First signing sweepstake ?

I’ll go 15th June

Followed by a couple more on first week of training (along with 2-3 trialists) couple more a week before season starts….along with an article reminding everyone we still have time/the transfer window doesn’t apply, plus we haven’t sold Mani D yet which is like a new signing etc…

Followed by a couple of loan signings in August and a ‘judge us in October’ sort of message from Saarl as the signings ‘bed in’

November brings assurance we are going to ‘hit the ground running in January’ as the window for league clubs opens up…oh and half season tickets are available for 3 quid off so don’t miss out…

11th of June. Somebody from the south with an unpronounceable name who has kicked around the National League South. Oh, and Steve Howard decides its time.

At least Pools will save on a pre season tour, they don’t have a team to take.

Surely we must have at least one signed up player by tomorrow

Or am I being over ambitious once again

Am I expecting a miracle that can't possibly happen at little Artlepool. banghead

It takes time to negotiate for Salah n Kane.

Proper fans like the new arrivals to come in late.
Then worship Sing even if they shit whilst having snidy digs at the doubters.

Oh it sounds so familiar since DC sore the light.

Yeah the later you get your players in pre season the better, thats when you get all the quality, all the other teams obviously just sign the garbage up until then. Must be a contract for any Hartlepool manager to not have his team ready for pre season, so we can go down that well tried and tested route of bringing in some boro loans.

Probably announced in the middle of the night by the same (very clever person who announced the PPanel during the CLgeFinal)
Like being back at school.

Makes me wonder what Mani D's agent will be thinking about the lack of ambition being shown by his player's current club. Bad enough that Halifax made the play-offs last season and Pools didn't.

Probably working overtime to get himself n Manny decent pay rises.
Well he's certainly put himself in the Shop Window stretching the onion bag 25 times last season.

Spot on Gray

That's the level we are at now unfortunately. Zero respect from the club just keep spending your hard earned cash on silly dreams.

Perhaps someone is looking at the books and has asked that there are no signings till they have reviewed same . Just a thought

As long as it's not HMRC or the Fraud Squad doing the looking.

If it's the Fraud Squad they'll have to conduct 4,000 interviews bbolt

Forgot about that and the agents. I dread to think what we are going to end up with this year. Considering the likes of boro sunderland and newcastle dont normally like sending their better youngsters to us. More worrying no mention of mancini coming back to us either yet.

Someone in the know on here said he fully recovered from his 1st injury and his 2nd injury wasn't as bad.
Hope I'm wrong but sounds like Luke Williams 2.
Should get a ruff idea in the pre season games.
Did Accy dodge a bullet!
