Rumour mill

Renamed in memory of John Hawksworth, a stalwart member who passed this day 2nd August 2020. RIP Mr Monkeybutt.

Sadly we must add the name of Kevin Minton, Aka Mr Ripper who passed 30/6/22. Kev was also Mr politically incorrect but a nicer lad you could never meet.

Weren't we rumoured to be interested in him last season or the season before ? Pretty sure his name was mentioned.

One of these X scouts says pools are after Nick Haughton along with a couple other sides. Could definitely do with some of his goals from midfield but can't see us paying a fee really.

Would be very happy to sign him- though think that's a little fanciful that we could compete against massive clubs like York, Carlisle and Rochdale. More than likely be the latter two, if he's leaving Fylde

We might have a chance- depends if he wants to test himself in the EFL, though would he be guaranteed a start, or just a squad player?

You'd hope.given the choice of us and FGR, he would choose the Poolie Carnivores, over Linda McCartney's mob! bbolt

I'd bet a few quid he'll be off to Oldham. They'll pay him what he wants and he'd have FL football and probably wouldn't need to move house.

He's from Manchester as well, depends if we offer him more game time I suppose.

really doubt we could match the wages he was on at fylde. he was the big fish in there little pond for years and i,d guess he was on a good screw there with the years he played for them.

How about Jonny Howson for a season. Versatile.

I was thinking the same when I heard he'd been released, good solid pro who belies his years, would improve our midfield definitely. Worshipped at Boro.

That would be a major statement of intent.
I'd even come out of boycott mode if that happened. :lol:

But no chance Radio Tees reckon he's got some youth academy job at Leeds lined up.

Kevin- you turncoat! refred

On Howson- he could still take the Leeds job and play for Pools- just a reverse of what Gary Liddle is doing at Whitby?

very few players drop down to non league anymore when they have had a top league career. cannot blame em unless they really need the money to be made a mug of by some nonentity at eastleigh or brackley.
