Unusually forward looking for Raj. Signs of a new approach?

Didn’t Challinor sign a new contract before he departed to Stockport, being the ever pessimist there will be a clause in it if Askey is approached he can speak with who ever. The only thing a contract guarantees is that Pools would get compo if he left.

yes, it means sod all and i,d be surprised if JA was still with us in 3 years time to renue his contract again. if so he,ll be one of the longest serving managers at a club no matter which league we are in at the time.

Maybe we don't need a new owner, just a new Raj.

I don’t think we were ever going to get a new owner. I suspect he has a point to prove, which is no bad thing.

Mr Jamie is it true some of your ancestors snapped up last minute tickets for the maiden cruise of the Titanic and made a pier head jump just in time to get on board….?

I am being realistic Snowy, in football contracts mean nought wether a manager or a player, they are signed to be broken. The benefit of giving Askey a long term contract is if any club makes an approach they will need to pay Pools compo.

Think Askey wears his heart on his sleeve.

Think the Sylla fiasco tells all we need to know about Askey and contracts.

Mr Jamie-

What you have to accept is that at our level managers don't tend to last more than a couple of seasons- if they do well they get poached, like Challinor and Turner the first time, and if they're shite they get axed.

It was really disappointing the manner in which Challinor left- after signing a contract only weeks earlier but at least we were then able to command some compensation.

Raj by his own admission has made mistakes, and we all know what's gone on and don't need to keep raking through the embers of last season's circus.

Raj has had a good week, this week and credit where it's due- firstly managed to rinse a few quid out of Dundee for Cilla - and our most important signing, that of the manager on a longer contract. Everyone now knows where we stand and we now move on 'Together United!'

Also suggests that Askey is more than happy to stay and attempt to wake up the sleepiest of giants! rolf rolf

If Raj keeps having good weeks then there's good times ahead. Just let Askey sign the few more players he wants and who knows what what we could achieve? There's still time.

There's all season in the NL, but a couple more now would be ace.

As I recall, Challinor signed his contract only after weeks of arm wrestling and it was evident he was not exactly over the moon with the offer he had been given so in many ways it was no surprise he left. JA on the other hand has signed without any hassle which suggests he is happy with the deal. I hope I dont get proved wrong in the next few weeks.

Also suggests that Askey is more than happy to stay and attempt to wake up the sleepiest of giants! rolf rolf

I think the other thing that works in our favour, with JA, is how piss poorly he was treated by the hierarchy at York. He'll want a bit of stability too, and he has said himself how surprised he was by the level of support we Poolies gave him, despite falling through the trapdoor.

I'm not on Social media so don't see any of the stuff on Facebook - and maybe got my rose tinted glasses on, but I don't recall anybody giving him any harsh stick or attaching any blame to him individually. He actually gave us a fighting chance, when we'd previously had NO fight and NO chance of stopping up.

He'll also be aware of how Challinor departed, and I reckon he'd want to avoid a similar exit.

Let's achieve something first, before we start looking for issues, where there are currently none.

Great day for JA today, Signs new contract, Home win and gone Top of the league- long may it continue!

In Askey We Trust rolf

Askeys still got a long way to go before he can be compared to Legend Challinor but he has done a lot in a short time and is very personable . 100% confidence from me

askeys problems may yet to come. so far he has done excellently in the transfer market but longer he is with us he,ll bound to make mistakes in it like challinor did with players coming on loan and a few permanent ones.

It would appear Sweeney is Askeys apprentice, they work well together, I am puzzled why no higher league club picked up on Askeys management talent before now ?

you would think so, but does he make a better fit with clubs like us, macclesfield or york. his teams play positive football but he is hardly a big name in the game where clubs seem to prefer giving jobs to those with household names but are career failures.

I think there is a number of people reading in to things too much. Just enjoy the moments. Askey is a successful manager at this level and we have him. Raj learned from his mistakes and give him a long contract. we are top of the league and are playing attractive football and we all have smiles on our faces. So accentuate the positive. It doesn’t matter that Askey has had some failings. I would be amazed if he hadn’t. The guy is human and doing the best for us. Think someone should be composing an Askey anthem. Any volunteers?

Suspect Askey is perfectly at home with players at the lower end of the professional ladder who are good honest pros but he struggles with the fancy Dan types. That is not a criticism: he expects effort and commitment and some players (like Sylla) only give that on their terms, not giving a toss about the team as a whole and Askey wont tolerate that. I doubt if Askey would would be successful in " a dressing room full of millionaires" to quote Alan Ball. So maybe that is why clubs at a higher level than Port Vale have not shown an interest. In many ways he is perfect fit for a club like Pools. And yes, I realize he is only human and their will be losses but I reckon most of us will be prepared to cut him some slack when that happens.

think thats the reason given why premier league clubs look abroad for managers rather than giving the ones that have proven success in the lower divisions a chance. somehow i could never see a don revie or even a cloughie around in todays premier league even though it would have been magic hearing cloughies reply to todays pundits and the crap going on in todays football world at the top. Would also like to see steve evans and his gobby assistant coming up to pep at man.city.

I think Sean Dyche could be on his way very soon if Everton don’t start picking points up, they don’t want to be relegated more so as they are building a new stadium.

I was surprised when Everton gave him the job but I won't be surprised if he loses it.
Everton look likely candidates for the "lost souls club"

Well now some of them are actually saying they don’t consider themselves English anymore, so we have no option but to cut them adrift. Halfway between Dublin and Holyhead would be a good place to drop anchor. :laugh:

never had this love of scoucers as some seem to have but can understand why they do not feel english. there must be so many of them with irish blood in their veins and blood from other nations flowing more heavily than most of us have in recent years. its like pakistani cricket fans supporting pakistan when they tour even if they have never visited that country but their parents or more likely grandparents were born there. being born anywhere is a bit of an accident, your ancestors are not.

Well now some of them are actually saying they don’t consider themselves English anymore, so we have no option but to cut them adrift. Halfway between Dublin and Holyhead would be a good place to drop anchor. :laugh:

never had this love of scoucers as some seem to have but can understand why they do not feel english. there must be so many of them with irish blood in their veins and blood from other nations flowing more heavily than most of us have in recent years. its like pakistani cricket fans supporting pakistan when they tour even if they have never visited that country but their parents or more likely grandparents were born there. being born anywhere is a bit of an accident, your ancestors are not.


Just how far back do you go with this ancestral heritage…going back searching my family tree they were nearly all born in the town by the mid 1800’s apart from some great grandparents from Great Yarmouth who’d moved here and was a ship’s Captain….. my DNA also says as well as my English DNA I’ve got some Danish, Scottish and Irish roots but do I feel it, no of course not so why some people cling to tenuous roots like a life jacket puzzles me.

To be fair, every manager’s saying it, the media’s saying it, so if it’s playing the blame game, they’re all it.

think a lot do this family search because they want to feel different to the rest and jump on something like having danish in their blood to make em danish and not english. for me its just grandparents and other names i have heard spoken about and no interest whatsoever who came before that. My lad and his new polish girld friend did that DNA thing and he found he had more polish DNA than she has but still feels english as she does polish.

Any responsible organisation would have played the games on Tuesday at the earliest.
Asking players to play an extra 10 mins or so each game takes its toll.

Last time we were in this league - I heard Pools got 8k for the televised game. This was revealed on the end of one of the commentaries when the mics should have been turned off- classic Chandy!

So would expect we would have got about 10k for the Fylde game.

The ‘blame game’ appears to be coming from some fans, not Askey
