Oh dear. Misery dipped in absolute sh!t. Not up to the job.

Rumour has it he might not be in charge next week.

He just doesn't come across as a leader. It's like he has imposter syndrome and doesn't know what he is doing here.

Ive heard Alexander.
Excellent cv in the English Leagues.
Not the Dog n Duck bilge above Hadrians Wall.
UTP.

I think the end is nigh, tho without new players any new manager is going to be polishing a turd until January

Err - that'll be Graham Alexander the Scotland international, whose last job as manager was Motherwell?

Agree his record as a manager in England is good - but would he be mad enough to come to Pools when Raj would be onto his 7th manager in 5 seasons?

Get him back on the horse tho. It's just not happening with PH. No glimmer of improvement is the worry.

Nobody wants to see anybody fail but he's not giving off the vibe that we are about to turn the corner. Team selection is uncertain.

Lucky dip selections. Lucky dip formations.

Unfit football team. Crazy thing is, it’s probably not his fault. We went on a pre season tour and asked random Portuguese lads to fill in so we could play 11 v 11. Oh and yeah… SQUAD!

He is at least partly responsible, raj wasn’t holding a gun to his head demanding he sign shite like Murray and Hastie …. On 2 year deals Jesus wept !
When he does stumble on a decent signing in Sylla he then won’t play him.

Murray and Lacey are fucking garbage but look like guaranteed starters under Hartley until January for Christ sake
He then drops our best 2 players in Sterry and Ferguson for a couple of kids and loans some kid from Sunderland who doesn’t look strong enough for the u17s womens badminton team.

This rumour?

Judging from his interview, it looks as if Hartley might have heard it too.

next saturday could be the end of him. just cannot see the bloke coming back from a home defeat against another struggling side. doubt anyone does not want him to succeed as it defeats the object of wanting pools to do well. back in the old days he possibly would have played his strongest available side midweek but the way players get injured so easily he,ll have an eye on saturday. nothing beats a regular starting 11 now or 100 years ago.

It most certainly is his fault.

On another forum rumour has it Alexander is lined up, Just passing it on.

along with other old names who have had one real success with loads of failures after. imagine their success was all about their ability but failures due to others.
