The Poolie Bunker

I reckon a forward.

I'm going for Harry Kane.

I'm going for a loanee from boro scored 1 in 6000 games but hailed as a great signing.

He’ll be announcing his ‘back room staff’ first..a dads army of old boys who will fill a couple of weeks worth of interviews in the Mail around the clubs culture

I wouldn't be surprised if there's some attempt at a marquee signing to win people over. Supporters ideas of marquee might differ from the reality though. I'll have a stab in the dark at Danny Johnson.

Might see 1 or 2 coming from out of the frying pan (Gateshead International Stadium) into the fire......

I give it a week before he talks about building up our contacts with the big 3 to get loans in and a month before ‘the sort of players we are looking at are waiting on league clubs so we have to be patient’

Same bullshit year after year but some people forget they have heard it

Dave Bloke has been seen entering the Vic with his agent.
Described as a legend in Scilly Isles football circles he’s been a regular for his local team for the past three seasons….but would like to carry on living on the Island and commute for matches.

The return of Jake Hastie...

I reckon it's about time we signed yet another young promising goalkeeper - who we'll immediately loan out and who we have no intention of ever letting anywhere near our first team. Then when he does brilliantly during his loan spell - we can just pretend he doesn't exist and leave him to find another club. Then we can get another young promising goalkeeper to loan out somewhere...

Apart from that I'm hoping for Reyes Cleary on a three year deal, Southends wing backs and Ollie Pearce and Regan Linney to replace Joe and Mannie when they bugger off (ingrates...).

Anything less and I'm not going.

(to my traditional two games a season).

Fingers crossed...

More like fooking Candy Kane.
Adios

More like Jake Duckworth.

ypu two are setting your heights high now.

or one or two from a balti restaurant in bombay.

I can see an incoming statement that we have a great group of youngsters and that Grayson has a great track records of developing youngsters.

If your good enough your old enough, I’ve never been afraid to play the youngsters etc…

Wonder if it’s in his contract to kiss Rajs arse in every press conference like Phillips did

Wonder if he mentions the steak holders Keith Curle was so fond of. Though Keith may have took them with him- my sauce tells me KC's a BBQ King at this time of year- when he's not busy, in the middle of his missus

Bound to get the usual shite.
PLAYER: I turned down loads of offers to sign for Pools. The fans are world class. I always hated coming to the Vic when I played for Dover Ebbsfleet etc.

LARRY: Great signing can play in multiple positions. Finally got him in the end. Almost got him in the Mount Everest league but he had a phobia about heights.

is it stated in players and managers contracts that they have to come out with complete and utter shite in interviews that ate complete copies of what we have all heard before. that includes the so serious face they put on without a single hint of a sense of humour or being a normal human being. like robot talking to another one.

Article in The Mail re Grayson,
https://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/sport/ ... ss-5178233

If I like many others are clutching at straws then I apologise. I am however very surprised that there has not been a press conference for Mr Grayson or is it that he is the choice of new owners and a takeover is nearer
than we think or led to believe. No photo of him and Raj together?

May be another Frosty interview, That will be fun.

Can only assume he's busy trekking back from the Himalayas!

At his press conference he will unveil his left foot and right arm, have been heavily frost bitten, and how Raj is a pussy cat compared to the Yeti he had a rook with, shortly after leaving Base Camp.

That he only decided to come back after he saw the blue and white distress flare on the horizon spelling out the word LARRY. He knew he had to have one last dance (minus his toes) on the biggest stage of all - The old Vic!

When will Curly and Mo be joining him as his coaching staff…?

just wonder who his Sherpa will be in the dugout.

Surely something happens today.

I can't be doing with a load of mediocre late arrivals then give them till November to gel shit.

not bothered when anybody does come as long as they are with us for pre season. anybody know when that will start or is it another secret that even the players do not know yet.

I would have expected to start now, Or within the next week.

Then next week will be the week after.

But don't forget the bonus of the no transfer window.
