Here, we've taken a look at 10 potential candidates Hartlepool United should consider as the hunt for the 14th permanent appointment of chairman and owner Raj Singh's controversial tenure goes on.
9. Mike Williamson
Much like Rob Elliot, Williamson did a superb job at Gateshead, leading the Heed to the National League North title as well as the final of the FA Trophy, but struggled after stepping into the Football League with MK Dons and then Carlisle. Those two most recent stints have tarnished his managerial reputation somewhat while his time as a first team coach at Rangers under Russell Martin won't have done him too much good either but Pools shouldn't lose sight of his impressive past achievements in the National League and he could well be a decent appointment.

10. Lee Cattermole
The former Sunderland skipper, who spent 10 years at the Stadium of Light, has been strongly linked with the manager's job at Victoria Park over the last few days. While he knows the North East like the back of his hand, the 37-year-old has no managerial experience although he has worked as under-18s lead coach at Middlesbrough as well as a first team coach at Bristol Rovers.
