No way would MG go to Poolies, why would he leave us now after how far we have come for a job with little security

Disappointing news. I hoped Hignett would get the chance to take poolie down, still I guess someone else will get that honour!!

Careful what you wish for Pete, if the Poolies went down again they might find their level and actually win something!

I think they've got a fair way to drop before they find their level. :D

They do seem to be stuck in a cycle of starting badly, sacking their manager, bringing in a new boss who keeps them up.

Then the cycle begins again.

The Sunderland of league 2.

Regardless of who comes in, there's apparently all sorts of loans/winding up petitions at Hartlepool. Plenty to worry about for their fans.

They should be able to get out of it relatively easily with a CVA though. They don't have to worry about their ground being a saleable asset that would go in any administration event.

If they don't go down I do hope we can get them in the FA Cup first round next season...

I've heard from a couple of people they've taken money out on the ground... albeit it against the physical fittings and steel work in one of the stands. Not sure how that would work of if there is any substance to it but I've heard it from a couple of people now. So while the land might be safe it makes you wonder what sort of state the ground would be in if the worst comes to the worst.

It's not looking great for them, is it?

I hope they survive (but get relegated, obviously).

the owners of Pools are a joke, what do they expect Higgy to do with a crap team and he only had 2 and a half transfer windows to change it, they should never be looking further than staying up, their whole infrastructure is a lot weaker than more than half of the teams in that division

A couple of crippling administrations and a few seasons in non league will do them the world of good.

Oh IOR, where are you now? :lol:

I find it difficult to imagine a scenario where it would be cost effective for whoever has the security to remove the bit they want - as surely they'd have to ensure the safety and structure of everything surrounding it?

That's exactly why the rumour is a load of bollocks.

It happened with Darlo, every know nowt comes out of the woodwork with all these stories that "someone in the know" has told them.

It sounds like Poolie could do with that money from Billingham Town.

They'll probably be outside the Limitation Period now, though.

Shame.

Tax bill then basically. HMRC take pittance in a CVA they don't have the resource to do anything else. To be honest they are quite trigger happy with winding up orders and rarely comes to anything.

What a shame he was doing ever so well. If Poolie dont get wound up it'll probably be the National League for them next season. If only Darlo could join them!
