Anybody heard anything?

Few rumours doing the rounds on a group including none other than Tommy Miller.

My first rumour was Councillor Curry was selling up in 1971…. tis the way of the world at the Vic…..you just have to love a rumour…Councillor Curry wasn’t selling up in the end.

Was bound to happen. Coming soon - the fake websites and 'registered offices' traced to a Chinese takeaway in Bermondsey.

Stelling is meant to be sorting one out

Miller is in one

Raj was in bonny Scotland at the weekend selling us off to some Irn Bru clan

thats just the start...

keep them coming

Did someone mention bringing back russ green ?

Just the job.

Club needs to speak to Musgrave and Corney of Teesworks they might like the good publicity.

What about the guy that's trying to buy Yeovil, all of a sudden liking things to do with Pools.

Well they are just round the corner from each other

He paid £1 for Yeovil (before the deal stumbled).

I’m sticking with the bid from ‘Consolidated Hedgehog Sweat plc’ owned by Randy Moosecookie the third…..in the good old US of A.

Singh only paid a £1 for Pools.

The film stars at Wrexham lost nearly £3 million in a year since taking over, you need deep pockets to run a football club, does any consortium have that much money to burn ?

Wrexham went very extreme though. They bought players from league 1 clubs. We just need someone to actually bring good quality national league and league 2 players in.

They have also spent fortunes on the ground. New floodlights, building a new stand. What they have done though is probobly doubled attendances, will make money out of the TV programmes, no doubt get a fortune off sky for live games, they now get 1.1 million back by being in the football league. So a lot of money they will probobly get back.

doubt for a single minute them or anyone else are doing it for a profit. that does not exist in football but its a way to weite off tax and get local and national publicity that many crave. there are 2 ways to do the job, but every player available or use the knowledge to pick up cheaper players, rough diamonds and some who have lost their way. prefer watching a pools going down the second option than someone coming in with a blank chequebook and be hated by the rest of the football world even if we did become a household name.

Not all on the playing side though, Somer serious redevelopement going on there.

Matt Uggla - Son of a Canadian multi millionaire - shed 400k into Yeovil, had a Twitter rant about the gaffer and other things then buggered off.

is liking tweets and facebook posts made by the OS. Is he the real deal - does he have cash or is it all daddys money ?

id take him tbh - lets see what he is after and what he is wanting with our club and where he wants to take it

does he want the fame - the publicity - the hollywood due netflix style deals- bring it on if he has the cash and can prove it

like others have said - we dont need to be signing over priced Mullins and Maddens - We just need to identify players in L2 who may have fell out of favour but still want to play at a decent level for a good club (who are good themselves) and identify the best players in the NL which we all know there are a hell of a lot of them now and pick them up

400K? A drop in the ocean when it comes to professional football even at Pools level.

Gary Coxall MK 2 that fella.

Good Article on Bloomberg from a couple of weeks ago about Yeovil , well balanced view
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles ... eovil-town

Wouldn't surprise me to see Reynolds make a fillum too, if so a couple of million invested in Wrexham would likely be a drop in the ocean. We would have been a much better story mind with all of our history.

Not just history about the club but the town as well.

If he's walked away from Yeovil just because they got relegated he sounds like a glory hunter pure and simple.

Tommy's going to have a very busy summer

"Former Hartlepool United midfielder Tommy Miller has been appointed as the new assistant manager at South Shields."

They might of meant his dad Fatty Miller.

Is that dusty Miller manager of trumpton utd

We'd be better off with Arthur Miller trying to survive the Crucible of this league.

Or Steve Miller - may as well add another Joker to the pack.

Please, no more wishful thinking about long departed ex players riding to the rescue….who fantasises these things and sets them in motion is just perpetuating an unimaginative longing for God knows what.

What happened to our 1 million?
Unbudgeted i comes etc.
Time for the deluded to wake up smell the coffee.
We goin nowhere fast.
Our fans Loyalty being abused to the fullest.

could get a few ex mags coming along with ashley to make us the north east version of salford.

Not much to change in signage for the ground if Ashley took over, only the suit part to remove.

I see Jeff stelling has said good offers on the table and Reynolds offered 500 k to take over Pools.

Only a matter of time though, Is it not.

Dreadfull thought.

Have you got a link, cheers

Reynolds never tried hard enough, If at all End of.

Mmmm..
Yes can we please have a link to that Jeff Stellng quote mr billinghampoolie?
Just doesnt strike me as something Jeff would say.
To be candid with you this stuff about us missing out on hollywood heaven has become bit of an urban myth i think, for use by those with an agenda with Mr Singh as a means to stir up more trouble amongst the clubs supporters.
Getting a bit tedious if I'm honest especially given our circumstances now with relegation.
And of course doesn't fit in with what the bloke involved in sorting it all out actually said about it now does it?

"But I had nothing else to do so I went on Wikipedia and Football Manager and Football Manager, as we know, is an incredible database of information that’s quite hard to find elsewhere and I picked out eight to 10 clubs in the National League, National League North and South and League Two."

“I think I've named some of them, so Hartlepool was one we looked at vaguely, Macclesfield was talked about. There was a couple who were talked about that were in trouble."

Report on Jeff at Guisborough Trinity’s 50th anniversary bash this week:

https://mikeamosblog.wordpress.com/

Sorry, Guisborough Town!

So the hollywood duo offered to buy pools for £500,000 but Mr Singh wanted his £1.8 million back so it went nowhere?
Is that what Jeff has reportedly said?
Can't be right can it since the duo then bought Wrexham for £2.1 million?
https://www.goodto.com/entertainment/ho ... -net-worth
Sounds as if they could have saved themselves a few hundred thousand if they had given Mr Singh his money back.
Wonder how much they offered to Macclesfield and the others on the list of 10?
Having said that personally I'm well sick of hearing about it, and surprised Jeff appears keen to rattle on about his take on what happened on the after dinner circuit.

Easy to explain. He's a sports journalist and as far as the media are concerned the novelty of the Hollywood connection makes it the biggest story from the lower leagues in decades.

There's truth in it so it's no myth.

It's hard not to think of it or talk about it when its so prominent of a story right now and is in such stark contrast to what we've experienced since. Could have been us.

I,ll say it again "They never tried hard enough"

They obviously got no encouragement from Singh, sounds like he wasn’t even prepared to negotiate or they didn’t fancy a place where there was bitter cold wind from the North Sea.

More like they didn,t want a club that was in close proximity to larger clubs, Pretty isolated north wales.

24 miles to Liverpool and Everton?

I happen to like a bitter wind off the North Sea…..sitting in the sun does my head in

Glad i gave you something to do, lol

But seriously if Reynolds had wanted Pools he would have got pools.
I was going to say he never tried hard enough, But i think someone has already said that.

I agree, wishful thinking generously dosed with what ifs…..poppycock.

I think if they had studied Hartlepool a bit more they might have been interested, the monkey legend and the shelling of the town in WW1 among other things. They probably drove down Church Street, saw the Shades then The Wesley, Grand Hotel, and the other boarded up grot in the town and thought not going to throw money at the football club.

If they visited Hartlepool, why would they drive down Church Street on the way to the Vic…..I was looking at a number of vlogs last week and most were actually quite impressed by the town and tended to praise places like the Marina and the coastline location and if you think Church Street is that bad try getting around this country a bit more and get your eyes opened.
