There are financial fair play rules in league 2 but if an owner donates some money to the club that can be included in the turnover. You are alllowed 55% to spend on wages. So we have to stick to a budget

If this is true that we only offered a year, that is rank

I can understand that from both sides eg Amonds and Hursts.Amond although a decent player in the conference didnt really make it at Accrington or Stanley for whatever reasons and like others have said may of not been that prolific in league 2 with better quality players.Hurst was probably taking the over cautions approach and giving him a one year to protect the clubs financial assets(I kind of respect that). Eg Amond does well in league 2 like he did in the conference and he may of well probably got a 2 year deal after  he had proved himself at a higher level.

Seems then Amond then went somewhere else where he got a better contract offer eg 2 years.I be honest I cant blame him but then dont blame Hurst for giving him a one year deal either.For me I think its Amonds loss.Established here and was loved by the fans and he probably fed of that.May struggle at Hartepool this year and not have the same impact eg think of other strikers we have had here recently that do the business for one season then go to other clubs and then get released

If they offered a 1 year deal only, then who can blame him? I sometimes get the impression that Hurst doesn't like strikers who just score goals and wants more from them. He dropped Connell, Hearn and Amond and also put Hearn on the wing for a while. Never dropped LJL that i can recall.

I don't blame Hursty for offering him a one year deal, in fact I remember that a couple were saying Offer Toto 3 years and Podge 1. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't tear any trees up next year. Shame we've lost 5 players I expected to keep after promotion and the sides they are signing for suggests Hartlepool are bankrollef big style.

In general, I don't believe a word printed in the Mail and this article gives me no reason to change this policy.

Podge great goalscorer at conference level but never cut it above previously and whilst I would have preferred to keep him and give him a chance at League 2 I think Bogle will outscore him over the coming Season.Good Luck Podge and thanks.UTM

By offering a one year deal, the club made the decision, not Amond. I hope everyone remembers that when they start tweeting him.

1 year deal a disgrace offered to a man who's goals took us back to the league.
