Can we describe Mr Gibsons tenure as like being on a roller coaster ride where the brakes were shot and while it may have been exhilirating, it was a fookin stupid thing to do.

Spot on apart from that fact he broke his arm and we finished mid table.

But I suppose you know that. What a sad individual....

ok I got it wrong but why does that make me a sad individual

I get it if you post on here where everyone has perfect memories and people dont like what you say you are sad and are subject to personal insults - sorry mate in that case its not me thats sad - a message board is about opinions and views you dont sign up to agree with everyone else - thats what I do - express my opinions nothing more and will continue to do so

What makes you a sad individual is logging onto various message boards under various aliases to cause conflict between Pools fans. I don't understand the mentality of a fan who'd do that? I also don't understand your constant digs at the club but that is probably all for show to keep this little game going that your playing. I could sort of understand it if it was a fan of another club (Darlo perhaps) but it would still be sad.

As for resorting to insults you called people on this message board 'dishonest' earlier today, you can't get much more insulting than accusing people of dishonesty.

So what your saying then basically is , as a club we are FOOKED! this is as good as it gets, even though other clubs like Scunthorpe and Colchester can achieve success without IORS.

If Ripper,Aido and Snowy are anything to go by , no wonder there are very few peo plewith money in the town to bankroll us. Small minded , easily pleased , unambitious individuals quite happily watching probably the football leagues most unsuccessful club, and loving it, how sad.

I am saying nothing of the sort, YOU are labouring under the lunatic delusion, that in your world, we can just dump IOR and the football equivalent of the Tooth Fairy will pull up and drop us off a shiney new owner, as IOR are shown out the back door. Your grip of football finanace is as tenuous as your grip of what we stand for, which is far from accepting shite. From your post, it's obvious that you think any problem can be solved by throwing money at it, wrong .. and just whose money are you being so feckless with?
You sound like one of those 'fans' who rose without trace over the past ten years, expecting success on a conveyor belt and like the character 'Spoilt Bastard' in the Viz, you want it and you want it now, .. and like that character you want someone else to finance your demand without the slightest idea of just how it's done. I really can't take such tantrums seriously.... :roll:

Why do IOR have this spell over most of our supporters, I tell you why! Its because what went before was so bad , that we are prepared to accept anything as long as its better than what went before. But lets face what have we won under IOR?. Granted they have put the club on a decent financial footing( though this prudence stopped us from kicking on in 2004/05 and last season in my opinion) and they have raised the clubs profile in throughout the football world. For this I am grateful, but I feel IOR have hit the buffers and realise they cant take us any further. IOR missed the chance to kick on when interest was at an all time high and gates were averaging 5000 plus. Next season gates could be down to the levels they were at when IOR took over. Most supporters seem happy to languish in div 1 , but a club our size cant stand still , we always have to be reaching for the stars even just to stand still. To be happy with mediocrity will mean gates drop and we will end up in div2 ( which when all is said and done is our rightful home when you take into account support etc). What I am saying is if we are to win something it will be with a sugar daddy, we will never win anything with IOR , just the odd promotion from div2. Yes with a sugar daddy approach it can all go horribly wrong, who knows Hull and Doncaster may end up back in the Conference, but what stories they will have to tell. Pools though just muddle along.Scunthorpe and Colchester, Grimsby, Rotherham,Crewe have all played in the Championship so why cant we? My first game was in 1971 by the way. Dont be scared of life after IOR , one day they will walk away when we have no use to them anymore.

Aye what stories York, Halifax and R&D have to tell, it must be great to tell em to each other in a crowd of 1000 per week in the Blue Sq Division One

Grimsby now have 14 points in Division 4, Rotherham more or less the same and have been in admin twice, and Crewe, sadly, are sinking without trace.....

IOR did 'push on' after the PO final defeat, they gave Scooty a fair wedge to spend and what did he do with it.......

Good post

Harold Hornsey era went before IOR and he saved the club and took them as far as he could. He invested his personnel wealth and the supporters will probably never see the likes of that again.

I see a consortium in future times taking control of the club due to the nature of investment required to run a modern football club.

IOR will one day move on but you will never convert the masses on this site with the realities of that notion. This is about business and the day will come when the current owners either sell or walk away…. Considering the past investment, it has to be the sell option.

I agree they wont stay forever and as already stated most on here cant believe they wont just because they dont want them to. As you say theyll look to sell not walk - trouble is who will buy at their asking price - a buyer would I think prove difficult to find - then you have the scenario that IOR wont invest and then we'd have a real problem
