Stelling says Singh is determined to prove to the North East footballing world that he is fit to run a club, despite perceived failings at rivals Darlington.
“He is happy his name is out in the public domain,” said president Stelling. “I just hope it is a positive reaction.
“One of the things that drove him away from that club was that the fans were negative, understandably so, although they did not know the whole story.
“That negativity disillusioned him. We weren’t too sure what the response would be but all I would say is that even thought I’d never met him until a few months ago, his intentions are to right a perceived wrong from Darlington.
“He wants to show that he can be the right type of person to run a football club and he has chosen that club to be Hartlepool.”


Want them to do well generally and I feel for all Poolies but Stelling and that horrible rotten fucker in charge are getting everything they deserve. Hope Challinor’s laughing his cock off at them on the final day if Stockport beat them to seal promotion.
Insane that Raj Singh is allowed anywhere near a football club.
