Latest reports suggest that Gavin Strachan has knocked us back. And the hits just keep on coming...

Johnson did a decent job for us in the NL. I wasn't too put out when he left as I thought he was easily replaceable, but I appreciate the work he did for us. Losing Cass was a much bigger blow, and that may well have been a consequence of our chairman's game-playing with the budget in the...

A footnote to Saturday's game... That is the first time we've ever had five ex-Poolies play against us in a single match. I hope that the esteemed Cass, Johnson, Walker, Rodney and Jones appreciate this singular honour.

You can't just get rid of somebody and then replace him with an experienced EFL manager within a couple of weeks. What madness is this!

Strong suggestion now that Gavin Strachan will be announced tomorrow

Sweet. I'm a patient man, I can wait until then.

It's coming, I can feel it. If not today then soon...

Sweens to Edgeley Park?

I'm hearing that Nelse has been interviewed, and is likely to be offered something, assistant (to Miller?) if not gaffer. But you know what the rumour mill is like, especially in a small town like ours. It doesn't take much for some made up.bollocks to gain legs (if that isn't biologically...

I think we should start learning the words to Micky Nelson's blue and white army.

Lads, what's the panic? It's Vale. We always win at Vale * * actually, in recent league visits, we do! 12 points from our last four trips. That offsets a dreadful overall record there. We've lost three cup ties in my lifetime by a combined score of 16-2, and our league record (apart from...

I refuse to go back until we've been turned down by Tommy Miller and Micky Nelson

It's almost as if boasting about withholding part of an agreed budget from a manager who's just got your club promoted was a bad idea.

This is another one that's rumoured to be us (Hartlepool)

Improvement, but not enough. Good positions but little cutting edge. The squad outside the first XI still looks painfully thin, which makes the chairman's boast about deliberately withholding a significant chunk of the agreed budget from the previous manager in an attempt to get him to sign a...

I'd like a repeat of my last Tuesday night visit to Swindon, when we won 1-0 courtesy of a hilariously soft 90th minute penalty, and I was one of 72 fans who left the ground happy, though not quite as happy as I was when I was one of almost 1500 Poolies who witnessed a 1-1 in 2004. No...

Btw, some of our more puffed-up fans have been telling me for the last few weeks that our outstanding home record had little to do with Dave Challinor and was largely down to our magnificent fans. Ok.

I'm in Newcastle (not with shoddycollins in case you were wondering). As usual with me, music >> football. I'd hoped that the confidence we usually display at home would allow us to get a result today ahead of some tough away games. Erm... no. All reports I'm getting tell me that no complex...

It's come to something when a game against the league leaders possibly looks the easiest on paper of the next five! Forest Green (Home), League Swindon (Away), League Port Vale (Away), League Sheff Wed (Away), PJ Trophy Lincoln (Away), FA Cup

For me it's simply a case of getting through this next fortnight. We have two away games against good L1 opposition (Wycombe and Sheff Wed) in the cups, and three very tough-looking league games in Forest Green (H), Swindon (A), and Port Vale (A). Even if we manage to beat Wycombe, our reward...
