If we sack him, who takes charge for remaining games? 4 managers in 1 season, were not exactly going to be flooded with applications are we given our current situation.

John Hughes is beginning to look good isn't he.

But it's small things which make such a big difference. I reckon if Bingham was still here with a fit Woods and Fenwick we'd probably be at least six points better off now and right in the mix.

The fact the players will be put up in plush hotels the night before, travel in luxury. I'd put them on a mini bus next week n check into a bed and breakfast. Then say until you get a win this is your away days.

If he is sacked I will wash my hands of Pools, he is the best manager we have had here since Wilson. And given free reign next year will prove successful I am sure.

Ronnie knows the quality of player at his disposal as was discussed with the mic's off with reporters after a recent defeat.

As for the quality of players, a fair number of the squad yesterday were players he has signed. He's brought Morgan in on decent money, and barely played him.


He's not worth playing. Ronnie's probably realised what a mistake it was to even bring him here in the first place.

It's hard to say he's a great manager when the results don't back it up, I totally agree... but for the team we've got, the position we were in when he came along and the resources available to him, I don't think even Sir Alex could have done a much better job.

Time is what's needed to build a team, it's just time is the only thing that we don't have!

Well, time is not the only thing we don't have, by a long way, but you get the picture.

Fair enough his hands might be tied in terms of resources available. But his hands are not tied on match day when it comes to strange starting line ups, old fashioned tactics and bizarre substitutions. I do like Ronnie Moore and want him to succeed. If somehow he keeps us up then he'll be a Hartlepool hero.
