aii seems that way doesnt it -

weird one

staying around until his successor is found and also helping with the matter - seems he has walked on his own ?
job too big ? salary too small ? getting found out to be utter shite at your job.. priceless

He has a contract so rather than pay him up they are making him work his notice.

He makes out that hes done a brilliant job.
What happened to his promise of stella/marquee signings.
Wont be missed.

If he’s as good as the blurb says he is, why’s he leaving in the first place ….
I reckon once you’ve decided he’s going, get shot of him as quickly as possible, as for staying on and helping in the selection of his replacement, that’s bollocks….actually it’s absolute bollocks.

like the bloke before him he will be forgotton as quickly as he came and by next season i doubt anyone will recognise him if he past them in the street.

He will have a contract till March, unless Singh decides to pay it up he won’t leave, Singh has already paid compo to Hartley, Young, Lee and Nelson so won’t want to pay anymore out.

whole club atm stinks like a Kipper -

COO is leaving
long term club sec left
Physio left
kit man - supposedly sacked
scouting - Trotter supposedly wanting out too !

managers - well say no more !

Chief Execs / board member what ever you want to call him - being publicly slated then stepping down.

Hobin will probably come back in after xmas - pack up his desk (if he had one)... then wont be seen until maybe the new guy gets announced and will be in to do some media duties and show him where the cups are and how to use the fax machine !

In the Mail that since Promotion to the EFL Pools have got rid of over 40 players. Then theres the plenty of non playing staff.
Ye the club stinks worse than kippers. Maybe a few blocked drains but plumbers are expensive nowadays.
We at the stage now were we gunna celebrate 22nd as if weve won the World Cup.
Then What?

Supporting Pools at times is like finding your missus in bed with your best mate, but then taking her back and having a pint with him the next week ! ... i truely still dont understand how we have went from one of the best times in Pools' recent history and having a stadium packed out weekly - to being bottom of the league and sacking managers left right and center ! plus ending up with a playing squad that would struggle in the NLN ! Should we stay where we are in the league and just paddle up shits creek with our hands tied behind our backs, which by the looks maybe a reality... then yeh whats next... do we start again do we repeat the summer of 22 albeit with the same manager thankfully.
we technically have to scrap what we have and somehow put together another team - look how its working out for the teams that did that this year and the year before - Us / Gillingham / Crawley / Colchester all suffering because of this very thing. (plus other things of course).

and to top it off ... it looks like either Wrexham or Notts County with very very good teams are going to be coming up - so should we not get our act together again - it could definitely be curtains!

The difference is DC and then no DC.

yeh thats a fundamental part - but... hes not the messiah - there surely is other managers and staff out there whom would have the same effect and impact .... obviously its Raj and Bevos fault employing Spike - it killed just about every bit of momentum we had !

we should learn from these lessons and hopefully should we still be in the league come May - this new COO needs to come in and actually deliver and help the club - as well as Raj spending in the summer on the right playing staff

my main worry is the scrap word. not many of the present squad know the meaning of the word and we need those to come in that really do and might actually get the rest on board. you do not need to spend a fortune in this league as i doubt stevenage have to get near the top. its having the right people in charge signing the right players and not gambling with new ideas the club cannot afford. if pools do survive as a league club this season we need a side going into next season that others dread playing against and not seen as some nice lads who are a soft touch.

What has this guy actually achieved at Pools? I'm not seeing anything we have gone backwards rapidly as a club.

How raj Singh has managed to make such a mess since promotion takes some bloody doing. A scrappy away win won't cover any cracks, he needs to start spending money on the team. No more excuses. If he doesn't want too get the club up for sale.

if raj wants to stay on he needs to do everything possible in january. even if he wants to sell the club he,d get a better offer for a struggling league club than one thats been allowed to drop into non league. it would be like trying to sell a car for the best price by throwing a bit of money at it before you advertise it for sale to up the offers.

I suspect too much money has been spent on non team backroom staff and what do we have to show for it.

But why has Singh allowed this to occur, he has his own successful business, how was this allowed to happen under his watch ?

Unless you can find a whistleblower who is au fait with the facts, your only recourse is to approach the man himself.

Pools are the least priority of his successful businesses as the league table shows.
Cant imagine hes input any of his own cash into Pools since Promotion.
Club financed by Fans Sponsors n Cup Runs and TV moneys.
Then theres the bullshit of top/promotion budget to sell STs at the highest prices since the league One play off seasons.

But why would he want to leave when weve averaged gates of 5200 last season n amazingly 4500 this season.
I just dont buy the shit that hes here to right the wrong of the Darlo fiasco.

Any ambitious posters / fans will know its time for change at the top.

Managers like that are rare, thats the problem. The ones who can do wonders with a bang average budget. If they've done it at our level then they'll be in demand. If they haven’t then they're a gamble. What's the chances of us getting another one?.. not impossible but difficult. Especially if we can't even lure managers away from the National League.

I was less than impressed by Lee’s appointment and suspect the momentum of the Cup runs blinded people to the reality, because once we were out of the Cup in clear blue water, the whole lot crumbled to dust.

The righting the wrongs stuff is bollox in my humble opinion, I just don’t see it.
But I am getting to the point where if we don’t see meaningful investment in January, it’s bye, bye, because there’s no future for him here presiding over failure.
Again, it begs the question though, who’d take over.

Someone who realizes with correct buisness sense and managerial/staff appointments. They halfway to success just by walking thru the door wirh our brilliant n fanatical fanbase.
The foundations are certainly there if we can stay in the EFL.
Like u say Snowy it begs the question.
But at this moment in time our fans are slowly but surely are falling out with the way this current chairman is running the ship.

like 100,s before him with a succesful business they cock up running football clubs. they have had years of business knowledge behind them in their own field but little of their new task they took on. some interfere too much with team affairs which does not help though.

think most of us could have took over from DC and have done no worse. momentum and teams picking thereselves was easy till the wheels came off and they had nothing to play for. then it showed up their lack of managerial know how to change things around and motavate em all.

Kev, I always think running a football club is a labour of love, yet every businessman thinks they can walk into a club and make it work where thousands have failed.

The Legend Harold Hornsey saved the club then used his buisness skills and football brain to stabilize the club.
Then pass it on to new owners like at Wrexham now in a deal that suited himself n IOR but mainly a deal which suited what was best for HUFC.
A true poolie legend who will always live in the hearts of the older generation of poolies.
Its always about whats best for HUFC.
