"It's an absolute honour to be custodian of this club, it's the honour of a lifetime."
"I'm delighted with the response of the players, I'm delighted with the work ethic and the application of the players, I'm delighted with the character of the group, the determination, the togetherness."
"I've absolutely loved it. I'm going to work as hard as I can to give these fans the success they deserve."
"All the details we've been looking at for players have all come to fruition, I couldn't be happier with the squad we've got."
"Those types of tackles can be ones that open your knee up a bit but maybe, hopefully, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it was the initial strong impact that jarred it and it might settle down."
Hartlepool United head coach Lee Clark has lauded the "hungry" and "ambitious" Nathan Fisher after he became the club's 14th summer signing on Sunday.
"He's a young goalkeeper with outstanding potential who's come through one of the best academy systems in the country and we believe this is the right stage of his career to take the next step into senior football."
"You only have to look at what he did here last season. He was one of the best defenders in the National League and his performances showed exactly what he can bring to a team. When a player performs at that level and you get the chance to sign him permanently, it's one you want to make happen."
"I'm from the North East, so I know exactly the size of this football club and how much it means to the supporters. You can see the ambition around the club as soon as you walk through the door and that's something that really stood out to me."

"I've kept an eye on everything that's been happening since the end of last season and it's been exciting to see the progress the club has made, both on and off the pitch."
"I did still think there were lots of positives as well, some of our pressing was of the highest quality and we created numerous chances. I think the lads at least deserved to score a goal, if not more. It wasn't to be."

"If and when the right players become available, we can make a move and you'll find out then."
Hartlepool United head coach Lee Clark was "delighted" with the "terrific" Kian Foreman and Josh Donaldson after the pair impressed against Pools during Tuesday night's pre-season friendly with Hebburn Town.
"There are other aspects that are important, particularly in the early part of pre-season, but I've always said, even in some of the first games when the players were just getting 45 minutes each, that I wanted to win."

"We've waited for the right players to come, we haven't just taken any player. If that means we have to do the same with that position, we'll do that."

"The meeting I was in was really good, really productive, and I could tell it was headed in a positive direction. Beyond that, there's momentum there, it just needs to be followed up on and executed."
"That's the thing with Owen, in a few weeks time he'll be ready to come back in with the group and we're excited by him because he was really impressive in the first couple of days of training."
