Now that Judas Clueless has a worse record than even Scotty with 5 losses on the bounce he will at least have a little help. He won't be able to pick Barratt who he thinks is one of the better keepers in League One, when he is the worst by a country mile. How come he, as an ex keeper, and George Wood can't see this when everybody else including a blind man on a galloping horse, can.
Now all he needs to do is leave the Player of the Century and Lord Nelson on the bench and we might have a chance of actually winning a game. I like the look of Nardiello who will rattle a few cages and put himself about a bit. A pity a few more of them can't follow his example.
If the dynamic duo can't get us out of the mess they have landed us in I hope Hovercraft will come out and apologise to the fans for fooking up our centenary season and step down.
Talking of centenary season does anyone know when the centenary book is due out or are they working on it for the next centenary?

Go back to Rivals. We have our quota of negative posters thank you.

If Hodcroft steps down, IOR step down.. are you for real?

Can't you change your name? Phythian was a good egg.

I would keep Nelson in the team and drop Collins then that would get Ben Clark back into his best position

If Hodcroft leaves, IOR will go with him and we'll go bust...great.

It wouldn't suprise me if IOR do go after reading posts like this.

I doubt Hodcroft reads any of the posts on here. It would appear Turner certainly doesn't.

Why the fook would IOR go if Hodcroft steps down. He is an employee of IOR. He doesn't own the fooking company, you half wit

Becasue he formed IOR and is a Director of IOR, you no-wit...

Ken Hodcroft Interview With Northern Echo - May 2003

Formed them my arse. As I said he doesn't own them and they could pick another chairman fron outside the company, Soft Lad

If Obefami Whatsisnamwe doesn't like negative posters he needs to look at the league table and wake up and smell the coffee or get his head out of his arse. The situation is not all sweetness and light me old fruit.

Obafemi Obsession needs help not mocking.

keyboard warrior alert

Spliff i am a warrior heart of a lion made from granite but i'm still scared of the dark like.

Pythian is one of those on Rivals who moan all the time. Without Hodcroft, there would be no IOR involvement and we would go the same way as the Doils down the road.

Over the last few weeks, I have had a go atmany aspects of the club, but to suggest Hodcroft steps down is way OTT. As others have pointed out IOR own Pools so if Hodcroft was to step down another employee of IOR would be in put in place.

We simply cannot afford for IOR to sell or just pull out, since they have took over we have had our best run of "success" on the field. Yes mistakes have been made, in my opinion, going back to April 2005 when Cooper was sacked but who in their life hasn't made mistakes. Especially in decisions being made at work.

I have said from the day Turner was appointed , I thought it was a mistake, a win ratio of approx 1 in 4 after leaving Pools, out of management for almost 4 years. And now 5 wins in 22, funnily enough about his win ratio prior to returning to us as manager.With 12 defeats in that run. Now I have no doubt what so ever about his committment and love of the club, and it's for that reason I believe he should step down, but I cant see that before the end of the season.

The problem we then have is if IOR reappoint him as Director of Sport who will want his spectre over looking them. We need a clean break with regards to team management, but not with the owners. A new face to oversee the playing side, no interference from above and all decisions made by the new incumbent regarding players etc.

fruit cake springs to mind.

How about Dave Penney as the new boss?

i thought and maybe a lot would disagree mad dog might have got more out of these players

A strike rate of 277 wins in 380 games. A win ratio of approx 72% give or take so why not.

If those figures are true then he certainly bears consideration BUT (and its a big but) can we really afford to have a squad of about 50 players? He certainly likes siging players left, right and centre.

If he was up for coming to pools on the proviso that he is limited to a certain realistic budget then why not.
