Just noticed that he's on twitter, on some weird username aswell.

He's currently the face of some financial organisation dealing with mortgages n summit else equally as daft.

Talking about being hungry, in general, and wanting to get back into the game.

Clubs offering him a job as a scout, i feel sorry for them.

He calls both us a and sheff wed 'we' so i'm not sure who he supports these days.

I am amazed he even knows how to turn a tele on.

If he supports Pools, why was he so determined to relegate us?

Howay guys. OK Turners managerial career after his first spell with us may have been sub standard, but the bloke is still human.

I dont for a moment think he deliberatly tried to relegate us. And I am saying this, (the bloke who took the big blue banner with "TURNER OUT" on it). Granted his managerial skills may have lacked and some may say his first spell was a flash in the pan, a one off. Maybe it was but I dare say if it wasnt for Mr. Turner in his first spell we may be looking at football similar to Darlington.

Maybe scouting could be his role, or even a behind the scenes (PR work for the club, Club / Schools link or something) but to take this critisism is harsh on the bloke.

I agree to an extent but he has brought on this ill feeling himself by spouting shite.

He isn't a bad man though, and did do his best, he best in League One just wasn't good enough.

I asked him on twitter who his next take over victim was going to be...

He just sent me a PM saying 'nice one'

Why could scouting be his role?

Have you forgotten who we got rid of in the summer, that he signed, be realistic, goalkeepers in general don`t make good managers, are there any

I think the fact the IOR allowed him to buy who he wanted when he wanted had more to do with it.

He didn't exactly have an open cheque book!!!
I'm sure he did his best. It's just unfortunate that second time round it didn't work.

Fook me what a load of utter nonsense!

You wonder why you sometimes get a hostile reaction on here but willingly post shite like that!!

Can we please stop threads about that man as i get chest pains that they thread is going to say he is back at this club in any capacity.

I thought he was heading up some youth training programme with some ex pros? Guess that didnt last then and they soon saw what little knowledge he had.

As for employing him as a scout!!!! :roll:

I'm in two minds over this. His second spell was indeed disastrous but the man did keep us in teh league first time around and without doubt built the foundations for promotion.

Credit where its due and all that.

To be fair he broke the club transfer record twice in a fortnight spending more in the process than almost every manager in Pools history combined apart from Alan Murray.

And who did that get us ? Freestone and Jones, both of whom are worse players than me.

You must be pretty good then because Gary Jones was a good player. He might not have got the goals for Pools but he was a decent footballer all the same.

I can't really argue Freestone :laugh:

I think that was more our dire predicament than Turner, whoever they replaced Mick Tait with would have got that money or IOR would would have owned a non League Club.

It's fair to say throughout both spells Turner signed four bad players for every decent one. But to suggest he could have signed "who he wanted" is utter nonsense, utter horseshit in fact. This is was in the same period Hodgy couldn't get the Loids promoted with a blank wage bill almost. We played them in the play offs with the likes of Ian Clark, Craig Midgley, Darren Knowles, Gary Jones, Chris Freestone and Martin Hollund in our squad. We only finished a few places below them.

I'd rather listen to nonsense than horeshit.

FACT.

Although Taity's team were dropping like a stone we were well way from the bottom when he left. Turner signed a lot of players in a short space of time and like has been said he had more money than any other manager in the history of Pools. First time he had a bit of charisma and when he appeared to of got things right he did one and was found out....

Turner got a lot of credit for work that Brian Honour - then Colin West put in on the training ground, he was media friendly and popular - he could talk a good game. After his spells at Shef Wed and Stockport all confidence and charisma was gone and he started talking shit...

Pools were six points clear of the drop when Turner took over that season, we finished 3 points clear.

Turner took us backwards. Fact.

Part wrong , part wrong, part right.....Turner took over in February 1999 we were actually 11 points clear of bottom place(the only relegation spot then) , we finished 2 points clear of bottom, so the part you got right is we went backwards for the last 14/15 games he was in charge that season.

Any chance of laying the 'corpse' of Turner to rest instead of digging up the remains to ask questions that will never be answered. Put a headstone on it and move on. I have.

That was the point I was making. He was allowed to splash cash virtually like no other Pools manager previous to him.

Anyway PJ, youre hardly one to talk about posting horseshit, you do that often enough on our board :wink:

After 32 games when the numpty took over we had 33 points, Scarboro had 27

After 46 games we had 51 points, Scarboro had 48

I look forward to my pint :coool:
