4-0 hat-trick for the most consistent and in my opinion by far the most improved player of them all despite his young age and despite off the field problems and despite the shit he puts up with at our club. I was not sure if this lad would ever come good but by hell he is doing the business now against all odds and in my opinion will go on to achieve success in professional football. Well done Rodders keep up the good work mate. Cassidy the other goal..

They have just appointed Jamie Fullarton as their manager but he won't be in charge tonight.

Munns is still nursing his sore gums. Magnay in for Luke George, who was never in a million years going to start 2 games in 3 days.

sad to say, from being a supporter since 1990 I don't even follow much now and haven't really all season - I've got a full enough life as it is without having to deal with this shite. Absolute arseholes have ruined our club.

We know he is out of his depth, but you would think he is solely responsible for the clubs demise reading comments elsewhere. The real culpible ones must rub their hands together when they hear all the abuse aimed at him.

Well the culpable ones appointed him, but I get what you are saying. Its the owners fault, but they appointed Harrison, its the players fault, Harrison signed them , its the backroom staff, Harrison gave them jobs...etc..etc.

Its past the point of no return now. Whoever came in, wouldn't be able to pull this around on the field, Harrison should of went in November, even then it would of been difficult with what was going on off the field, of course that is the reason Harrison wasn't sacked, couldn't afford to sack him, couldn't afford to replace him. Us and Barrow battling it out for last relegation place.

Will people please stop saying we have a decent squad for this league we do not or squad is as good as the manager they are the worst in pools history results, league position, professionalism, commitment and anything else you would care to judge them on the worst in 110 years.

After just under 30 years and I would guess around 1000 games. I don’t hardly bother checking the score and continued to go till just before Christmas. They do not even deserve that. All they are bothered about is their wages and possibly who can eat the most after standing about for an hour because looking at the state of them they don’t do training.

Each to their own but supporting these charlatans on the pitch has kept the charlatans of the pitch here. Guaranteed easy money for all concerned at HUFC.

The whole squad available for nothing and 1 player was signed by another team. Tells the story good squad on paper not even good enough to be a bad squad.

You can't argue that Munns and Donaldson had previously helped teams get out of this league, so that's exactly the sort of player we should of been signing, and Laing and Loach were the experience , playing beneath themselves, having played at a higher level, can't think of any reason why we would of signed George like.

I am not defending him as a manager, it just still amazes me how much blame he gets when others who have bled the club dry have got away relatively scott free.

Cassidy - has previous form in this league with poorer sides, also has scored goals in league 1 for Tranmere.
Donaldson - promoted with Cambridge from this league and also had a good season with Plymouth in the league who also went up
Loach - a keeper who has played most of his career in the upper echelons of the leagues, was even picked by Fabio Capello for the full England side at one stage whilst playing for Watford.
Munns - again, went up whilst in the first team playing for Cheltenham and scored a few goals.

The rest I'm not so sure on to be fair.

Anyway, does it really matter? sctatchinghead

The criteria was plain an simple, cheapest option.

I dare say the easiest to pull the wool over his eyes might have been a factor as our head of recruitment probably didn't want too many questions being asked.

Cassidy record is not that good but I don't see him as a goal scorer number 9. Would like to see him up front in a 4-4-2 playing behind Rodney for me.

Donaldson first time around looked like he didn't want to be here and shows like little has changed.

Loach form has been at first top draw but the England squad was sometime ago and last season finished at York. He has been a good addition to the squad.

For munns regardless of his involvement in the Cheltenham promotion not seen him play but would agree was heavily involved. But he has no position for me he's slow not very fit and his lack of height and strength is worrying why any management would sign him.

It's all about opinions but let's see where there careers go.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

The club's been stripped of all assets and is financially bankrupt. It really doesn't matter which end of the table we are, or hope to be.

Sage were left looking at a financial black hole, and they knew it as soon as Coxhall fucked off. They had to formulate an exit policy.

1. Sell the club to some ingenuous mug
2. Strip it for all it's worth

With crooked books and money flying out of the door (1) was always a non-starter - there just are not that many greedy mugs around with that kind of money.

The only thing they could do was stimulate the environment necessary to get as much "investment" into the coffers as possible, as soon as possible. Build hope - get the season ticket money in - get the gates as high as possible - get a new manager with a proven record of success (it doesn't matter where from).

Try to build a feel-good factor, while strategically squeezing the last remaining drops of milk from the cash cow.

All of the money in has been absorbed by Sage (and by extension, Pam as an employee/director).

Sage were left holding the baby. They do not give a flying fuck about HUFC and never have. They are an INVESTMENT company. They invested badly (were conned) and simply want a return on their money. In the world of business it is hard to criticise that attitude, BUT when it means that you have to lie and lie again to people who actually care about the outcome and who have invested a lifetime of emotion into the company it becomes evil.

EVIL because it hurts innocent people and does so knowingly.

There were those who believed Coxhall.
There are those who believe Pam.

For fuck's sake just wake up and smell the coffee.

Winning most of yer games in a welsh "shooting fish in a barrel league" gets you jobs, it seems. But only after we went after Paul Cox... but he cost too much money.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

The club's been stripped of all assets and is financially bankrupt. It really doesn't matter which end of the table we are, or hope to be.

Sage were left looking at a financial black hole, and they knew it as soon as Coxhall fucked off. They had to formulate an exit policy.

1. Sell the club to some ingenuous mug
2. Strip it for all it's worth

With crooked books and money flying out of the door (1) was always a non-starter - there just are not that many greedy mugs around with that kind of money.

The only thing they could do was stimulate the environment necessary to get as much "investment" into the coffers as possible, as soon as possible. Build hope - get the season ticket money in - get the gates as high as possible - get a new manager with a proven record of success (it doesn't matter where from).

Try to build a feel-good factor, while strategically squeezing the last remaining drops of milk from the cash cow.

All of the money in has been absorbed by Sage (and by extension, Pam as an employee/director).

Sage were left holding the baby. They do not give a flying fuck about HUFC and never have. They are an INVESTMENT company. They invested badly (were conned) and simply want a return on their money. In the world of business it is hard to criticise that attitude, BUT when it means that you have to lie and lie again to people who actually care about the outcome and who have invested a lifetime of emotion into the company it becomes evil.

EVIL because it hurts innocent people and does so knowingly.

There were those who believed Coxhall.
There are those who believe Pam.

For fuck's sake just wake up and smell the coffee.


this :-(
