The documents lodged at Companies House do not appear to refer to GC personally... probably an error, just like the incorrect reply to FOI request re negotiations about the ground and surrounding area. Like many there tonight, perhaps we should accept this.....................

My question was about the FOI request I lodged and to be honest I didn't believe GC, something just doesn't ring true for me - I'm going to do a followup request asking the council to check again as I have information they have misinformed me and they have a legal duty to give truthful answers even if its a simple no comment

i mean, I could pay for a survey of the millhouse, doesn't mean shit

Quite a predictable night then?

But, I have no problem with Dave Jones being a 'twat' I hope he's a proper one we probably haven't one as manager (in the good sense as in being a good football manager as well as being a bit of a twat) since Cyril Knowles. So fuck if he's a bit arrogant and thinks the supporters are idiots, plenty of us are as long as this time next year we're not looking at the half of the league we have been for the last how many years he could be as big a twat as he wants for all I care.

As for the likes of Mcelhone, what do you expect. Stuff going on in the background my arse. The bloke is selling second hand pint pots on Ebay, that's how skint he is. His mate has no doubt done a bunk and done alright for himself like everyone said he would when they looked at his massive list of dodgy companies and liquidated businesses.

The likes of Chip and Mr I were right all along about tonight, people charged a ten quids to listen to more of his garbage.

He said he would prove his doubters wrong with his actions- well the transfer window told us all we need to know about the bloke. All talk and no action. What a disgrace he is.

i'm that reprobate who broke with the tradition of the place, and frankly not arsed who knows it. Disappointed by the people there who knew more than me about several things particularly the ground situation but were unwilling to speak out.

As has been said, each reply was vague, Twitter-esque and I felt like walking out the minute the first question came out about Dave Jones' feeling towards a Parmo. These are the people we're relying on to save this club when it inevitably goes tits up.

There's no hope.

He did confirm Goldberg has gone though didn't he?

That is surely a positive from the evening as from the outset and subsequent digging he was clearly the potential villain in all of this? I don't believe that Coxhall is a bad bloke or that for one second he wants this to fail but I am massively concerned about his competence for the role and whether even if he thinks they are his actions are in the best interests of the club it's not going to lead to serious problems for the club. I just can't stop drawing comparisons with Gary Gibson but at least he only really overspent on the team if the transfer window is anything to go by it's right at the bottom of this blokes priorities.

I'd expected that only written questions would be taken, as at the Ronnie Moore Q&A, so I'd written mine out on large sheets of paper at home in advance.

I gave them to Nick Loughlin as soon as he arrived and could see Gary Coxall reading them while we were waiting for Dave Jones to appear. I had seven questions and, while I didn't expect seven questions from one person to be asked, I thought any of them should have taken precedence over feckin' parmos.

Briefly questions handed in but not asked involved:

1 From debt free in June 2015 to three winding up petitions by December 2016. How?

2 We have been told that that no formal approach has been made to HBC regarding the purchase of land on the Mill house site.
Correct or not?

3 Have Dave Jones and his assistants signed their contracts ? If not what are the reasons ?

4 Whose idea was it to sign Devante Rodney and was Pamela Duxbury involved ?

5 Why is the squad so big with so many young, inexperienced players when we need to be concentrating on today not tomorrow?

My question about Peter Goldberg's involvement, also asked by others, was answered and an intended question about how Coxall had sold Jones the dream had been glossed over vaguely in part one of the evening, but certainly not in a convincing way and we were no clearer afterwards.

It was all very vague and Coxall rambled on and frequently repeated himself.

What did we learn?
Well, we are not in a relegation struggle - the chairman told us that- and, never to go to such an evening again

Whatever our thoughts on the evening's compere I don't think we are doing ourselves any favours by disdainfully referring to him as Mark Simpson's teaboy and being unable to even type his name in without that appearing on screen.

Come on, we're better than that. Take the moral highground.

It appears most men, once they hit their mid forties, become 13 again and spend most of their time participating in one-upmanship games and seeing how best they can belittle their rivals.

Everyone iv talked to who can put a coherent sentence together was very disappointed by the night and left with more worries than they went in with.

Seems it was a chance for Coxall to win some fans over and quash some doubts but he failed miserably.

Out of order Valiant! A young bloke tried to smash through the censored questions - asking about Goldburg etc - and Coxall patronised him - and at least 20% of the retards present supported Coxall. I walked out at that point - not just because my (written - pass them to teacher) questions had been ignored, but because I'm not a pond sucker - and that is how Coxall and Jones (seriously, what a twat) were treating the audience.

Yes, some of the folk there must be related to Coxall (or be seriously retarded), but some of us do have IQs above the average and still do care.

Oh, and Gary, so you think that folk who pay for bricks in walls don't matter................

Well Gary, I've sponsored matches, boxes, balls and so forth - I probably won't now go tomorrow - and you can go sing for me paying for another batch of season tickets................

F Me! Coxall even took the piss out of the new 'sponsored' stadium name!

Cant blame you in the slightest.

Like I mentioned several times, I was excited to hear the outcome of Gary's chance to relate with the fans. Nothing but disappointment has come from it though.

I can't help feeling he's been to Chairman Mao's school of customer relations.

I don`t think any type of discussion is going to change the minds of the impressionable and it is beyond reasoning with them, everyone likes a dream or being in a group of like minded people and that is what we have here, realist and fantasists.

For me the very fact GC is consistently evasive would imply he has reasons to be and all is not well. People who have nothing to fear or hide do not behave in the way he does. The financial history of the club during his short tenure makes for scary reading and if people think 3 Winding Up Orders is the norm or even remotely acceptable they need certifying. I really truly fear for the future of our club now, all is clearly not well and its true what someone said earlier after Uncle Ken...............be careful what you wish for.!!!!!!!!

Funny I heard exactly the same as everyone else in attendance and came away feeling much better.

As stated , do you think Dave Jones will be here painting changing rooms and eating pizza with the youth team kids if we was only here in the short term. His tone was very much longer haul with a plan to turn club around - admitting to the many shortcomings the club has - I.e lack of scouting network. He admitted jones at Gateshead wasn't even in club radar! Anyone surprised at this after the bizarre decision to bring tommy Miller snr back in?

Coxall admitting he has made many mistakes and therefore appointing a new FD and Head of recruitment to avoid making similar mistakes. I could go on...

Don't get my wrong - lots of dubious answers - his answer about the HMRC payments don't add up - if you pay your mortgage 4 days late every month you will eventually be kicked out! There were other concerns; but what resonated was the guy wants to do well for the club - yes it will be a Rocky road to start out and I'm prepared to give him that - Just wish others would. A decisive and in-fighting club will achieve nothing!

I'm afraid at our level the football industry has created a load of would be abromovich's who see a football club as a vehicle to promote other businesses, make money and feed an ego.The element that ruins us is that these people have very little money behind them, so they gamble on the clubs future with redic pipe dreams like huge stadiums (darlo) and this bizarre property project coxall has got a loan for that doesnt yet even exist.

I really hope one fan has misquoted when he said coxall will just pay the hmrc bills when he feels like it and he doesnt really view that important.

I dont believe for a second dave jones being here changes anything.

He's an out of work football manager who wanted a job.

He will be looking out for himself, he's already had an article in the daily mail and the telegraph, so people know he's about, at a club like pools he has nowt to lose, do well and he's back in the game, do poor and he's struggled at hartlepool like everyone else does.

Him being here changes nowt.

Chrissy Stevo · **Posted:** Sat Feb 04, 2017 9:57 am

I think his silence on the important questions is deafening. I thought that the whole idea of the Q&A session was to put at ease the minds of the people with concerns, he had the perfect opportunity to do so last night. If questions like Rupet Ritziks were ignored in favour of questions about Parmos that tells me all I need to know.

I had been talking to people a while ago at games, when Hignett was stating we had no money and people needed to leave before people could come in. Coxall pretty much stated that this was not the case and people seemed to be buying what Coxall said. As I was saying at the time, what does Hignett have to gain from saying it if it isnt true?

I keep wanting to give GC the benefit of the doubt, I am (or thought I was) sure he had the best interest of the club at heart but the longer the elusiveness goes on the more my trust in the fella diminishes. I just hope we have enough to keep us up this year and that next year, as GC says, will be a more stable year at least financially........but I have my doubts.

How will the club be more stable when it's in a worse state than when he took over? Does his financial plan involve winning the lottery?

I find it all so disappointing and oddly I'm not disappointed in Gary Coxall because nothing new came out of last night. Not a single piece of fact or an answer worthy of the description.

I am disappointed that we have a local journalist so clearly in the pocket of the club that he would participate in a stage managed Q&A and stand by while the soft questions were answered but the real questions were ignored.

I am disappointed that we have a small group of fans willing to join in with the charade and then claim that the future is bright in exchange for a tickle belly session. I can only assume that the shared brain cell needed new batteries.

I am disappointed that people who asked the real questions and in particular one with the background of Mr Brian Honour's left foot, a bloke who has been instrumental in saving this football club in the past, were ignored. It's not overstating it to say that without Mr Left foot there wouldn't be a Hartlepool United FC.

I am disappointed that people accept outright lies as fact. GC says that the loans were his. This is simply untrue as any cursory glance at the documents will show. The loans were secured on the assets of HUFC Limited, not Coxall in a private capacity. I'm sure he'll say that he owns JPNG which is little more than a shell company, but his words were intended to give the impression at best that he had personal liability. He does not and any suggestion otherwise is just plain wrong.

What's left of the club is run by a man who sees the high court as an extension of his purchase ledger department. He is aided and abetted by a Property Development company. This industry has a very successful track record in being involved with football clubs. Unfortunately the success was limited to the property development businesses.

Frankly we're screwed. We have too many people around who refuse to look facts in the face and happily accept a script that was clearly, obviously, demonstrably, packed with lies.

I've just checked back. I first posted that he'd gone on 23 December. He has been asked repeatedly whether he was still involved and he swerved the question by saying 'Peter is still involved with JPNG' an answer that was irrelevant to the question!

I think that he has only come clean because documents will be filed very soon removing Goldberg as a director and Coxall knows full well we have access to this information.

Jesus wept! My toast doesn't taste the same after reading that. I feel sick to the stomach that some "interloper" (maybe not yet, but is fast becoming) could be doing that here.
Somebody needs to act now before the situation gets a lot worse and become irreversible. I wish I had the wherewithal to be able to do it, like someone who has access to the media and has the club at heart.

Well on the positive side, Access actually appear to have some cash.

JPNG still seem to be recruiting on linkedin. 1 or 2 jobs posted each month which must pay incredible commission for Gary to claim that they have been paying Pools bills this season.

If the loan company do end up taking over from JPNG then that doesn't necessarily mean bad news.
Reynolds borrowed a hefty sum from the Sterling Consortium and when he put us in admin Stewart Davies took over the club to protect his investment. He stabilised things and sold us on to recover his money, unfortunately to George Houghton who also landed in the crap.
Davies though seemed a genuine bloke.
