Article by a journo on X that Raj has put in an offer of £1 to buy Halifax who have pressing debts of 1.8 million. So we had better get the Harris deal done Quickly. Surely after his performance at Pools he would not be allowed by the FA to ruin another club.

Ruin Pools? We were days from going out of business when he arrived and financially stable when he left.
His 3 managers a season and hate / hate relationship with the fans wasn't brilliant but I don't see why he shouldnt be allowed to be an owner again.

Yes PTID he saved us at the time and got us promoted and also relegated because of lack of investment. Now he has gone local companies are again investing in the club. He very much overstayed his welcome.

He kept us afloat when no one else was interested…but we weren’t going anywhere.

Don't disagree, but being not very good at owning a football club isn't grounds for the FA to bar him.

he was far from the ideal owner and lost my support when we surrendered our place in the league for a second time due to bad decisions and lack of investment. cannot imagine he was easy to work with which shows by the lack of local investment in the club. give us your money and now shut up will never work. he was poor but it became a fashion to knock the bloke without all that much thought.
