Here are nine days that defined Hartlepool United’s season:
9. April 27th, 2024
There was still time for more drama after the curtain had come down on the regular National League season. On Saturday morning, it was announced that Kevin Phillips had left the club at the end of his contract after just three months in charge; his win record, by percentage, was bettered only by promotion-winning boss Dave Challinor when compared to the previous 10 permanent managerial incumbents. Former Stevenage, Yeovil and Woking boss Darren Sarll was announced as his replacement a quarter-of-an-hour after his departure, with the new manager expressing his desire to close the gap to the play-off places in his first official interview.
