## Resource

Happy New Year to you all! I am joined by Danny and Isaac to dissect the monumental news that the club has changed hands, as Raj Singh steps aside for Landon Smith to take control. We assess Mr Singh's tenure as Pools owner - the massive highs and the horrible lows - and look to what the future of our club will bring courtesy of Mr Smith. Plus, we cast our eye over the first part of a huge 24 hours - when the lads took three points from (then) league leaders Rochdale - and discuss both recruitment and fixtures coming up. A bumper edition to ring in the New Year, and a new era! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
