Adam Hinshelwood, new Hastings boss.

[turienzo's lovechild]

echo the previous statements regarding his qualities as a player. He's one of the most talented defenders we've ever produced in my view

Another reason given in the Argus yesterday was health concerns - apparently Hare had three heart attacks seven years ago and he has had problems with high blood pressure this season (Hastings were the highest scorers in the top eight tiers of English football this season with 128 goals but there were scorelines like 5-4, 4-4 and 4-3). Apparently his wife is a nurse so the decision is understandable.

Cheers. I didn't know that about his blood pressure. It also wouldn't have helped that his player-assistant manager, Steve Watt left for Margate in February and his replacement, Matt Longhurst from East Grinstead, quit and went back after after 2 weeks as well.

Hopefully does better than his uncle!

Mark Beard is moving in to that role. He played for a number of clubs including sheffield utd and millwall. I've met him a couple of times through friends and he seems like a very knowledgeable and passionate guy. The club seem to also think highly of him. All good for Adam and Mark.

The 3 year contract went well for Adam Hinshelwood - http://www.hastingsunited.com/news/...re-and-immediate-appointment-of-chris-agutter

Yet another ex-Hastings United manager.

I must admit I wiouldnt relish the drive from Selsey to Hasting every day.

Being appointed back at Worthing apparently?

So it seems. What has happened to Gary Elphick he has obviously gone.

That's suprised me, AH leaving

Have they agreed that the official line for his departure is "personal and family reasons"?

The press release doesn't make it particularly clear

I assumed they had as both the club and Hinshelwood mention them, though the obvious distance issue from Selsey to Hastings wasn't a factor when he was appointed and took the role.

It's not a happy ship at Hastings United - a director and volunteer resigned a few weeks back, players are leaving, rumours of training ground bust ups are circulating etc. Beating Harrogate on penalties live on ESPN in front of 4,000 in the 2nd round of the FA Cup seems like longer than 5 years ago now.

He resigned earlier in the month after 6 defeats in a row - http://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/15525883.Elphick_resigns_as_Worthing_manager_after_Margate_defeat/

Elphick played 70 mins for Hillians today having been signed as Captain. He was ok, we were crap!

Mark Beard the old HH manager? Was he not involved at Crawleys youth set up?

 

[BrianWade4]

Not as a defender, a fit Adam Hinsh was twice the defender Adam Virgo was.

Virgo now twice the size though

 

[BensGrandad]

Hinsh problem was he was seldom fit.

This.

I worked in Selsey for a while when I lived in Brighton, horrible drive. Bad enough driving to Chichester, then it's a fair few miles down to Selsey, usually stuck behind a tractor.
I also worked in Hastings, not am easy journey from Brighton either.

Selsey to Hastings has got to be a 2 1/2 hour journey.

Debatable

It's open to debate.

There are forums that debate all manner of nonsense.

All the players jumping ship won't have helped keep him
