Whilst not calling for Hartleys head if he did go wouldn’t Danny Wilson be a good shout, basically left before as he didn’t get on with Hodcroft, he wanted a written report on the game from the Saturday, Wilson mentioned it on Switch of Play podcast.

All of Pool’s managers had to submit a written report of the match for the Chairman under Hodcroft. Industry practice to Hodcroft I suppose, but I can see the point of it actually, I don’t suppose he was expecting the works of Shakespeare in post match analysis form.

Hodcroft should just have read the in-depth analysis contained on this board.

We’d find the Chairman’s door swinging in the breeze, tumbleweeds rolling about and a note saying …’Fuck it, I’m off’……. and he didn’t even swear sadx

If I was the Chairman of a football club I would try to be there every game but as Hodcroft was a Newcastle fan I doubt he was. I believe at one time there was a portrait of Shearer hanging in Reception.

there you hit on a problem within the game at large and especially where owners/chairmen are concerned. it might not be a problem right at the top but at pools level i doubt you,ll get 100 per cent out of someone who had football interests elsewhere. the owners of fleetwood and fylde both had blackpool down as there prefered club but the oystons stopped that. even the owner of the mighty stockport is a man.city fan. they,ll do a decent job whilst the team is on the up but can walk quickly when things are not too rosy and fans start giving em shit. be interesting where raj,s heart really is in the game and which result is the one he is looking for.

A bit like having divided loyalties, but at what ratio….?
Sadly, Hartlepool millionaires who love Pools, despite what some people believe, are as rare as Ratboy’s A levels.

possibly its similar to having divided loyalties if you live miles from the town and cannot afford to come back up or have not the time. if you want to watch football you go somewhere else. thing is you want this team to win until pools turn up and you quickly revert to your first love for the day. the best thing that has happened for years is the live ifollow mid week games. seen more of pools because of this and saved me a fortune on non pools games i might have attended.
