A creditable result yesterday, with a much depleted pool of available players! Moving forward, in preparation of next season, KP has an opportunity to clear out a lot of deadwood (though he may be saddled with 1 or 2); freeing up a significant amount of the budget. Another close season of...

Yet another typical Pools season draws to a conclusion. Will things improve going forward under the management of Kevin Phillips , or can we anticipate yet more drama?

https://www.hartlepoolunited.co.uk/news/2024/april/an-update-from-raj-singh/ Though I haven't a clue what is being said!

A few observations as the season comes to a close - KP would appear to be a decent appointment, and has already recognised the lack of professionalism; fitness, ability to see games out, etc - the Mail, provided a list of the 14 players brought in on loan, and with only one exception (Hendrie)...

The 4 points gained over Easter weekend should be sufficient to guarantee survival in NL for another season, with still a number of games remaining. However, what the results of last 4 matches have highlighted as much as anything else is the inconsistencies of performance. I'm sure this won't...

Over the decades of supporting Pools these sort on enigmatic results have been commonplace. Similarly, after the euphoria of yesterday's result, it is anybodies guess as to what the outcome of Monday's match will be!

I've watched KP's post match interview and he genuinely seems at a loss to explain what caused the collapse last night. He also appears to be totally embarrassed. We, long suffering, supporters are not necessarily that surprised! As we've seen similar performances many times over the decades...

https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/torquay-united-drifting-fans-enough-2918381 Another club being poorly served by the Owners. Raj at least is trying to ensure that Pools are on a solid footing.

After today's statements from the Club and Trust it is a certainty that negotiations are over without an agreement for Ownership transfer being agreed. Not sure how Pools go forward from here, but the Club have made several recent signings and recruited a "goalkeeping coach"; which would suggest...

I'm not one of those desperate to see Raj go, I know he's made mistakes - who hasn't - but I think he has been generally good for the Club. There are perhaps some clues as to the future contained in the recent interviews with Lennie Lawrence and Kevin Phillips (they seem to imply he is...

Have Pools reached the end? Latest comments from the Club and Trust in respect of "takeover " would suggest that they are unable to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement. This next week could be worrying for all Poolies!

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/jan/18/scunthorpe-back-from-brink-michelle-harness Has a familiar sound to Pools issues post IOR

Will Raj be selecting the team at the weekend? Surely, if a temporary appointment from within was to be made an announcement would have been forthcoming by now! Did JA request funds for squad strengthening, only to be denied, precipitate his dismissal? Pools have, at least, 3 what can be...

Askey has left the building!

When I posted on 12 November, I was adamant that I wouldn't post again! But, with the current dire situation I feel it is necessary to have, yet another, final say. As Billy2 alludes to, it would seem obvious that Askey has "lost the dressing room" and is incapable of organising and motivating...

Wishing everyone, and anyone, a Merry Christmas and a Joyful New Year.

Not the martial clarion call, but my final epistle to this message board. Those who still, on occasion read the Board will have identified that is is dying - no doubt, an indication of the fate awaiting Pools in the not so distant future! Mr Singh, it appears, has indicated in his recent...

Finney, left Club Featherstone deal extended to end of season. One out, One in. Suspect this demonstrates how JA is having to manage the budget.

For what it's worth, probably not a lot, I think there are deeper issues impacting on Pools players/performances than injuries (?) loss of form and poor team management. Really concerned by latest developments on Ownership front with Raj entering discussions with Supporters Trust; don't...

It would appear from report in Mail, that Raj is intent on sticking by JA. He may well be right to do so. However, I do hope that Raj makes it clear that current performances cannot continue. I don't believe that JA can continue with 532, our players aren't suited to this formation. Also, JA...
