You missed, "the players that other clubs in our league sign are always better than the ones we sign"

billy.."That's why we shop in the lower leagues in Scotland and our players head off to other clubs in our league"

..looks like fergie agrees with me that you are talking out of your arse... yet again..

I thought Rangers, Kilmarnock, Partick Thistle and Raith Rovers were in the top two leagues in Scotland but I'm obviously wrong. We got a player from Notts County and surprise, surprise so did Stockport County. County also took a guy from York.
You're opinion and argument is hardly carrying weight, Mr Billy if you have to be economical with the truth to make it. Lower Scottish leagues my arse.
Where did we get Byrne, Sterry and Ferguson from again??? Remind me please.

Forgive me Mr Stomper I wish I’d thought of that.

Thinking about it, if we sign a player he’s the cheap option, if same player is signed by Halifax, he’s a golden opportunity lost by Scrooge like Hartlepool Utd to sign the player to win the League for us.

derwent.."You're opinion and argument is hardly carrying weight, Mr Billy if you have to be economical with the truth to make it"

..thats all he knows...

There’s a poll on twitter of which 92% of people said they wanted to keep Byrne. Many people had him down as player of the season or unsung player of the season. So I think there’s also plenty of others who agree with me.
He has his weaknesses yes but who doesn’t at this level? Tranmere are a club who’s aim is to challenge around the playoffs as they have done the last 2 seasons so why would they want him if he isn’t good enough for League 2?
I have faith in PH and don’t believe he’ll bring in bad players. I also don’t care about pre season results but why are 2 of our first team players off to teams who are aiming for the play offs when that is supposed to also be our aim?

pesh.."There’s a poll on twitter"

...is there one for whether we should have kept flapper?....how about one for boneheads sacking?..crock boy cook?...ffs ..how do i vote?..

pesh.."why would they want him if he isn’t good enough for League 2?"

..errr ...dunno..why did we want fondo...fela..smith..or carver..if they were not good enough for league 2??..just cant understand it like... ffs...

Ok focus on that rather than asking yourself why we are selling players to direct rivals for our stated aims

pesh.."Ok focus on that rather than asking yourself why we are selling players to direct rivals for our stated aims"

..are you unhinged?..are you suggesting we should not sell players to other league 2 clubs as matter of club policy?..sorry byrney you cant be sold to that club because they are our "direct rivals"..maybe we should put it to a poll as to whether the policy has any backing among our fanbase ?

Not what I’ve said though is it? Tranmere are aiming to be at the top end of the table. We are also aiming to be at the top end of the table. In my opinion and the opinion of many others Byrne is one of our best players and was last season. Why should we sell him to a similar sized team who are aiming to occupy a league position we also want to be in? Especially when in my opinion he would be able to positively influence our playoff challenge?

pesh.."Why should we sell him to a similar sized team.... when in my opinion he would be able to positively influence our playoff challenge?"

..obviously because hartley thinks you are talking nonsense and he agrees with me..that he's non league standard as his career shows..he's as soft as soft can be..he wont attack the ball or the opposition..and hartley knows he can bring in someone better..means jack shit where he is off loaded to ...small club..big club..rivals non rivals..not rocket science is it this stuff?..how come you appear to struggle ?

If he thinks he’s not good enough and wants to bring in a better player that’s fine. I’ll wait to see who is brought in and judge on if they’re better than Byrne across the season. But it’s not rocket science to see that he can’t be non league standard if a playoff challenging team in our division are willing to pay a fee for him. It’s also not rocket science to see that people can have different opinions to yours and not be unhinged. How come you appear to struggle?

pesh..."It’s also not rocket science to see that people can have different opinions to yours and not be unhinged."

..so..you think we should have kept bonehead?..the assistant bonehead?..dimi.?..mols?..timi?..byrne.?.flapper?..crock boy cook?..and all the twitter polls agree with you?...and we shouldn't be selling players to rivals especially if you think they are decent and the polls agree with you?....sorry that's one "unhinged" perspective imo pal..but each to their own eh ?

Eh? Have I said most of those or are you putting words in my mouth?
The poll was an example of a much larger sample size than you are able to quote from. You accuse anyone that disagrees with you of being unhinged but maybe you should look a bit closer to home for the problem

pesh..""The poll was an example of a much larger sample size than you are able to quote from"

...but i didn't get to vote ..maybe the sample population was full of the "unhinged"..and tbh i do worry about people who see the world through the prism of twitter polls and the like..but crack on checking those polls mate...tweety tweet tweet...

I have to think that there are people on here have some kind of bromance thing going on with Raj Singh, such is the zeal they display when prowling these forums for even a sniff of negativity towards the club regime.

imp.."Its a lot easier if you just ignore"

..still think that's your best option..sure you can do it if you try..especially when you admit you only come on here to be entertained and find out whats happening like..

imp.."You're like Snowy but without the eloquence. That bloke at least entertains me."

..maybe also put mr D on your ignore list ? ..sure he is still upset about that particular brutal put down...or do us both a favour and find another hobby perhaps..

Think raj must have you on the payroll.

Obviously minimum wage.
Top Social Media Bouncer against HUFC Negativity.

92% of what… what’s the numbers in the polling spectrum ?
Whether others agree with you or not, you are not the manager/coach. I’d imagine Hartley is the sort of manager who’d have his input in this….. and despite the nice things Byrne said, he may still want to be in the North West.

Clutching now. Really Clutching.

So I corrected your statement in which you said that we were recruiting from the lower Scottish leagues, and from that you deduce that I'm on Pools payroll. Is that the best you can do???
You're so desperate to criticise the club that you are now resorting to fantasy as well as fiction.
Is Pooly Imp your alter ego cos your fairy tales are echoing his.

Oh do give over. You have to think you say................Oh if that was even remotely true. Starting that notion would be a major breakthrough on your part.
Whilst you are feebly attempting to think, have a think about the negativity you and a couple of others create by your made up fantasies which you try to sell as facts, when in fact they are pure fiction directly from your puerile imagination.
You need help my Pet Lamb.

Clutching? You only pop up like a Meerkat when there’s a chance of a dig at the running of the club not being to your satisfaction. Which is 24/7.
Come on, tell us what really drives your campaign…..?
I wonder what drives your mindset with this obsession.roll:

There’s over 400 votes so definitely more of a sample size than I know some people who agree.
You’re right I’m not and as I’ve said all along this is my opinion. If PH wants rid that’s fine I have faith that we’ll do well under him. If Byrne wants to leave and we’d like to keep him then why not keep him for a season and ensure we have one of our better players (in my opinion) for another season ensuring a bit of continuity in the squad. I’d prefer us to not be a club that has to bring in 10+ new signings a season and instead be one that can add a few to a solid group to ensure progression.

snowy.."I wonder what drives your mindset with this obsession."

..suspect imp is just a sad attention seeker..he comes on here for a bit of entertainment..spinning lies and bullshit and looking for a response.. its what he gets off on..a right sicko..

I suspect bringing multiple signings is a one off, given the circumstances and expect next year to be a lot less hectic. I really have faith in the bloke to do a job and it looks like he’s gone for a scorched earth policy in the football sense.
Ever get the feeling he’s done this before and knows what he wants.

pesh.."ensuring a bit of continuity in the squad."

..the last thing we need..that's why bonehead got the boot..much too much continuity for his pals..hartley is clearing the decks of deadwood and bringing in better..no more "players on the beach"..no more "oh lads that's just not enjoyable"..no more stanley unwin messaging to the players and fans..no more ..no more..

The only thing that is desperate is the production line at the excuse factory.

Yeah at Falkirk when he ripped a team up and completely focked it, Raj!

I’ve cracked it. Raj is Snowy and Poolie1 is Stephen Hobin.

A juvenile pitchfork collective, demented by not knowing what they want and wanting it now.

Wrong. Raj doesn't argue for the sake of it. And he has more to occupy him than a keyboard in a darkened room. And Stephen Hobin doesn't insult everyone with a pulse and an IQ over 80, and he doesn't speak in Morse code. What happened to The Bunker?

hartleys record at Falkirk.....9 October 2017 27 August 2018 P40 W16 D8 L16...win rate 40.00%

Snowy: I hope we’re sitting here next season with Hartley still in charge making a few smart additions to a strong squad. As thebigdog says he did this at Falkirk and it didn’t go well but by all accounts they were a club on a downward trajectory.

Poolie1: He isn’t exactly clearing the deadwood. If he was Cook, Ogle and Carver would be gone and in your opinion so would Killip and Shelton. Byrne isn’t one of Lee’s mates he was a Challinor signing so that wasn’t particularly relevant.

dogballs.."I’ve cracked it."

..no you're just f/kin crackers..."SQUAD"..

pesh..."If he was Cook, Ogle and Carver would be gone and in your opinion so would Killip and Shelton."

..lets see how many are left at the end of the season...only one person to blame for flapper shelton and cook and carver.. and thats not hartley..

Yeah nothing to see here as we sell our best players to teams in our league. We could be sat 20 points adrift at Christmas and this joker would blame anyone but raj.

Poolie1 you’re an absolutely stain on this once brilliant messageboard. Do everyone a favour and F off.

Yeah… SQUAD. We still don’t have one. And I’m sure we will do by 30th. I hope it goes well. Just very interesting the mass exodus of not just players - but staff - from the point we were promoted from NL.

Don’t get me wrong, season ticket holder 15 year, I hope the signings work and we’re up there.

THIS - 100 times over…

dogger..."Do everyone a favour and F off."

...bunker debate at its very best..

Sick of having to put you right pal.

We’ll, looks like the collective orgasm of self righteousness has finally subsided.

What happened, the pessimists took control
Since when was having an opposing opinion arguing for the point of it…..? Tell you what, you put a poll up on here to see if I should go or stay, if you dare.

"We’ll, looks like the collective orgasm of self righteousness has finally subsided".

Thank heavens for that. Glad you did some soul searching.

"What happened, the pessimists took control"

No, some people got fed up with the self appointed censors.

"Since when was having an opposing opinion arguing for the point of it….."? 

Feeling singled out for having an opposing opinion? Could never happen in the bunker surely?

"Tell you what, you put a poll up on here to see if I should go or stay, if you dare."

Not so much dare but care. You've not called for anyone else to go.

This is a good thread isn't it.

he has not ripped pools apart either. he inherited half a team with two wanting away and now another one wanting a club nearer to his base. he is doing his best to rebuild the team with players he knows who could do a job with us. if it works out we will all be winners, and although the lads who have gone were decent at times they are certainly not irreplacable and neither is byrne. anyone can do a hatchet job on any manager and bull em up if you feel the other way. even brian clough would not rate his time at brighton and leeds as his finest hours and bonehead in chief dave jones had a good career in management before he came to the vic. we have at the moment to trust and believe in hartley as really there is no other option.
