We should not be gifting good players to Rochdale FFS

We not the big fish of this shitty division any more.

The descent continues

Fucking despicable....bet it was only down to £100 a week aswell.
Fucking thanks Raj!!!
Just fucking go!!!

Nowhere near rock bottom yet.

I would be interested to know what the difference is/ was between what Mani was offered to stay and what we'll be paying Danny Johnson?
(Hasten to add this isn't a dig at DJ)

Not that we'll ever find out - though knowing Pools we'll probably be paying DJ more!

I don't think it's about the money - he just looked like he wanted away. Manni's 30 and Rochdale is a nice town. Close to Manchester and from what I've seen so far they're setting up well for the 25/26 season. He fancied a change and who can blame him?

I just hope he NEVER EVER learns how to head the ball (because he really can't).

Sorry did I read that right-

'Rochdale is a nice town'
Are you pissed? (serious question)

I take it you've never been to an away day there. The ONLY thing the place has going for it other than the EXIT, is the Chippy opposite the away end turnstiles. Rochdale the place is an absolute shit hole.

To quote my old man (who is sadly no longer with us)
'A great place to come from - NO good, to go to!'

I’d have expected a league side to come in for him, but no takers so he’s still at our level which I find surprising.
His time here was the only time he was a prolific scorer, will it continue or revert back to his pre Pools norm.
I lose no sleep with departed players, they’ve gone, like the girlfriend who blew you out, you move on and look to the future and never look back.

Rochdale is a nice town? Lay of the drugs! It’s only nice if you’re a Pakistani child rapist.

IMO he did not have a good season last year so if his replacement is better then its ok by me.
Good luck Mani i am sure the change of environment will help.

Let’s be cynical….we see these phototo’s at all clubs which just reinforce the fact that most players are transient and passing through……

Checking Mani’s goal scoring record in his career.
He played for 12 clubs prior to us and scored 43 goals in total.
He played two seasons for us and scored 42 goals.
What came right here and will it continue at Rochdale…?
And what percentage were penalties…?

must be the number one town in the country where being close to the motorway network has benefiited the residents. the ability to get out of the place quickly. unless there fans have changed he,ll get far less support from the fans and less forgiveness when he misses a sitter than with us.

he,s a real travelling man who i cannot see settling anywhere. could do the same for them as he did for us and still move at the end of his contract which could ne his last move at this level.

He has a reputation now, they’ll expect a continuation of his form here, at Rochdale.

depends which manni they will get and how quickly the newness wears off with him. the one in his first season with us or the post january version. that first season with us might have been the highlight of his career in the end.

They will be dissapoint Ed.
His agent played a blinder getting him a move closer to home on a 2 year Er.

Back to Pools the squad ain't promotion attire Yet and won't be.

Roll on new owners even if its after A.
WSO.

He might have gone for a longer term contract but no increase in his wages but a signing on fee.
