Lint rolling with me, Drake.

A solid string of results in the final quarter saw us move into a relatively comfortable position in the league. There's a lot of areas, both personnel and tactically, that need to be improved over the summer but I'm very happy with how we took to life on the next rung in the ladder.

The true success story of the season has to be Gary Martin, whose 31 league goals both led the league and broke a Hartlepool single season goalscoring record.



Either he stays and continues to bang them in or he gets sold. Either way, totally vindicated spending the £110k on him.

2017/18











Sold Brad Walker for quite the princely sum and it enabled me to raid Burton and bring in a player I've been eyeballing for a while. He's obviously going places and may even be a starter by the end of the season. The rest of my signings are defenders and loans to bolster the players I already have, who I cam quite confident in.

I think mid-table this season has to be the target and I don't think it's unreasonable to expect it.

Wassall looks good Good signings and hopefully you will be right in the mix this season.

A pleasant little run during October that has seen us rise up to ninth in the league.

Pretty good run you are on Hope it carries on

Amazing position after 24 games, I really hope we can keep this up because we have some good players here and we're playing excellently. Shocked by Yeovil and I was offered the Brighton job, but I reckon it's worth sticking around for this.

Looks brilliant so far, so close to those play-off spots!

Right up there in the mix Hope you will be there at the end of the season.

Wow Yeovil Town running away with the title

Sorry, I know it's only taken me two months to post my next update. I work a lot now.

Finally finished the season at about eight this morning, shot up the league thanks to another 30+ goal season from Gary Martin, an improved defence and an amazing 20 game unbeaten run.

As always this opens up more exciting opportunities, I've already begun scouting for the season ahead and while I think we'll have a hard task staying in the division the motherfucking sweet smell of the Premier League is so close I can feel its green particles nestling inside my nasal cavity, tempting me to go on.

So with my current rate of progression you'll see my next update in about seventeen years...

2018/19 season

Here are my signings, not loans. Svendsen came back on loan because he was great for us last year up front with Martin and Zaukani came in to cover the defence.















Very pleased with the players I've brought in, they should match the good unit we already have.

Such a shame we couldn't make it the new year...

I'm kidding, this has been a fucking incredible season so far. I did not expect this, top half maybe, but we came out of the gates flying and haven't let up. Big wins and draws against teams like Stoke, Sunderland and Swansea really punctuate what we're doing. Svendsen is on fire, Nevin is killing it in defence and 32 year old Flinders is having the season of his life in goal.

Superb season to date man!!
