That’s a lot of words to tell us fuck all.

It looks like a desperate plea more than a statement.

Perhaps talks wouldn't have broke down with the previous potential investors had there been full access to what was owed and to whom.

If someone with a lot of money is mentioning a black hole then you know something's wrong!

That smacks of desperation. We could well be days away from the end.

It’s shockingly written as well, it’s like an incoherent ramble.

Really does reek of desperation. As has been said how on earth can they expect anyone to invest in something when they cannot see a clear picture of the level of funding required.

The likelihood of a number of separate investors coming forward to join together would be highly unlikely given that all would need to do their due diligence and I’d be amazed if all were happy and able to agree the way forward.

'What is clear is that if timescales were permitting there is little doubt that an iconic Club such as Hartlepool United FC would have little difficulty attracting a new equity owner'

I'm just waiting for someone on Facebook to tell us how much the club need the just giving money handing over now...

Well why wait until the last minute to put it up for sale then.

Asset Stripping.

What a load of bullshit

"With this in mind therefore we would urge anyone that is thinking along these lines that they should contact the solicitor with their appetite for equity investment and proof of funds for that level. "

This isn't fucking dragons den.

Can’t get over how badly written it is. Year 8 school level that

lol probably rang up the mascot for next home game and told him his services were no longer required but he could write the last club statement instead.

Interesting the final sentence that the solicitors are very clearly acting for Sage

I saw the statement on Facebook, I dont know if it's on any other media sites. Surely if you are a company wishing to attract investors or sell the business to the value that is required in our case this is not the way to do it. There must be other more formal methods. Considering the time that has elapsed since the original statement explaining the club was for sale and interested parties walking away this is quite bizarre.
For me it's a coded message saying 'that's all folks - we're fooked'.

"the Club understands that there has been significant interest to date"

Yep, whoever "the club" are, they are not they are not the solicitor's client. Maybe the tea lady at Sage knows what's going on.

Two sugars please Pam.

The milk cow has squirted it's last pint, there's nowt left, the teet is dry, so it's time to ship it off the the abattoir for burgers.

" There have been several expressions of interest of some people willing to join together as part of a consortium, but may not have known others to join in with. With this in mind therefore we would urge anyone that is thinking along these lines that they should contact the solicitor with their appetite for equity investment and proof of funds for that level. "

Can someone translate that into English for me ? An 8 year old would probably be embarrassed to have their name put to that. Utterly shocking.

To summarise:

We’ve given it our best shot, but it looks like you’re all going to hell in a hand basket and we’ve invest enough of our time in this now, so we wish you well, but it looks like you’re meandering down shit creek and we don’t really want to lend you a paddle anymore...

the more i listen to aunty pam speak.... and the more i read her written word..... the more i think.... this is a person pretending to be something shes not.... and with something to hide

Amateurs

"What is clear is that if timescales were permitting there is little doubt that an iconic Club such as Hartlepool United FC would have little difficulty attracting a new equity owner, who is looking to invest in and engage in owning a football club for the long term".

ANY CHANCE YOU COULD RAISE ANOTHER 200K TO GET US THROUGH ANOTHER MONTH PLEASE ( OR RATHER HELP SAGE RECOUP SOME OF THEIR LOSSES)

more coin in the bucket please

Nah it’s beyond they will take what they can and run very soon. It’s probably been the plan since the summer take what they can until the season ticket and parachute payment ran out if they could have found a buyer then bonus. It would explain totally them having no regard for the finances, book keeping or paying of basic utility bills. We have had our pants pulled down.

Its all very tragic but sadly very predictable.

They’ll probably fuck it off tomorrow, nothing more to be leeched once the window is shut.

Absolute clowns. Where are the inbestigations by the law?

Trust me, i tried but was not supported.

How much was Coxalls actual loan from this lot? The one that’s going to put us out of business that is, does anyone know?

That’s a shame, presumably it is still a possibility in the future albeit when it’s far too late.

I think the trust + investor should make them a solid offer to take over with all debts wiped(including "legacy debts") in exchange for fuck all. Absolutely none negotiable as the club in its current state isn't even worth that.

They will be waiting for the justfundme cash so they can afford a shredder then adiós.

Utter bollocks, why bother making a statement that adds up to the square root of fuck all, it's as if they're hoping that someone with the mental capability of a brain damaged amoeba has a quick look at the website and suddenly thinks that buying a football club would be a cracking idea, what next, putting the club on EBay, might not actually be a bad idea following the storming success with the pint glasses a while back.

listening to eddie kyle on tees sport tonight...pretty damming comments about the statement and the rest of it

It will free Saturdays up to crack on with setting up White Lightning and Greggs Hartlepool FC.

doesn’t Mark Simpson usually write these? That doesn’t read like his work.

Hope we not sold him aswell.

No way has Mark written that. He’d be appalled if people thought he did. Still not over how atrocious the wording is. It’s almost as if it was written in haste with the getaway driver becoming increasingly impatient out front ‘get a fucking move on Paul would ya’

Time to cancel poolsworld before they wipe my card.

Thats a good point everyone should cancel Pools world if they have it, the less money wasted the better. Nowt worth watching on it anyway.

First thing I thought was there trying to tempt us in to raising more money for them.

Mr PJ is correct. Says fuck all.

It's funny really, I am resigned to the fact that we're a dead man walking but it's still fucking painful.

I genuinely always thought we'd have THIS club. It's always been the thing to fall back on. Something to look forward to on a Saturday when you've had a fucking shit week.

It's like splitting up with your first love after finding out she's been knobbing someone else behind your back but also right in front of you.

Sorry if that's a fucking shit analogy Mr snowy, best I can do.

my guess would be currently pools offices resemble the state of the american embassy in saigon just before the last US marine helicopter left...piles of shredded shit everywhere and computers smashed with their drives removed

Wonder if anyone gets left behind

Depends on whether they can be sold...

Nick Loughlin and Roy kelly will be stood there scratching their heads like Laurel and Hardy

Picture the scene..... the administrator is almost at the gate when two figures rush out of the back door to make an emergency getaway.... sadly due to financial restraint, this is no Helicopter from the roof job, the only vehicle left on the car park is Billy Horner's Blue Datsun... the fleeing figures climb in, the driver turns the key.... and turns it.... and turns it..... the administrator is about to turn into the car park, finally it catches, and burns away in a cloud of blue smoke.... the administrator shakes a fist and shouts, "Come back you swines, that's club property and the most valuable asset left!"

Enough of this shit.. JUST START AGAIN

It would be so funny if it werent about to come true

To quote Steely Dan:
"Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail
Those test tubes and the scales
Just get 'em all out of here
Is there gas in the car?
Yes there's gas in the car
I think the people down the hall
know who you are"

Eddie Kyle called it spot on tonight, so has Compo. It's a scam.

on a boat ...
