Two years ago yesterday, Pools lost 2-0 to Dover Athletic.

If someone had told you we'd be back in the football league the season after next, would have you believed them?

Challinor's the answer!

he is and something needs to be done to keep him quickly before the vultures come flying over the vic. think pre DC there was as much chance of playing darlo than exeter.

If the rumours are correct and the only thing that is stopping DC signing his new deal is assurances on staffing and resources then to me that bodes very well for the future and he's in it for the long haul. We've had managers in the past come in who have been happy to work with what's given to them, obviously just after a pay day.

DC certainly has shown he cares about the club - not had a manager of this ilk since maybe Cooper.

the mutterings im hearing are the assurance that the EFL money will be used to recruit the players DC wants and needs. Plus i think hes waitin on his number 2 to be announced/recruited before he seals the deal himself.

Anyone know when the Club actually receives this £1 million quid from the EFL.
Google sending me on a wild goose chase.

its a secret.
