Did anyone hear Jeff’s pre-match talk? Anything interesting come out of it?

Irrespective of Stellings undying support for Pools he is not going to invest any of his cash in a loss making club like Pools, he might try and form a consortium to buy the club out or try and convince a ‘fillum star ‘ to part with their dosh.

He already has Jamie - we wouldn't have a club if it wasn't for Jeff! He put in with Raj when we were literally on the bones of our collective arse!

I also understand that he quite likes his life, and don't think Mrs Jeff would be too happy if he risked his lot on Pools.

Jeff is a top bloke and I'm sure that any prospective takeover by anybody credible would want him banging the collective drum- given his national media profile and extensive contacts.

We are lucky that he is one of our own, and I'm sure we can all agree that whilst he continues to be involved in whatever capacity, he will always do what's best for the club and it's incredibly loyal fanbase.

I’m not going to invest any of my money either, but I really do care.
Regards the loss making club comment…. I’d imagine that outside the Championship in real financial terms there won’t be many profit making clubs so the loss making’ title is a universal badge at our level.

he is ideal for being a figurehead of a consortium to take over. surely with his knowledge of people in the game he could spot a wrong un or one of his close contacts could. i think jeff would stand a better chance of getting me to invest in the club than someone with all that business speel.

Maybe the asking price is to high and Sing wants more back than hes put in.
Some fans think a football chairman pay for everything.
Fans
Sponsors
Tv cash
Cup runs
Parachute cash etc! will come to a lot more than what a 4th division chairman puts in.
Hope we not become a yoyo club from divisions 5 to 4 n its classed as major success

I dont believe we up for sale.
The dummy come out n went back in.
No comment regarding Stello.

KPG You are correct about money coming in but all can not be relied upon and the chairman has to dip in from time to time. You say that he wants more than he’s put in so you agree he has been putting his own money in?

Looks like nobody on here did hear the pre-match talk, doesn't it?

Absolutely

I’ve said on here from the outset I don’t think we are up for sale….. too much happening in my opinion for a club with the ‘for sale’ sign up.
I wonder if Raj is determined to prove a point and wouldn’t blame him if he wanted to.

Is it Monopoly cash that gets turned into a Loan.?

Clarence18 or something like that.
The Darlo lads probably know how it gets classified as.
Not fishing by the way just asking the question..

As long as we carry on I don’t worry about the finances.

so if thats the case with all the money coming in why are every club in the league making a loss every season and everyone has some debts. got to a point in football wqhere clubs brag about losing less money than the season before.

Anything from Raj in the programme notes?

So if the income from non chairman funding is there it’s a good thing. Better to make a club generate cash than be totally be dependent on the whim’s of a chairman.
It also makes it a more desirable option to a prospective buyer if the club has external independent funding.

Is anyone on here daft enough to pay for a digital programme? If Raj Singh wants to communicate with Pools fans he needs to do it on a free platform that everyone can access.

i have bought some crap in my time but i could not stoop that low even if i could do it. by the end of the game i knew who all our players were including subs and that will keep me going till all our marquee signings arrive.

We live in a digital, online, paperless, cashless world nowadays, we just have to get used to it unfortunately, I am sure the younger generation aren’t bothered. What Singh should do instead of programme notes is put them on the OS site or Twitter, a lot of the club info is now on Twitter

When recently has anyone from the club mentioned the words ‘ marquee signings’?

Unless they want a big tent signwriting

These days I think tongues are firmly in cheeks whenever you see that

Aye, Butt whos cheeks.lol

bugger the younger generation what about the rest of us who are having things forced on us and never asked for it in the first place. the world never rolled over for me when i was young.

It’s called progress, in years gone by you had petrol pump attendants now you do it your self, bus conductors collecting the fares on the buses etc. Once they sort out self drive cars out they might even do away with taxi drivers.
In London the Tube could operate with out drivers but the unions are stopping that, the trains in Dubai Airport and many other places going from terminal to terminal are driverless, a passenger plane can take off and land on autopilot, no need for a pilot.

No it's called total and utter control of the masses by the few

Please take a poll at the next home game on how many people are willing to fly on a plane without a pilot.

I will be surprised if you found 1 person willing to do so.

Don't want to sound sexist but there are few who are not keen on having a female pilot either.

Self drive cars- are just a pipe dream!
Too many variables at play for that to ever be realistic.

It would take far too long to get anywhere, plus we'll never have the infrastructure to be able to support it. They can't even fill potholes as things stand.

Who takes the blame in the event of an accident or malfunction?

A modern plane flys by computer, the pilot usually lands the plane I have been on loads of flights with women pilots, never a problem.
All large commercial jets can land automatically, but still with plenty of pilot involvement. So-called autoland systems are a part of aircraft autopilots. All large modern jets are equipped with such systems, which can automatically land the aircraft, albeit under careful supervision from the pilots themselves

If a plane, train, bus can self drive why can’t a car ?

A plane still has a pilot
Self drive trains, trams and guided bus ways like the one in Cambridge - are on tracks- a pre laid out route on which to follow.
I understand that you can have a self drive car- though to think that the whole driving population could have one is fantasy and certainly not in our lifetimes. The country can't cope with introduction electric cars at the moment, as it is.

So you agree PILOTS are needed - Case won

Points system now, you have one up on me, how petty can one get, pilots only needed if there is a malfunction, give it a few years and planes will be controlled similar to drones from thousands of miles away like space craft are.

Companies will never go driverless or pilotless, this is due to compensation claims if something goes wrong. No CEO, MD, HR or Manager will take the blame for fucking up and risk jail sentence. Humans will always be up at the front for blame culture.

Like Singh, he never blames or hold is hands up, always blames the next person. Jeff talks a good talk but never commits as he's not stupid, as he knows he be to blame when things don't go well.

A plane can fly a pre planned route on auto pilot, what it cannot do is anticipate emergencies or changes to circumstances…trains and buses can do it in theory on short stretches of segregated track or road, but not on the public highway for obvious reasons.
As for driverless cars, they’d be scarier than a roller coaster ride with no brakes, the offspring of a one night stand between a bumper car and a Scalextric.
They are just so impractical..if I go for a run in the country I want to go where the fancy takes me at my whim not strapped in some pod.

The point I making is we send exploration satellites etc to various planets controlled from earth, the yanks fly drones all over the place remotely controlled from some where in the States. Therefore there is nothing to stop an aircraft or vehicle in the future being controlled from thousands of miles away is there ? The war between Ukraine is not being fought with conventional aircraft but drones.

Why then would you get in a driverless car- if it could then be controlled from thousands of miles away?

Just imagine you think you're going to work one morning, but unbeknown to you Sergei from Moscow is sending you to Ram raid a jewellers in Luton instead?

Or maybe Nee Hi from Beijing is sending you to a lockup on a disused trading estate in Corby when you assumed you were going to Morrisons for the Christmas Big Shop?!

Not for me I'm afraid - I drive my own car, where I want it to go!

In the 80s one of my best friends based in stocksley started a satellite producing company.He was a millionaire at that time and him n his partner put everything into the satellite factory totally believing super riches are just around the corner. Anyway he died at 58 yrs old of a heart attack ...But we had a very long detailed chat a month before and he was embarrassed to tell me its not what he believed it to be and the only satellites would be hanging from hot air balloons and only produced by a selected few American companies who would be trusted to keep stum..He left his wife Barbara and daughter Helen bankrupt because he believed the dream n put every penny into the factory.

Sorry, but my monthly publication Air Forces Monthly has extensive coverage of the the Ukrainian situation.
The drones are used and should we say sold as smart weapons, but it’s more out of necessity than choice….you cannot control your airspace with drones.
The Ukrainians are desperate to obtain used F16 and F18 aircraft … a manned aircraft is far more desirable than drone support weapon to them.
Appearances can be deceptive.
As regards the programme going on line it’s happening because it’s cheap.
Some people like to save them , savour them or even collect them. Having them online is not quite the same….. and like a lot of things nowadays transient….the difference being a online programme is in someone else’s possession not yours, even though you’ve paid for it.

can see it happening way in the future. main problem is who are going to make use of it all. how many will be in work outside those who manufacture them. no need for schools either as all that can be on line. all shops are self service with robots stacking shelves. robot wars taking over from football. then whilst it happens some kid in his back bedroom finds a way to crash anything like we can have our bank account scammed at any time. there are getting more and more reasons now to be thankful of old age.
