Can someone with a legal head please outline to me what needs to be done to release my club from the heavy shackles of this current regime please?

Had enough and fear for our future.

Have I missed something? What have Hartlepool done to make people think they will be 'in the mix'? They've signed a promising young keeper from Braintree. But he replaces one of the best keepers on the league. Their only other signings were players who were with them last season. When they finished 16th.

10 goals from CM is a decent return.

Why was he released?

Squad update: Three more depart | Bromley Football Club

From this I guess he wants to move on from Bromley as he was a first team regular there. Expect him to rock up at Eastleigh or Ebbsfleet.

think he was their penalty taker - certainly scored one against us!

seems to be a consensus that he was their best midfielder and will be missed. likelihood though is that he will sign for another larger london team but nice to dream

They signed Kerr from Heed in the window.
Making small improvements and also looking at NL experience.
Expect them to improve as they did 2nd half.
Beat us and Salford.

I think they've got a better manager now than they did at the start of last season and I expect them to do better but it seems strange that the same people who are decrying us are saying that Hartlepool will be challenging for promotion when at the moment they have the same squad they ended the season with (not particularly strongly in terms of results) minus Scott Loach.

Aye, I'd be surprised if he didn't have something sorted already with a club further-up the food chain.

All the clubs down there seems to swap players all the time.

My opinion is their managers approach.
A work colleague said they are looking at NL experience but with 1 or 2 from the league according to the media reports.

I am reserving judgement on us until I see the next 2 signings but we should expect to be challenging as well.
