Re: Raj Singh
Take him for what he owes you higgy, the snake will try to slip out of payment.
He is basically dishonest ,told us he did what he certainly didn't time and again. Would not trust this guy .
How he managed to get through the right and proper person check by the F A is very questionable.
He will rinse poolies that is for sure .

Re: Raj Singh
No doubt when Dave Challinor is sacked, he'll struggle to get anybody decent as people will know what Raj Singh is like & can't be trusted to honour contracts.

Re: Raj Singh
At the time I said that we should listen to what he had to say, which is a fair bit short of wanting him back in charge of the club. In hindsight it was a good job that he wasn't allowed back to the club. As the saying goes 'hindsight is a wonderful thing'.theoriginalfatcat wrote: ↑Tue Apr 28, 2020 5:43 pmI thought you were one of the people who wanted him back in at Darlo Pete?Darlo_Pete wrote: ↑Tue Apr 28, 2020 5:23 pmNo doubt when Dave Challinor is sacked, he'll struggle to get anybody decent as people will know what Raj Singh is like & can't be trusted to honour contracts.

Re: Raj Singh
It was unexpected that Singh would try to fleece an ex employee of HUFC?

Re: Raj Singh
Thank goodness that awful man is no longer anything to do with our club. We may not have much money but at least we can be proud of our club.
Re: Raj Singh
I was the same Pete, I wanted to hear the man out. However when he bottled out of that podcast it showed that things hadn't changed and his actions since have reinforced that view.Darlo_Pete wrote: ↑Tue Apr 28, 2020 7:42 pmAt the time I said that we should listen to what he had to say, which is a fair bit short of wanting him back in charge of the club.

Re: Raj Singh
I wonder what will happen first the United Kingdom being unlocked or Raj Singh putting Hartlepool United into administration.

Re: Raj Singh
Didn't something similar happen to Cooper when Singh sacked him? And of course, we know all too well that when Mr Singh doesn't want to be contacted, he can't be contacted. Plenty of similarities between 2011/12 and what's happening at Hartlepool. Maybe all the fawning coverage in the local press about Mr Singh when he bought Hartlepool was perhaps a little misplaced...
Re: Raj Singh
Jeff hartlepool sterling ,will have alot to answer for, he wouldn't take heed of this guys past football indiscretions after numerous warnings from people who had dealings with the dishonest lying man.i cannot bring myself to mention the name. Horrible person.

Re: Raj Singh
Personally I never wanted to hear what Singh had to say - words are just words and Singh could have sicked up a platter of silver tongued B.S. if he'd turned up to speak to us as proposed.

I didn't have any issue with him not wanting to continue to throw money in every month back in 2012 but the way he handled the rest showed you what type of person he was. How could you trust someone like that to run your football club, even if he offered cash initially you were putting him in control and evidence suggests he can't be trusted to be in control.

Don’t trust the man after his shenanigans the 1st time round, he’s showing the kind of bloke he is by slowly killing off Pools.

It wasn’t just he ran it badly and left us in the mire. He’d say one thing and then do another (take the golden share).
Not only could he not be trusted, but it would have been humiliating and reckless to go crawling back to the man who’d nearly destroyed us a few years before.

Re: Raj Singh
To move into topic drift - I like the fan owned model, in fact I like it a lot more now than I did when we started with it.
It doesn't please me that Hartlepool are having issues with Singh, however it does please me that Darlington are not!
It pleases me that our football club can't be used, abused and toyed with by the likes of Singh, and if that means rocking around in this division a bit longer than so be it.
One more short sentence.
And I'm out of here.

Re: Raj Singh
Same. I just do not see the sense in handing out club over to anyone, at any stage now really, unless it was absolutely necessary to keep the club afloat.Darlogramps wrote:Exactly this.

We've gone to the bottom, sustained the club ourselves, and it was fine. Yes the football was of a low standard but that's better than no football.
Unless a Saudi mass murderer comes along, there will always be 'the next level' that we can hope someone funds us to. So ultimately what is the point? Buy one promotion, maybe two, then stagnate and cry out for someone richer to come along and provide the same again?

Re: Raj Singh
Clearly remember a discussion with my 3 Darlo supporting friends at the time, we were all in agreement that if he came in then we would have stopped coming to games until he had gone again.. And we were all sure that he wouldn't last.super_les_mcjannet wrote: ↑Wed Apr 29, 2020 10:49 amI was in the same camp, didn't see the point in listening to what he had to say as it couldn't be believed anyhow.theoriginalfatcat wrote: ↑Wed Apr 29, 2020 10:36 amPersonally I never wanted to hear what Singh had to say - words are just words and Singh could sicked up a platter of silver tongued B.S. if he'd turned up to speak to us as proposed.

He may last a couple of more years at pools but it will all end in tears over there.

Raj Singh said after his purchase of the Poolies: "One, I am a big football fan. Two, I want to put a perceived wrong, right.”

Re: Raj Singh
Fascinating dissection of Hartlepool’s accounts on Kieran Maguire’s Twitter.
They lost 860k for 2018/19, and Singh is already owed £1.5m.
Fortunately when it’s time to sell up, he’ll just write it all off like he did with us.....

Re: Raj Singh
Interestingly, total creditors of £2.73m which will include his loan.Those figures will have worsened this financial year so god knows what the Balance Sheet will show now.Would you honestly swap our position with theirs bearing in mind they are only one league above us.If I was a Codhead I would be pretty worried to say the least because this guy will not hang around for too long.Darlogramps wrote:Fascinating dissection of Hartlepool’s accounts on Kieran Maguire’s Twitter.

Re: Raj Singh
Truly terrifying accounts. Meanwhile, on the BBC Tees Sport podcast, Singh is openly questioning "how long does one man keep putting money into a non-league club?" and other such statements ("how long do we keep going?", "am I expected to put in the 400k? [to cover costs related to coronavirus impacting on season tickets]").Darlogramps wrote: ↑Wed Apr 29, 2020 10:24 pmFascinating dissection of Hartlepool’s accounts on Kieran Maguire’s Twitter.

I'm so glad we aren't reliant on one person to bankroll our football club anymore - let alone a man like Singh.

Not totally but I would love to have a stadium like that owned by the council who are supportive of the football club whatever happens.QUAKERMAN2 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 30, 2020 7:53 amInterestingly, total creditors of £2.73m which will include his loan.Those figures will have worsened this financial year so god knows what the Balance Sheet will show now.Would you honestly swap our position with theirs bearing in mind they are only one league above us.If I was a Codhead I would be pretty worried to say the least because this guy will not hang around for too long.Darlogramps wrote:Fascinating dissection of Hartlepool’s accounts on Kieran Maguire’s Twitter.

Whilst I wouldn't want to be in their position, even if they went pop and started again, as long as they stick together they still have an advantage over us.

Re: Raj Singh
Yeah listened to that, sounds like Raj wants others to come in which hasn't happened, so he will now accept supporter money but as the biggest shareholder still wants to be the one making the decisions. Whilst I understand his position that wouldn't entice me to put any money in and presume it's the Trusts stumbling block.al_quaker wrote: ↑Thu Apr 30, 2020 8:07 amTruly terrifying accounts.

Other than say next season where they somehow make it back to the Football league or have an FA Cup run and draw Man Utd away, then they are in big trouble moving forward.

Re: Raj Singh
Just listened to the bbc tees interview - I have heard it all before. Same s*** different day.
Re: Raj Singh
Their position with the stadium is a certainly to their benefit. The council's decision not to sell gets some flak at times, but it'll come off as very astute if it all goes tits up.
I'm actually a bit surprised Singh is making these noises. I really thought he might have been stung by what happened with us, and he can hardly say he didn't know what to expect of running a conference level club. But it really does sound familiar doesn't it?
