Are you a bit dim? Actually don’t answer that.

see, look at how quick the response is.

Obsessed.

 

[Carver]

Great goal from Sarcevic.

That Carlisle keeper looks slow, like he's falling through treacle trying to get down to a ball. That's if he even dives at all.

He's still better than your shit keeper.

 

[Ellis]

Nah, just find you two Mansfield fans weird, all you ever go on about is attendances, when Mansfield have never been particularly well supported at all.

I know FGR is tinpot and tiny as a club, but you two cretins have serious delusions of grandeur about Mansfield.

Is Burchnall and league one boring you or something?

I did find it odd why there's a Forest Green fan posting in the L2 forum, a small fish out of their depth up there I suppose and down here too.

 

[EricSabin]

*We did beat you away last season

You did. But my point still stands.

 

[FGR-Star]

Am I not allowed to post on here?

To be fair though, the League 1 forum is substantially more boring than this one!

Their shit keeper is third in the league while we are slumming it in the bottom half. I wouldn’t be too chirpy.

 

[Sestonpoolie]

Spot on about better players, absolutely.
Honestly can’t see what Hartley can do with what he has to work with.
But like it or not they are his players.

Better players?
Lee signed Marcus Carver for £20,000,that in its self was a sackable offence.
Brought in Joe White, Isaac somebody & the permanently injured Morris,whilst getting rid of Holohan & Matty Daley,absolutely crazy.
We were comfortable mainly due to the good start we had.
He also employed the same dogshit system Hartley is doing.
We'd have been in the same position,if not worse with him in charge.

 

[Sestonpoolie]

We won one in the last 12 games last season, everything went to pot after we lost to Rotherham in that trophy thing. We had nothing to play for and Lee was unable to address the slide. Mind you, even before that the football under him was never good, you could see early on it wasn't going work.

That run, the fact we've not won yet, Singh's appointed at least two poor managers, gives little financial support to them, and word about us has gone round in the game is the reason we are where we are. It's not only budget, people don't want to come here under the present owner. Unless he gets rid of himself for a stupid price (he apparently priced himself out of the Hollywood takeover, some other talks held with our major sponsor who might step in), we are going nowhere except back to the Carlos Valderama League.

I just can't understand Singh's attitude.
Being a businessman surely he should know he isn't going to make a big profit selling a lower league 2 club.

He should he happy to get his investment back,otherwise he'll end up losing the lot if it all goes tits up.

If you believe Lee's bitter crackpot brother, we had allsorts of decent L2 players lined up, Harry Chapman, Andy Cook, Bryn Morris another. All would get in our team. Singh allegedly put a stop to it because he's a massive skinflint and if you look at the accounts, far from putting up a competitive budget he's taking money/his investment out the club (but that might not be a bad thing in the greater scheme...)

Was not meaning the players he brought in, his judgement was shite.
Was referring to the players he inherited.

 

[RiftHouseLad]

If he,s taking money out, Seems he,s getting ready to abandon ship.

He doesn't strike me as a good businessman, everything he does is penny pinch and piss off everyone who works for him by being a fairly unpleasant person.

He has no concept of speculate to accumulate, which is what we should've done to build momentum after promotion, or what a fair price is. We then finally have plenty to be competitive in this league, he takes some of that out and we get what we have now.

I hope so but I think he's still holding out for the ground which simply mustn't happen.

Our council are fairly inept,but keeping ownership of the ground is one good thing they have done.

Yup,last season was the time to capitise & push the boat out a little bit.
The club was on the up,great vibe around the place,now its stagnated & lost over 1000 home fans.
How much has that cost him £15,000 to £20,000 a game?

 

[PaulHaddock]

Been feeling that Hartlepool have the same problems as us under Fenty and those last few posts have confirmed it. You don’t realise how bad it is until you get someone new and better in. Penny pinching and stubbornness are not the signs of an evil owner but failing to learn from your mistakes makes you a very stupid one.

 

[RiftHouseLad]

We should find out shortly if Raj is a man of his word.

One of his favorites is "Value for money"

So if as HE states the manager has been given a playoff budget.
Does he believe he/we have gotten value for money with the managers signings.

Its not rocket science is it, And why would a manager who,s brand new to Lge2
Push someone (Sweens) into the background when he could tap into his knowledge.

 

[Conker]

If he claims Hartlepool got a play-off budget he must think you lot are brain dead.

 

[Sestonpoolie]

He actually said it was a substantially increased budget on last season & a good manager would get us top seven with it.
After the first 3 signings,you knew it was bullshit.

Am I right in thinking we have only spent money on one player, Umerah from Wealdstone?

Worst thing about it all, is once Hartley is sacked by November, Whichever poor sod is next will inherit a squad full of Scottish rejects and we will wholesale changes AGAIN.

He,ll be lucky to be here come monday after we get mauled off Orient
Honestly can,t see what his tactics are, Baffled.

"Fast attacking Football"
His own saying time after time on the run up to the season start.

Has its own level of Arrogance, I think...

Raj has a track record of swinging the axe, both at the doyles down the road and ourselves.

Current form continues and can see PH being gone, be it rightly or wrongly.

His interviews are a rinse & repeat,keeps saying we need to be better.
No shit Sherlock,he sounds like Craig Harrison with a Scots accent.
