I'm not going to celebrate staying up in this league but we were dead and buried in Feb, off the pitch we were going bust, on the pitch, down to 14 FT pros, we were managed by Craig Harrison. There was no hope and definitely going down.
Bates has come in, the players seem to respond to him. We've got two other coaches assisting him working for free. We're still complete pants and still by far the worst Pools team I've ever seen but you got to give him credit. Raj Singh has a tough decision to make. He's turned it around but the home defeats against Guiseley and Solihull leave doubts in my mind as well as tonight. We got lucky but that's the benefit of brotherhood membership, the result was never in doubt. I've known we'd win this for about a month.
We need a huge clear out, we've had a losing mentality for years, we have to finally rid the club of its CURSE. Budget will be reduced we know that, but we've seen that a successful side here will get good gates and bring in off field revenue so a canny decision about the manager and 5/6 new players with the right mentality and attitude and we can turn it around.
