"So Raj's first victim of what will be many of the season, the assistant manager has been sacked. Apparently he was offering players out at the end of Saturday's game"

Thought it was going to be a thread about the Wealdstone Raider!

Do we know which player/s he was threatening to chin?
I wonder if he invited them to 'Bring their Dinner' - like John Sitton did, back in the day, at Orient!

Quite bizarre really when last season we had Waterfall actually stick the nut on Mani in training- and wasn't sacked, or even sanctioned as far as the fanbase were aware.

A football club is, amongst other things, a place of work. There will be disagreements and even falling outs and lookers on, hangers on, people looking for a bit of gossip or whatever will hang on every snippet, and then proceed to embellish every word.
The important words that should be attached to such events are "what happens at the ....... stays at the ......

Rumour has it was Brad Walker.

Also had a rep when managing Carlisle, According to one of their fans on another forum.

Also been said by someone who was at the game

"MacDonald shouted more abuse at the players mid match than the fans did"

Could it be that this issue has been simmering for several weeks? Remember the Brackley game when Pools could suddenly hardly put two passes together, many of the players looking disinterested and lacking motivation. Several of us posted that it looked like something may have happened behind the scenes after several weeks of positive football and decent results. Just a thought.

Going back to Stone Age in football terms if that’s what was going on.

Brad Walker's performance during the York game couldn't be faulted. He didn't get on the pitch

So McDonald is fired and replaced by Dickman within hours of an alleged incident? Asking for a friend.

Suppose at least Dickman has some idea of Non League football.

Succession planning, Grayson's replacement is in the building.

Who would not plan ahead, Common sense.

To be fair to McDonald, if it was a row with Walker, you could have every sympathy with him. Perhaps now he might start to run a little. Those analysers must look at his data in despair.

despair. a comedian could use them as part of his act. what can go wrong with just a walker in the side and a dickman coaching them.

But still in the wrapping laper.

I was thinking along those lines. I've noticed for a few weeks now the official site pics and videos, the players all have a face like a smacked arse. Some photos went up to today and it's all smiles, I don't think it's a coincidence.

we,ll see on saturday if there has been a big difference in them when it actually counts.

He looks even more lazier than he was the first time.

you cannot change habits of a lifetime overnight.

He could never run …stiff as an ironing board ….his other talents compensated to a degree but was never the full package on the field….but like a Ferrari with a wheel missing, looks good from certain angles , but never gonna win anything.

pools since our first stint in non league football have been masters of signing players who only looked good before the kick off. Walker is the new louis laing.
