Reading this all over Twitter and facebook. Really poor and worrying for our future.

twitter and facebook are a small minority in the grand scheme of the fan base - I'll still be going as it's my Saturday fix - twitter's always been full of Raj out brigade - there's a cult following on there.

You're right of course, that social media isn't the majority of fans and easy to make that mistake. I just think there's this feeling, talking to people in town, seeing attendance slowly drop, people commenting who don't normally get involved in arguing, that the malaise around the club is going to hold us back going forward.

As a side point, on attendances, just looking round the crowd its much more sparse than the official figures suggest. I think this is because season tickets are counted, whether people attend or not but something isn't quite right. The last home game, I've not seen the town end that empty for a long time.

Malaise? Win a couple of games and it disappears like a snowman on a radiator,
Football supporters are mercurial, either deep in depression or as excited as a dog with a lock back in a bone store.

True mate but it takes sustained success to really bump up crowd numbers. A couple of wins might bring in a few hundred but we've got to be aiming for success over a longer period to get another 1000+ on the gate, which we had a couple of years ago. Worry is that the current regime just doesn't have a strategic approach to all this, we just stumble on.

I don’t agree that the gates were slowly dropping. I was quite amazed they kept at the level we had considering the performances. Yes season tickets are counted as at all clubs and some Tuesday night games are always less attended. I would like to put a small bet on that Pools first game next season,if a Saturday, the crowd will reach 4000+

Think it could be 5000+ myself.

Interesting to know if Phillips had a non disclosure package ?

should start up a crowd funding page on all managerial sackings who have signed them to find out the truth from them and pay it to raj. get sick of the silence and hearing just one side of all the story.

It would be nice to get all the info, or even just a bit of it. The problem is on the one side we have an employer and on the other an employee.
Can we expect either side to relate the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
I think most people get satisfaction and entertainment from reading the made up stories, rumours and the manipulation of the scraps they do get and then go to town on elaborating them.

You make it sound like a court case murder trial.

There has been a number of interviews on You Tube with Phillips. He has never mentioned anything about the budget or his contract. He states he was happy with the terms and had a good relationship with the chairman and that it came out of the blue when he was told his contract was not being renewed. That’s not hearsay it’s on You Tube.

At this moment in time Sarly got a massive month in front of himself to get above KPs win ratio. Which should result in a top 7 finish.

he has a massive season also in front of him as he must know by now if we fail to make the play offs the knives will be out as well as raj,s letter of dismissal. its a massive season for the club from the fans downwards and just where does it go if sarll lasts as long as most have done since challinor.
