Who are they?

Behave

Think the first one, was once a young man from Dundalk, who’s bollix touched the floor when he’d walk.

In all honesty winners I hope.

Skelton's sister is TV presenter Helen Skelton.

No idea who they are but it looks ok by me as long as they aint idiots.

Limerick will be manager next season with Skelton assistant based on the article on the OS

It’s a novel approach, best of luck to Lenny and the guys - they are going to need lots of it if they are going to secure a Play-off place. Let’s hope there is something left in the budget to enable the recruitment of the three or four missing links that will give the ‘management team’ a fighting chance of achieving the pre-season target.

Thats how i see it, Limbrick has a good reputation.
Aussie as well so that will do me.

I’m pleased to read something positive here. Where does the good reputation come from - I know nothing about him to be fair! Cheers.

Best to assess them after results.
Earn a good reputation from us lot and not previous success.
Eh have they got any.

Hope n Wait.
To early to criticise or hang out of them

Anyhow promotion still the target with our overated squad of pure quality.

Party time in May!!!!!!!!!

Lenny wouldn't be anywhere near team affairs for me but just got to get behind them and hope for the best.
Big test for them tomorrow, need to kick start the season pretty quickly and a result against these would be a big boost.

This Limbrick gadgie's CV includes being the last manager who was sacked by some obscure Welsh outfit called "The New Saints".

Can't quite put me finger on where I've heard that particular team name before, but it certainly rings a bell-end...

They got beat in Europe last night, I think we all know the connection.

Limbrick can't manage men, he might know his stuff but he won't inspire or control the dressing room. He was turfed out at TNS for that reason and replaced with Harrison.

and limbrick sounds like the prospective liberal candidate for for norfolk east.

if he knows his stuff as with the rest he,ll be a plus on sarll. he could do neither,

exactly, time will tell for fans excited or despressed by the appointments. no matter what result we,ll get at york that will be too early to judge the appointments but i,m afraid some will.

Think this could work quite well. The biggest coaching staff this club has ever had with 2 well regarded coaches working under a very experienced/dinosaur (delete as applicable) manager. Issue being this is clearly going to need patience and will we get that with Raj?

lets give the lads a chance eh ! LL has worked wonders since he took over DS. A task i thought really wouldnt happen and it would be same old same old but the dinosaur clearly still has it. It is the old approach of having that senior Alex Fergy type with a band of coaches behind him. I said this last week and got it right. I think it will work. The 2 new coaches who have been brought in are really good compared to what we had/didnt have before. DC era had this type of setup with actual fitness coach etc... first time we have looked professional in the back room for a long time now.

Skelton did a really good job at Carlisle when they got promoted to L1. Limbrick has actually won something as a manager and worked under some very good managers. For me both CVs carry more weight than alot of our previous. Add this to the fact Feaths in involved and actually playing along with LL experience it might all actually just fall into place for us again. Lets me optimistic as i reckon it could of been worse.

Lennie has won one game, im not sure thats working wonders with this squad, tommorow we will see how much difference he has made. Lets go there and be positive and if we lose trying so be it.

wish people would stop calling lenny a dinosaur as it smacks of the bloke completely living in the past and has learned sod all over the years. if we had appointed somebody younger than nicky f would they be regarded as an up to date manager who is all thinking and the font of all knowledge to get us playing the modern england/premier league game but still losing. football can equally learn from the past as it can with the present but as a spectacle the game has not improved over the years even when we win.

Won something? The New Saints win the Welsh Premier League most years. Not winning it is more of a surprise. On that basis we should have Craig Harrison back - he's won it 8 times!

Yes, let's give the new set-up a chance, but without the moonshine.

could not put it better.

Now now….do I detect a hint jealousy because your neighbours were outshining you before the food parcel from Wallywood arrived…?

Thats Bollocks, Now fuck off back to the EFL.

Limbrick was doing well at Woking until January time then the club had a fire sale best players offloaded, And all went tits up.
According to woking fans.

Ignore Blodwin, …. new money folk always get a bit pushy.

Good talk talk from the new arrivals.

Now back it up.

UTP.

We haven’t been there before have we, not in the last two weeks at least

We have had a lifetime of it, nowt new there, we just hope it works out, that’s all you can do.
If you expect shite, you get shite, if expect success, you get shite too….so I tend to leave it to the Gods of Football and hope they’ll smile on us one day and finally notice us.

Are they the local lads Lawrence insisted would make sense for the next hire?

In short.
We shite forever.
Ah well

In all my time following pools never known such a weird appointment. Who knows it may work out. Today was just another lesson in how far we have fallen. A chairman ridiculed by many on here, has his team sat top of the league now playing in front of 6k crowds. Mind you saying that its one hell of a depressing away day now. Ground in the arse of nowhere, very little atmosphere. Maybe i wouldnt swop pools position

Lenny's last full time managerial job was in 2005, almost 20 years ago. What f*cking nonsense to appoint him.

Well he did win one game agaianst a very poor aldershot team so who knows maybe he deserves that chance. Crazy appointment but its the pools way.

Like I said previously experience counts for Jack shit especially at the final payday of a joke club Pools.

it’s a cheap joke appointment from a club with no ambition, next year will be a step
Into the unknown with an inexperienced manager on a lower budget…no doubt assumimg he is still
Compus mentus Lennie will be back into the
Dugout come next Halloween when the new manager is invariably sacked again

I'm not so sure it's cheap, we sack Sarll and appoint Lenny plus 2, and we'll still have Sarlls contract to pay up!
Definitely a joke appointment though, if a bloke who hadn't had a full time managerial job in 19vyears at the age of 76 is the best we can do there's something seriously amiss.

LL may be back room staff quicker then we think judging by today,

Lets be frank we are run like a joke and this is one of a long line of joke decisions by an utterly clueless man ruining a great football club. Appointing a guy thats not managed for 19 years and some unknowns could only happen at hartlepool united.

Non stop failure merry go round.
Only new ownerSHIP can end this cycle of Failurism.

And the Radio Tees mob have totally called it wrong in there fake assumptions of how brilliant our squad is.


Pickled eggs for eyes and pickled brains.

Unless a new owner turns out to be the like of TMS or Coxall of course.

but why should it be a repeat of that and not a good owner like other clubs manage to get. raj has lived off being a better owner than the dross but really he,d have been hounded out of town by the fans without the ones before him to compare.

We cant always worry about bad owners, it appears the only place we are heading with this guy is one disaster to another. Every year the standard we drop seems a bit each time

Not saying it will, but didn't we think TMS were going to come in and make things better, or that Coxall would?
Hopefully our next owners will be more in the IOR mould, but there seems to be a perception that a change of owner will guarantee success on the pitch.

It can't get any worse on the pitch wise


Oh just remembered.
Our LF started a thread yesterday and he's 100% bang on but the Rosetinters won't like that.

It's called Reality Assessment under this Regime.

lot depends if raj is replaced by one exactly the same. even someone without millions to throw around who has real fire in their bellies who makes the club something we can be proud of with a proper never say die attitude would be an improvement. again money helps but an attitude round the place can help if its tight.
