DEB (never forgotten) 0 Posted June 19, 2009 Interesting. Our board sell our 25 year old best centre back for around £750k whilst fighting a relegation battle in a ''fire sale'' - sorry that mean''t to read ''for footballing reasons''! - and now replace him with a 29 year old that Hartlepool fans are happy to see the back of. No doubt the ''happy clappies'' see it as an excellent signing & feel excitement about how the squad is shaping up!Makes you laugh.A poll of their fans resulted in: Pleased He''s Gone (49%)Not Bothered Either Way (26%)http://www.hartlepool.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=158220 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Humphrey 13 Posted June 19, 2009 Does that make Smidger a closet ''happy clappy'' then [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,610 Posted June 19, 2009 To be fair if you has done a poll when we sold Shackell you probably would have found more than 50% of Norwich fans pleased to see him go for that money! maybe they are just all fed up with the "will he, won''t he" sign his contract saga.

Destort 0 Posted June 19, 2009 It''s interesting as on 606 they all seem to say he seemed disinterested and his head was elsewhere. Hopefully it was just the want for a new challenge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jumpers for Goalposts 0 Posted June 19, 2009 If you listen to Nelson''s interview on Radio Norfolk, he states that he knew he''d known that he wanted to leave Hartlepool for sometime, and acknowledged that it effected his form last season. Considering, I don''t think we should be surprised that some of their supporters are glad to see him go. I''[m sure a lot of City supporters would be equally pleased to see a player leave who no longer wanted to play for the club Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheCardinal 0 Posted June 19, 2009 Well, I''m pleased to see him arrive. With him, Doc and Stef - with Spillane filling in if needed - I think we have a strong back line with a good mixture of experience. If Nelson can recapture the form that has seen him do well where ever he''s been, he could be a good signing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
