I am in no way a RAJ man, I despise the man.

However an investor(s) has paid a deposit to get RAJ to open the books so that they can complete Due Diligence, and then they have failed to make the agreed payments that must have been agreed when making the deal.
So they have either found something that is worrying or they don't want to invest (or possibly don't have the necessary funds), only they will know.
If RAJ is willing to put his money in to keep Hartlepool United going until something can be agreed, then unfortunately that looks like the only option available,as horrible as it is to accept. We may have had offers before from Hollywood actors, we may have had multiple people 'interested' but they all seem to have walked away.... so we are stuck at the Steetley 'Sh@tpipe' without a paddle

Who really want us to potentially drop down to level 10 without any investment at all, making us less attractive to potential buyers? We have all had to do things we don't like either in life or work and to me this seems the only alternative.

Also, remember RAJ is a businessman and as such I am sure he wouldn't want to walk away from a deal that could potentially get him a payout, for a diminishing dividend each year (due to lack of supporters attending).
In an ideal world the potential investor would tell us what they have found in there due diligence, if that is the case but they have no duty to due that.

Who knows what ‘funds’ Raj has asked to see ?
Maybe it’s a very large amount and if they show that he then jacks the price up ?
All speculation but this seemingly one sided nda doesn’t sit well with me

And this pathetic statement from ‘the club’ those on the board especially the supposed fans rep should be ashamed of themselves, if they truly believe that statement then put your names to it.

There is another option but you don’t seem to have the bottle for it.
Keep Raj and you’ll be in the same situation in a few months.
Don’t forget he walked away from Darlo and lost money it seems, so why would he think twice about walking away from Hartlepool?

Correct but there's too big a divide in the fanbase to rally behind the trust and get that sorted, we'd end up with 5 different Hartlepool AFCs starting at the same level. There is a credible buyer, who is willing to do a deal and has had an offer accepted but Raj doesn't seem to want them to compete due dilligence for some reason...

Loan-Star - Bottle has nothing to do with it Im afraid (In my opinion of course), you may think otherwise
I just don't want Hartlepool to go to the wall, still with no guarantee of investment!

Better to float in sh@te, with hope than to drown in it!

What’s to hide, are the accounts not upto date, they are available for everyone one to view on the Gov. U.K. website under Clarence 18 ?

They're not current though are they and are the basics. Due diligence will be on the current books with up to date full info, including a breakdown on all income, costs and wages, as a total and for individuals.
Companies house only has up to July/August 2023.

Again your desperation to somehow blame the fans with talk of 'bottle' and 'I told you so's' is a little juvenile....I want rid of Raj as (without speaking for everyone) i think most do.
Even if he wins this concocted vote, attendances and general participation will be way down next year as we circle the drain--there is little fans can do about that--the fact Raj is going on the way he is is because the majority have made their feelings clear already !

I get all this darlo told you so,s we are not daft we knew probobly from day one this day would come. We had no choice at the time, in hindsight we have probobly wasted 7 years or so, but 90 percent of the fan base aren't daft we wanted rid years ago, unfortunately he doesn't seem to want to go. Let's face it when he leaves, no one will give 2 fucks about him, but he obviously loves the fact he owns a football club and holds people to random.

One things for certain their will be no going back now, fans won't fall for this bullshit and longer. I'm sure feeling will be more than vented towards him during next season.

Sorry to disect but trying to understand.
"then then they have failed to make the agreed payments that must have been agreed when making the deal" Thats what he is saying without showing proof, Do you believe him, I do not.

"If RAJ is willing to put his money in to keep Hartlepool United going until something can be agreed" Thats not what the statement says, If it did i think most would agree.

"Also, remember RAJ is a businessman and as such I am sure he wouldn't want to walk away from a deal that could potentially get him a payout" He walked from Darlo, Loseing money.

"In an ideal world the potential investor would tell us what they have found in there due diligence" Same goes for Raj.

Darlo fans and this guy in particular have some weird obsession to want to say 'I told you so' as though we had realistic options other than Raj 7 years back.

Raj does deserve credit for the first 3 years just as he deserves scorn for what came after---his time is up and we have to move on, if we get Hammond and have difficulties with her late it doesnt mean we made the wrong choice picking her given other options we have currently available.

If the outcome is that Hartlepool United FC 1908 dies then history must record that it was killed by R. Singh esq shutting off the life support. NOT by a small section of its loyal fanbase refusing to back him in this time of madness instigated by R Singh himself.

You wouldn't be in business long if your strategy for global dominance was based on accounts and tax returns published on Companies House.

I wouldn't say we have wasted the years either (not all of them anyway)--said no to Raj and we wouldn't have gotten Bristol, Palace game, LDV semi etc...

Not sure where you think I’ve said “I told you so” because I haven’t. My remark about having the bottle was in direct reply to the OP who seems to prefer kicking the can down the road again rather than biting the bullet. I am well aware some of you want to start again whereas plenty dont seem to want to, either through hope or lack of bottle.

Its a bizarre statement--I dont think bottle has anything to do with it--I know people who are in their 70s and 80s, starting again for them often means never seeing the club beyond regional football again in their lives---if they wanted to stick with Raj I would disagree but wouldnt accuse them of 'bottling it'

F*cking ridiculous statement, I'll bet every Darlo fan that's ever lived would rather they hadn't gone bust and had to start again. Nothing to do with bottle.

You’d be surprised. At least we are no longer living on the whims of an egotist. Best thing we ever did taking control ourselves. If only we had a ground like Feethams instead of the elephant we would be in the same league as you now.

So do you actually know anyone who is pleased you went bust?
You actually owned your ground and had a bigger fan base than us and now you're saying going bust was a good thing, you're off your trolley mate.

F*cking ridiculous statement, I'll bet every Darlo fan that's ever lived would rather they hadn't gone bust and had to start again. Nothing to do with bottle.


You’d be surprised. At least we are no longer living on the whims of an egotist. Best thing we ever did taking control ourselves. If only we had a ground like Feethams instead of the elephant we would be in the same league as you now.



If your auntie had a willy etc, etc.

The key is the ground--Darlo are in a pretty dire situation at the moment--a fan base hovering barely above 1k, no ground of their own or realistic prospect of getting one beyond some bloke doing a few sketches, and the promotion pyramid being such that there will always be a few relatively big budget clubs taking the slots

the fact they are cowering about the finanicial strength of Kidderminster and Macclesfield next year is truly depressing---if they ever get a ground it may change but right now they are swimming desperately to avoid drowning and their support only shrinking.

We would be likely in a better place with our own ground but in a similar spot if we lost that.

Our average attendance over the last few years has hardly shifted from around 1500, bearing in mind away followings in our league in general are shite, Spenny can only muster a couple of hundred!
As for the ground, don’t be surprised if there’s news regarding that in the near future. I know quite a lot regarding the plans and it’s almost over the line. It’s the closest we have been to having a proper sized ground since we had Feethams.

The fact spennymoor are now your benchmark sums it up, hopefully you get the new ground as you are dead without it, get it and expect your attendance will double at least and if your historical support hasn’t completely atrophied you may have a shout of doing something though that’s a long way off…

Your were on the ball yesterday Snowy, lost count off the number of my topics you replied too.
I think it’s down to boredom, you have nothing to do since she who must be obeyed ordered you to dismantle your den.
To sum up you are the dog and I am the bone and you can’t stop chewing me, water off a ducks back, it’s laughable your obsession with me, it’s called trolling.

Obsession… :angry-tappingfoot: no…. house training you…the RSPCH have asked me to mentor you …..and as with all house training it’s repetition, repetition , repetition….especially with the fools of the litter ….but we get there in the end…and the RSPCH (Royal Society for Piss taking of Consistent Halfwits) know what they’re talking about.

Where else are they going to look, all the expenditures and incomes will be contained in the year end accounts,what is there to look for ?



You are missing the whole point of due diligence Ms J1952. The point of d/d is, after access has been granted, one has access to everything - right up to date, not historic guff which has been subject to restricted public display - unless items are specifically excluded or, as is sometimes the case, hidden. One approach to d/d by a vendor is to actually overburden the d/d team by giving so much, without being organised, that 'things' may be missed, given that d/d is usually undertaken in a short timescale. So, you are way off here - as Lord Snowy has pointed out.

And it makes one wonder what has happened. D/D has been ongoing - have things been found which have resulted in price or warranty discussions? Have obstacles been put in the way of the d/d team? Do deals fail due to d/d - yes, but more often terms are renegotiated - has Raj refused to compromise? Is he refusing to sign warranties? And whatever has happened we will probably not find out as the d/d process is usually bound be NDAs.

the worst thing about the affair is having to take an interest in the murky world of finance and big business thats less of an interest normally than anne widdecombes one woman strip show. oh for something really interesting at the end of the season like talking about the retained list and our incoming stars. things will eventually turn out either good or bad for us but its quicker the better for me when it does.

As Gateshead are now your benchmark?
The problem with the current ground is you can get 3200 in there but the view for half of them is shit, otherwise the floating fans would come more regularly. I would think that should we get the new ground attendances would be 2-2500 unless we are doing well where I would hope we would get back to the 3500 upwards we used to get when doing well.

for both our sakes quicker the ghost of reynolds leaves darlo the better and the ghost of singh never hangs over us. he killed darlo as we knew it and chapter two could be raj singh doing the same to pools.

So do you actually know anyone who is pleased you went bust?
You actually owned your ground and had a bigger fan base than us and now you're saying going bust was a good thing, you're off your trolley mate.


They didn't own their own ground. That was the issue.

One thing is for sure, we have both had our fair share of dodgy chairmen over the years! Hopefully both clubs will get back to where they need to be and get them derbies back on the fixture list!

Jamie have you actually read the accou ts for the club on Companies House? There is absolutely no detail to them, whereas the due diligence process allows access to everything from the cost price of the matchday lottery tickets to the Chairman's expenses.
It's like the difference between the taxman accepting a Company Tax Return without scrutiny and going through the books with a fine tooth comb and the business having to show receipts for everything from machinery to tea bags.

He’s in a maximum security twilight home in Thornaby and thinks he’s in Thailand.
All his fellow guests think they’re Napoleon or God etc but he think’s he’s an accountant. :roll:
