I’ve been holding an all night vigil opposite the club shop in a converted Portaloo, not really practical for me and the dogs…,but it’s the excitement and hope that kept us going …..and Ratboy’s flatulence ( fecking mackerel fillets )

[color=#808000][/color]A bit of patience is required we all know it takes 6 weeks to bring a permanent manager in.
With Raj saying we got our No. 1 target Again.

Welcome Merlin the Magician.
Now that's Magic.

to be fair sweens must have done 6 games in charge before challinor got the job. if lennie hadn,t have mentioned his possible 1,2 or 3 games in charge nobody would be all that bothered about the length of time.

Our very own Super Kev is here.

Yes he is.

Yer don’t think Kev’s surname is ‘Pickwick’ and they’ve got the two mixed up …..and the home grown manager with the mostest is about to be revealed
Stranger things happen at sea.

When is the announcement

We might have a better idea today as to who is really in the frame for the job. Would have thought there is a fair chance they will be in the Directors Box at Ebbsfleet.
We need a Poolie (who is mad enough to travel to today's game) with binoculars or a telescope to report on who is present. Hopefully the team turns up too!

I reckon it's Gary Pallister - isn't he a chum of Raj, and previously been seen at Pools matches and most importantly ex borer! At least he knows how to DEFEND!

Just because he knew how to defend, doesn't mean he be able to get our Defence defending.

And it’s all official for you doubting fans

Good call.
Make anything with the Bookies?

Drama Queen.

If that is an imminent arrival, I'm no longer worried about the 2 minutes warning for Nuclear warfare

Pick ya trumpet up, Now tell us who the new players,lol

I backed him at 25/1 and had 100 on

Is that you Kevin Phillips?

Welcome to Pools- hope you're stay is long and Trophy (Castle Eden and Strongarm are also popular local brews) laden

Welcome Super Kev.
Hopefully u can emulate DC then get the Sunderland job or whatever success brings you.

welcome to the club but i,ll wait to see if you are super or stupid kev as there is never a guarentee of anything in the game.

Joined 14th January is that you Raj

Is that pence or quid?

Well good luck to him, now that Mancini is back in action, we might have a chance of staying up

I suspect that if our form picks up, the take over not happen,

hes down as the head coach not as manager which is bizarre.

also still having Lenny in the mix is weird too ? will this disrupt things ? is he spy in the camp or just there to maybe make the tea ?

would of thought KP would have had his No2 from Shields with him or another former work mate ?

im hoping we really do bring in 4 quality players - Mancini back to his best. Mani D back in the mix and there is absolutely no reason why we cant get to the playoffs.

Like be honest just look at the quality of football we have had to endure. Oldham where crap aswell. A few better players and we are technically one of the best teams in this league by a long way too !

I thought the same with KP being given the title of Head Coach, who I thought in normal circumstances reports to the Manager - is that still LL?

There is a world of difference between Head Coach & Manager.

I,ve posted his interview,As far as he is concerned HC/Manager are one and the same.
Not been in the dugout, Cause he is suspened. Very good interview imo.

He comes across well and has more than Askeys interviews and 'we dont defend good enough' interviews.
