd prefer him to some of the other names mentioned.

I was a bit puzzled as to why some Grimsby fans are negative towards PH, so I did some research on their forum. The best I could find is that he's dour, doesn't come over well in interviews, doesn't appear passionate (who cares? We want a manager not a performing chimp) and that the team was "limping into the play-offs" (how awful for them). It reminded me of some of the criticism of Keith Curle back when we had a team that would absolutely wipe the floor with the one we have today.

OK, he's no Ranieri or Mourinho in interviews, but Hursty is successful, Mariners fans must be moronic not to realise that, it'd serve him right if Notts do poach him, but before long, Hurst may realise what true unhappiness is.....(sorry guys)
