As a fan i just want to be entertained with some hope of success and to be able to go to the pub and say "yes i enjoyed that". I agree with your point and statement "have a football identity and style of play which doesn't change as personnel (managers and players) come and go". If we were to have that and it be expansive play i would be more than happy whatever the result.

going right back to the 50.s and pre cloughie days pools did have a double identity. decent or good at home depending on the season but totally crap looking soft touch away where they seemed just waiting for the inevatable defeat.

Up to the 90’s …..for me, a draw away was great…but a win away was magnificent…easy pleased, but you were when that’s all you had to go by.

I started going away in the early 80s, the first away win I saw was in 1984 when les mutrie got the winner at feethams. Three years to see an away win, trying telling kids that these days

You were lucky. When I were a lad we had to wait three years for a Pools home win!

Heard hes training with Harrogate.

Emmanuel Dieseruvwe is reportedly set to sign for Rochdale, while Joe Grey is the subject of strong interest from Doncaster Rovers. Meanwhile, there appears to be little activity regarding incoming transfers at Hartlepool United.

Think we are going to sign the trialists.

Really shudder to think who we get up front, my prediction some bloke from a league below who barely made it into double figures, a kid on loan no one has heard of, and some diatribe about how either Folarin or Campbell are tearing it up in training and are like a new signing

I shudder to think how many points we will get next season. Once again a midfield with zero pace is shaping up and a non existent forward line, where it appears rochdale are more attractive than us. What a bloody mess.

Grey, Mancini, mani D Cleary all likely not around next year

A midfield so far where we pick from Hunter,Feather, Miley Sheron and Walker

I know signings still to come etc but we were shite last year and are so much worse currently this year…

How utterly depressing if this is true- giving our two best players to Rochdale and not getting a single penny in return- which other club would let that happen - really hope this is not the case, though suspect it's just matter of time.

This is Pools for you. It won't change until the ownership changes. All the signs are that its unlikely.

Joe Grey ⏳

Likely to finalise move away in coming days. Same as Dieseruvwe.

The Club is an absolute shitfest!!!
Thanks Raj.

you cannot beat the system caused by bosman years ago. this is happening all over the country. the only thing you possibly can blame the club for is not making it look more favourable for players to stay put without breaking the bank to bribe em to stay giving them everything they want.
