Hartlepool United Football Club has today parted company with manager Simon Grayson.
Â
Following discussions yesterday evening and a board meeting this morning, it became clear that expectations with performances and results have not been met.
Â
Obtaining one win in the last 11 games falls short of the required standard; therefore, the Board of Directors have collectively made the extremely difficult decision to relieve Simon of his duties.
Â
The Board wishes to thank Simon for his efforts and wish him the very best in his future endeavours.
Â
Nicky Featherstone, aided by Elliott Dickman and Adam Smith, will take control of the team for the interim period, starting with Tuesday night’s FA Cup Replay at home to Gainsborough Trinity.
