Looks like it's a major secret his contract.
Normally get 1 or 2 on here saying my source with in the club said told me it's this or that.
But nothing zero jackshit.

I'm going for a 2 year contract were he can't be sacked for the first 12 months.

So sack date back end of April and we finish between 18th n 20th.

A no excuse season totally gone tits up.

It's not yet gone tits up but unless Raj acts this weekend regardless of the result it will be very soon. We have to change ASAP just to give the new boss a chance of the playoffs. I still believe in this squad but that's pie in the sky until the change is made. What will piss me off the most is him lasting another 2 / 3 / 4/ or 5 games because that would be a total and utter disaster for this season and possibly the club aswell. Raj come on for fook sake get a move on man PLEASE

Maybe that's why Auld Len has been in the dugout the last couple of games-as he's pretty much bullet proof. Would also explain his don't give a shit, my way or the highway attitude! Could be in for a long season!

Still like you say- a NO excuse season given the squad and the general piss poor quality of the opposition!

But if he quit….?

Or there could very possibly be something going on in the background, and Sarll is on his way out. It would explain Saturdays team selection and his post match interview slating players

If that was true I am certain he would have already been sacked. No point the club leaving him in charge until things are sorted especially when he is slaying certain players. Get him gone Raj if you seriously are a genuine caring Chairman.

He won't get paid out, if he quits- so highly unlikely he'd do that.

On a slightly different tangent - has anybody listened to Athletico Mince - football podcast by Bob Mortimer and Andy Dawson? I thoroughly recommend it, it's hilarious. Full of different sketches, my favourites include - Geordie Heat, Gangs of the EPL. The Nonsense Potter, and Peter Beardsley and his Missus, which is particularly brutal!

They do a sketch called The Manager's Lunch Club - it's supposed members are some of these journeyman managers - the likes of Fat Sam Allerdyce, Tony Pullis, Steve McLaren, Alan Pardew, Neil Warnock. Where they discuss their latest DESTROY and EXIT strategies over lunch. Basically how they plan to ruin their current team before fucking off with a wheelbarrow full of cash!

Maybe that's 'Uncle Darren's' BIG plan!?

The way I understand it is this............If he quits of his own accord he is not entitled to any severance pay. If he hangs on and Pools want rid they have to pay him for the remainder of his contract. How much depends on his salary and how long he has left on his contract. A compromise might be for the club to make him an offer to go away which might be acceptable to him even if it is not the full amount to which he is legally entitled. He can then look for a new job with a healthy bank balance. That way it can be claimed he left the club by mutual consent as opposed to being dismissed.

I am no expert and those with a better understanding of these things may well come along and correct me which is pefectly fine by me.

"Money talks" is a common saying but where HUFC is concerned, "Lack of money talks" so a sub 3000 attendance on Saturday should precipitate some much needed action.

Lol. If pools had a wheelbarrow of cash they wouldnt be in the NL and Sarll would be nowhere near the place.

That and a sound thrashing. Problem is it would be typical of Pools to blag a win and save Sarll's significant bacon.

I doubt that even a 1-0 win playing the Sarll way would do anything to improve the future attendances. It may give him another week or so but I cannot see Raj accepting falling gates/income for very long.

No one would disagree.

That's a fair comment Ozzy - but then you have to question why he's here at all? That and the fact that he's clearly not very bright which is probably the reason that he talks in riddles - as he clearly hasn't got a fucking scooby!

There was a rumour last weekend about both Raj and Sarll being gone this week, assuming you heard it too? I'm also assuming it was more wishful thinking than any fact.

So why would you wait, Does not make sense. We now know undoubtedly hes going for 1 - 0 wins.

If there is NOTHING going on in the background then the season is over.
Is he"Uncle Darren" that arrogant/dumb that he feels he is doing well and his job is safe.

If there’s no change shortly the season is lost, might as well tell the wife you’re available for the dreaded Xmas shopping as despite it being a nightmare, it can’t be as bad as what’s on offer at the Vic.

I don't think anybody in football in unsackable - except for club owners. It might cost an eye-watering amount to get rid of Sarll - though it's not as if we signed the Alex Ferguson of non-league football, so I doubt it'll be that much - but it's always in Raj's power to get rid.

My theory is Lennie is in Raj's ear promising that his golden boy will come good - when Raj has had enough I bloody well hope LL gets the boot at the same time. It'll be richly deserved.

I think Raj is sounding people(managers) out as we speak, I believe "Uncle Darren" will be gone soon.

So this isn’t some sort of ‘deadpool’ winner takes all thread whereby we pay our money and guess how long his contract is and when he gets sacked.
My guess is the 7th for the sack, we’ve played 12 games, scored 7 goals but not scored in 7 of the 12 games, erm can I have two go’s? It might be the 12th

If the result is bad enough, he could be gone on Saturday night.

All that will do will give the new manager an even harder job of playing catch up.
Could of had Fevs as caretaker manager after the Ebbsfleet game while sounding out!
Most probably 7 pts better of in the process as well.

You don't bin 16 previous managers then prolong the employment of the worst one.
Maybe Raj has ran out of compo money or he's at the past caring stage.

The evidence of Bullshitters before n after match interviews suggest he's fcuked Raj over big style with his employment criteria and the smug-faced bastad is actually loving/getting off on it at our espense.

Wudent be surprised if he comes onto the pitch again to clap take the piss again if Saturdays game ends up anutha non win.

We fcuked.

To be fair - Hartley was worse. Much worse. As least this geezer has put a decent squad together. He hasn't got a clue what to do with them - but the teams more or less in place. Hartley put together the worst Pools team in (my) living memory and he didn't have a clue about what day it was.

A pointless comparison.
Like comparing turds, they’re both turds.
Turd one might have slightly different characteristics but at the end of the day they’re turds, you can’t say one is slightly better than the other.
You just don’t want either.

Exactly.
One day we might get it correct

Great podcast. I’ve recommended it to loads of people. Bob is the funniest man alive.

Not a valid comparison, Hartley had the reasonable excuse of being totally ignorant of the quality of the English lower leagues as opposed to the comparatively poor standards of Scottish football. Sarll has absolutely NO valid excuses for his abject failure during the initial 12 games of the season. Find a loophole on whatever stoopid contract that he has been awarded and get him gone, gone gone.

excuse for hartley as he did not seem to understand the level we were playing at and what was needed. sarll has been around long enough to understand the level. he has got the tools for the job but cannot find a way to use them.

could be right there. pointless getting rid without a replacement. getting a caretaker in for a few weeks could make the catch up even harder.

I've heard a few rumours about sarll going, seemed to have some substance in them as well. Heard nothing regarding Raj, other than a month or so ago that the takeover wasn't dead in the water.
I can believe the rumours about Sarll, as soon as Lennie was going on the bench to help out I thought his goose was cooked. Reminded me of when Boro got Terry Venables in to 'help out' Bryan Robson, you knew Robson was on his way.

It'll be interesting tonight to see if there's an interview on bbc radio tees, usually an interview with the manager. Might be quite telling.

Maybe a certain "Person " at the club is not mature enough to admit, They got it WRONG.

Can,t wait

Radio Tees said last night today's pre match interview today will happen.
False hope of winning games.
Now we can't win or even score more false hope of Sarly getting binned.
What a mess

Your so wrong.

Confident statement Kevin which begs the ? , Do you know someone ITK.
If so please be transparent.

Worried about who would be the carekater?

you could put in the creepy caretaker off scooby doo and he'd do a better job than the muppett currently running us into the ground!

I was replying to the bottom sentence.
Anybody is better than this wage burfling bullshit crank.
Even Lizz Truss or dig up Albert Tatlock.
Basically anyone can step in on a caretaker basis and instantly improve our pts total.
UTP.

so somebody gets a job as caretaker and most likely we would improve in how we play and results. thing is that would not be hard at the moment. then it would be typical pools to appoint them full time if they wanted the job because of the money. however would results and games be better once the newness wears off and other new problems emerge.

Agreed 100%
