Brown talks break down (From The Northern Echo)

Hallelujah!! Has Hodcroft taken heed of the comments posted regarding Brown's total incapability as a Manager. This guy will not save Hartlepool, he's not a winner, so obviously he won't be successful. No Championship clubs, by his own admission, have even considered him since he left Preston, so he shows utter contempt for Hartlepool by saying, "I need to drop lower down the league, start at the bottom, roll my sleeves up and get some hard work done". Admirable, but Hartlepool aren't at the bottom yet, there is a division below, but if Brown takes the helm Hartlepool v the likes of no hopers Gateshead could be a regular fixture in two years time.

Hodcroft hurry up and get brown and is backroom staff in, and lets have a new start

Brilliant. 'Yogi' has got the job. A legend at Easter Road, if he brings the passion he displayed while playing for and managing the Hi-bees, Pools fans are in for a treat. He gives 100% commitment and demands the same from his players.A true son of Leith, Pool now have a chance of survival this season.

Thought you were a Darlo fan doonhamer?

Now it explains why you're always giving Darlo stick.

Not quite sure if you can read what's in front of you mate, or do you deliberately just pick out bits here and there to make your own story. If you visited this site on a regular basis you would know that I stated that I am a Darlo fan. Unlike a lot of saddos I genuinely want to see Hartlepool survive and not suffer the same self destruction that we have endured. I stated that I did not think Phil Brown was the man for the job and so it has transpired that is how it has indeed worked out. John 'Yogi' Hughes will do a good job, of that I'm certain and Pools may yet avoid relegation and I hope they do. If you have a problem with that fine, but I don't. As for giving Darlo stick, the last time (I'm sure you'll correct me if I am wrong) was pre season when mistakes re the ground share at Shildon etc were the main topic of conversation and 1883 didn't seem to know it's backside from it's elbow. Since they got their act together I have praised them on this site on numerous occasions (I'm sure you WON'T correct me on that one) and will continue to do so. Finally, as a TRUE Darlo supporter, I was at West Auckland on Saturday along with all the regular die hards. Seems to me the 500-600 or so that stayed away because of Wests price hike were more annoyed at giving them an extra fiver (which I agree was morally wrong) than supporting THEIR team. Hope they feel vindicated though, because who knows, the result may have been different if they had turned up. Those that donated their £5 to the poppy appeal, I applaud, anyone else is a part time supporter. Which are you Quakerz, a donater I hope, given your amount of contributions to these pages.
