Interim update from the interim board

Is it too much to expect as much from the club? Not only for us fickle (in Raj's eyes) fans but also the other stakeholders ie sponsors, suppliers, ground staff, Hartlepool Council etc etc. lf the interim board are playing mind games then it really is beneath contempt.

Perhaps they are just doing nothing.

I'd be surprised if most of those stakeholders haven't been in contact with the club and actually know more than we do, but it does show a degree of contempt when he's threatened the very existence of the club (again) and mentioned prospective buyers but given nothing since.

Nothing to report, no news is good news.

no news is better than telling us what we just want to hear called bullshit. one of my ma,s biggest sayings was if you have nothing to say keep quiet.

Stakeholders? That's so 2024.

The current bullshit phrase for an assortment of dodgy business cronies is "strategic partners"...

Raj really has got an opportunity to leave a positive legacy. Whatever has gone on with all the F-k Raj and Raj Out memes, and all the mud slinging, it's crunch time and he does now seem more serious about leaving.
We're in no position to be picky about the new owners but if the right decision is made for the club as well as Raj's pocket, fans will be much more sanguine about his spell as the custodian. Worry is, he will take the biggest offer without really bothering too much about intentions. That was always the risk but in my opinion a change was needed - we can only hope for people who have the town at heart.

Think you'll find the Interim 'board' is a reference to the 8ft sheet of MDF Board that the Rajanator purchased from Wickes which now adorns a cardboard cutout of the nominated dream team. (Mr Burns front and centre surrounded by the rest of the Simpsons)

Had to be the 8ft board to allow him enough space to hide his ego behind- (according to my sauce) bbolt

It's progress for me to even reach 2024s terminology but I'm not sure everyone who potentially stands to lose out can be classed as dodgy?

There is more than enough bullshiit emanating from this board without the use of 'current phrases' - I never do 'trrendy' anyway.
