Club Secretary Post:

1st sentence.
" In an exciting and transitional phase for Hartlepool United Football Club "

Is it just me or does that sound like a major change is on the way.

“Transitional phase” is interesting.

Referring to Simon Grayson’s appointment, or a wider issue such as ongoing sale of the football club?

Transitional: marked by transition, involving, providing, or consisting of a passage, movement, or change from one state, condition, subject, place, etc., to another.

Unless the Club Secretary has no grasp of the English language this really shouldn't mean Raj picking up the reins again after (allegedly) letting them go for a few weeks. Nothing 'exciting' about that!

The vacancy for a media officer is no surprise - the last one vanished straight after the last game of the season. Seems to have been a night of the long knives like the Covid lockdown all over again.

The Media role under Raj was always advertised as an internship, usually unpaid, for people doing media degrees to get experience on their CV before they graduate. It only changed to a full-time paid role when we got back into the league. The fact that this is now full time and salaried is more of an indication that something has changed.

The last media officer was a full-time employee and received a salary.
