Advertising has you a strong field if press reports are correct. You face 2 issues

1. Appoint the best person for the job irrespective of cost
2. Appoint the cheapest to save money.

Appointing the best is an art not a science. As they say in the stock market past performance does not = future performance. The person has to care about the club and personally will doing everything not to fail. People skills are of the essence.

The 'save money' option fans may accept if the money saved is spent on 2 quality signings. Bates and Parnaby with Buster Gallagher as fitness coach would be your cheapest option both under contract for next season.

Decide if you want a manager or save 2 salaries and use for signings! That is your choice! Good luck and if necessary have a second and even a third interview with a final short list of your top 2. If it takes another 10 days so be it.

Sure Pam really appreciates this.

Now we know what the hold up was, they were waiting for balltofeet's advice before making the decision.

'The person has to care about the club and personally will doing everything not to fail. People skills are of the essence.'

Who's to say that isn't Bates then? He's also cheap. Have cake and eat it. See also Sam Collins.

(I don't think it should be Bates or Sam btw!!)

Thanks for that. I will pass your concerns on to the rest of the panel.

For a start , would the best be applying to manager Hartlepool in the first place?

90% of those applying will be called Des Parado. That leaves just 10%, of which we have to find the best at whatever cost.

Even then its only 1 man and possibly his mate, to oversee a club with little structure or ambition or more importantly money.

We have come far down the wrong road imo, only a complete overhaul can stop the rot, a Sugar Daddy owner or a fully owned by a Supporters Trust, that changes everything from top to bottom.

A cracking new manager may slow down the decline , but to think one man with no money can get us back to where we were even 5 year ago is ludicrous.

(1) Yes why not, the best they can be at a professional level, at a professional club to prove themselves and maybe gain a job at a higher paid level through it.
(2) Personally not bothered about the Nationality of the next Manager.
(C) A cracking new manager may also expedite the return to league football.
(4) in context with your earlier part of this sentence, how do you know the new manager has no money?????
(3) Why at whatever cost, I'm sure there are some out of work managers looking for a job?

(2) does not refer to overseas foreign types, it means "the unemployed"
