    I’ll not be attending many, if any games. Away games more likely than home games but I doubt we’ll even be able to fill the bench at season start. We’ll have the usual 3/4 out injured in pre-season (Odds on Hallam?)

    If Social Media info coming from the club is to be believed then very few if any new players are incoming. That leaves 18 with some of those garbage/injury prone. KH bullshitometer will
    be in overdrive

    Remember when PS said he was against the idea but Cox wanted him (strangely had been friends with him despite not working out his age). Cox has left, the recruitment the worst in the history of the club but he’s still here.. working for daddy

    Early or late if Will Swann is anywhere near it, it won’t matter

    You are right Les, Hurst didn’t do what Swann told him and so got the boot – just when he started to play some good football with KVV and the rest. As MW said it was one of the bad decisions at GP.

    Aside from one cracking goal it didn’t seem to work out with us. Maybe a coaching role as the management team appears to lack a bit of quality

    Will Swann’s picks with a bit of cash were appalling, what are we going to get when he’s got no money to spend – its enough to give you sleepless nights

    I think the basis of the comment was that whilst there is negativity abound at the club and very poor season ticket sales the club had a perfect opportunity to shine a light on something affiliated with the club which is a real plus story. The criticism most likely borne out of frustration for not seeing a golden opportunity. The club were probably in shock after having some positive news around the family excellence achievement, some more good news coming so soon after blindsided them no doubt.

    Another 500 season tickets would pay the EFL for this year. A loan that was taken out after the club was supposedly free of debt! So the owner not only puts no more money in he cripples the club with a heavily caveated loan. Any cash left for players – does it go to Will Swann? If so I’ll keep my money for the gas bill thankyou very much.

    Here’s the nub of the question, fans don’t believe what the chairman says concerning ticket money, some will wait for a takeover some will pay on the day, some have had enough ( a lot). Many are ambivalent, many want to see affirmative action from the chairman. The dynamic isn’t simplistic. I will say that fans will not benefit from the clubs demise, somebody will.

    Bolton fans had a similar predicament, for them their corrupt owner took the money from the club from season ticket sales (according to their fans), could be that people are nervous around that, as Oldham fans are.

    In order for the club to survive it has to be sold, that is out of the fans hands

    To suggest he is looking for a buyer is to believe what he has said he is doing, I’ve heard many statements over the years and none have come off. Of course taking a mortgage out on the grounds days after saying all this hardly supports his stated position, but he could come out and give reasons why but he is refusing to do so….

    The club has gone, it hurts but its reality. Swann cares not a jot and wants his pound of flesh for land – in my view anybody who builds on this land is in for a rough ride. If Swann doesn’t sell and attempts to build himself well…. i do not need to say anything

    Season ticket money goes straight to Will Swann and then to the players,
    90 in fact over the last 3 seasons. I think season ticket money should be given to somebody who knows what he is doing. i don’t take Swann’s word for anything and the rest of them have nothing to say without being fed something from Swann – clearly none of them knew anything about Swanns latest move.
    I would consider that many are not renewing on the fact that their money invested wouldn’t be the most secure given Swanns latest move. Will there be a club next season? I doubt it, will season ticket sales save the club? I doubt it.
    A disinterested owner with diminishing funds across his business refusing to now speak to media, hardly motivating.

    The strange thing is every manager has got progressively worse, so I don’t know how to address that trend other than sticking with KH. Cox looked lost, KH looks more lost but has more media soundbites in his armoury, tactically I have seen nothing more from him (in fact less than Cox) but another sacking would only work with new owners.

    The way the club is run I don’t believe an answer exists.

    I do believe we will be NL North at the end of next season because we still have a lot of dross whose level is exactly that. No manager can stop the rot only new owners

    Must need some money but goes against all that was said at forum and also doesn’t make it attractive for potential buyers. There is only one winner from the demise of SUFC.

    He could sell SUFC and tell prospective buyers they will have to find a new ground

    It will hardly get people rushing to buy season tickets.

    Problem with the last few managers Les has been the interference from Swanns. None of them have been able to operate in a way they want to. KH alluded to it in his Saturday night rant (nut also said wasn’t their fault – without offering where the problem lay). I don’t agree with KH’s strategy regarding the young lads and I do believe he is a better manager than his results suggest here but he is starting to lose the fanbase because of his constant nonsense he is spouting every single match. Adkins did it sometimes but he used to win football matches.

    ctually disgusted at what Hill did today. He’s not planning anything he’s destroying confidence. Don’t give me the BS about seeing who has the right attitude. This is what happens when these players come up against a team who isn’t on the beach playing reserves and has something to play for.
    He is just ruining careers before they start. So do we wait until 8 defeats and 2 draws into next season and then get rid – with the burden of his team in place – or do we get rid now? He has a lot of cards that he has played to forgive this shower but today was just embarrassing for everyone connected to the club. I watched that today to say goodbye to the FL status but it was maybe saying goodbye to SUFC. Swann (and Hill) have a lot to answer for

    10 years? Imagine being named after a failed venture that closed many years ago.

    How about Henry Afrikas Park

    Nutall has missed many opps prior to some fans giving him stick. The first miss in the first half was probably the worst I have seen for some time (Tyrone O’Neil would’ve buried it). He is way off being a good striker and we need at least two good front players, we have none at the minute

    KH is making a point to the full time pro’s and the board in terms of recruitment. This season has seen us use 46 different players – so what plan is this?

    Yes we have blooded some youngsters and some may be OK, not many but some. This was a second string Hartlepool side with nothing to play for and we played some nice football at times but Omar Bogle should’ve had a hatrick – and yes if we had a striker we should’ve had two.

    I noticed when the reserve linesman came on both teams came to the sideline – their management team were in at them explaining what they wanted KH stood there and didn’t say a thing to anyone of them. He speaks nice to BBC but says nothing to the players. I don’t think he will be here if we get new owners and if we don’t get new owners expect some more Will Swann classics gracing the pitch because I do not believe any statement from the current chairman

    Exeter did OK out of Ollie Watkins. When was the last time we made any decent money from a sale. Certainly not from anybody scouted by the current set up.

    We made £5m out of the sale of all our assets
