The Managerial Carousel: Clark leaves Hartlepool United but who is next? - National League Review

21 Sep 2026 · 1 h 11 min

Craig and Louis join up to discuss the latest weekend of National League action. The trio react to the first managerial casualty of the season as Lee Clark resigns after Hartlepool United's defeat at home to Worthing. They discuss whether Boreham Wood and Southend United are the two teams that could run away from the rest of the league after heavy wins against Harrogate Town and Gateshead respectively. The defeat for Gateshead raises questions about whether they will be in the search for a new manager soon.
