The outlook is not good..in fact it’s FUCKING AWFUL :angry-screaming:

It’s bleak, it’s depressing, it looks hopeless, it looks like the Hartley Horrors all over again with our relegation battle starting in August.
I can only relate the buying of season tickets by those who have done so, as having faith in being lead through a minefield blindfolded during a blackout and hoping to come out the other end intact.
Given the omens, optimism and blind faith will be in short supply this time round.
I can only see a sick joke of season if things remain the same.

Spot on Snowy.
RS has little or no interest in HUFC or the supporters. He is a business man with profit as his goal. Failing a takeover, the fans are going to suffer an excruciating season falling into the NLN.
If RS cannot seal a profitable deal to his satisfaction now, the chances of doing so as an NLN club are negligible. So where would that leave the club?

Well if Profits are his goal then he will sell, no/yes

Got to agree Snowy
Never, in my forty odd years of following through thin and thinner have I actually dreaded the start of a NEW season.

Absolutely zero optimism to be had, in what feels like the beginning of a very long slow painful death of OUR club. And what makes it worse is there is absolutely nothing we can do about sliding into the abyss.

Nobody is saying anything - interested parties can't say a thing, as Raj throws his toys out of the pram at the first signs of descent - sighting the NDA.

The only way to get rid, is to boycott home games and the club shop- as money is all Raj is bothered about. He may then take the hint and fuck off.

I have to say I'm hugely disappointed in anyone who has bought a new season ticket- they've basically poured their hard earned straight into his back pocket. I can't see how these foolish individuals, don't see the bigger picture. Especially after the blackmail vote episode. banghead

It's now 11 days since the retained list was released. Since then, there's been complete silence about the state of contract discussions with Mani D, Grey, Sheron and Dodds, a bit of skullduggery around Josh Mazfarzi moving on and a few unsubstantiated rumours about new players.

It's well over a month since we heard anything at all from our erstwhile Head Coach or anyone else on the coaching staff.

There are only a couple of rational explanations for this state of affairs, along with the irrational one that Raj is just pulling everyone's chain for the hell of it.

One is that negotiations for the sale of the club are not just ongoing, they're at an advanced stage - in which case football planning for next season is a matter for the new owners.

The other is that the Ral is mulling over winding the club up - another decision that you wouldn't think could be delayed much longer.

I take the fact that 3 non-playing roles at HUFC have been advertised as a glimmer of hope that a takeover is still on the cards. The takeover at Southend didn't finally happen till 19th July last year, and that didn't turn out too badly...

It’s a message board, when serious shit happens people comment, so why are you so concerned at the numbers, do you not want to rock the sinking boat…
It’s true I’ve started a few……but that’s because something I love is being ground down and decent fans treat with utter contempt……that seriously disturbs me.
I make no apologies for caring….try it sometime instead of believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden.
Even if we get brilliant new owners who are a gift from Heaven, there’s no excuse for what ordinary fans have been put through, it’s disgusting.
Things never change where those who meekly accept being treat like fools keep hoping things will turn out ok as long as we behave and know our place……the time for that tosh has sailed off over the horizon..
Optimism is the last refuge of the gullible.
The old ‘behave, accept and make the best of nothing’ ways just don’t work.

My take on the forthcoming season is that it will start badly but changes will happen after xmas and we will narrowly miss relegation but the club will have stabilised itself for the 26/27 season.
That is the best i can hope for at the moment.

Maybe he's doing that well with his care prisons.

That he can play with his HUFC toy for a bit longer.

I felt more connected to the club in those lots of crowds between 800 n 1900.

Got to boycott him out simple as.
The players and the sponsors also.

Only the scragger players will stay and ya cant blame them for that but it means relegation as the bookies odds suggest.

it would have been better if nobody had bought there tickets but we cannot tell people hoe to spend there own money. they,ll have there own legitimate reasons for there actions. if you boycott games you are starving him of cash but also starving yourself of enjoyment in watching your team. a donny rovers type of march on matchdays and a noisy oldham protest pre match outside the ground could be as effective where we can stillsupport the players on the pitch if they themselves deserve it.

You don't have a monopoly on caring - I'm well into my sixth decade as a Pools' supporter. Why are you so upset by the suggestion that a takeover might still get us out of this mess?'

'Optimism is the last refuge of the gullible'? 'Fairies at the bottom of the garden'? Fuck me.

No-one knows how this farce eventually ends. No-one has made a public statement on behalf of the TWO bidders who made initially satisfactory offers to take over the club to say that their bids have definitively failed/been abandoned.
While everything is tied up in knots by NDAs, there's an entire other side of the story that the fans are not party to.

I don't attach any more importance to Raj's pronouncements and blatant attempts to manipulate the fanbase than anyone else. We might actually learn something when Raj's new video appears - but it will still be only his word, not the final word.

It will be the same as any of the other past 15 or so seasons, our better players will leave, and inferior ones will replace them. Some of the inferior ones signed, might turn out to be half decent, and they will probably leave at the end of next season, if not definitely the one after. There will be a thin spread of experience in the squad, that although leading to the usual inconsistent pattern of results L,D,W,D,D,L,W, L,L,D etc, leading to another boring mediocre just below mid table finish.

RINSE AND REPEAT until such a time as the club eventually goes into administration.

add losing in the trophy and fa cup at the first hurdle and getting at least one new manager in before the season comes to a boring close.

Even if the takeover happens it too late to build a good team. I don’t believe we’ll be relegated but don’t expect too much success. I’m expecting to finish somewhere around the middle of the bottom half. This is not because of any great shakes at Pools but because there are usually two or three godawful teams at the bottom…

Not necessarily - said earlier in this thread the Southend takeover only went through on 19th July last year. They were in 14th place at the beginning of this year, 3 points behind Pools! They started slowly but kept strengthening the team and finished up in the play-off final.
No reason Pools couldn't do the same IF there is a takeover and IF Herd Group know what they want to do and have the money to do it.
