00:00There's been even more drama at Hartnepool United, this time in the dugout, following the club's decision to replace head coach Anthony Limbrick with experienced manager Simon Grayson.
00:10The writing seemed to be on the wall for the charismatic and energetic Australian last week, when Pools were linked with a move for Boston United boss Graham Coughlin.
00:20He leaves the club having won just five of his 17 matches in charge.
00:23While that might not be the most spectacular record, it discounts the fact that he also had to navigate one of the most challenging periods in the club's recent history off the pitch in the wake of the sudden and unexpected resignation of chairman and owner Raj Singh.
00:38Thrust in at an unexpected time after Lenny Lawrence's decision to take a step back, following a run of four games without a win, Limbrick inspired a 2-1 win over Sutton in his opening game in charge, but then endured a run of eight games without a win.
00:52True, there were problems. Limbrick chopped and changed both his formation and his team selection, but there was a run of six games without defeat, following a thumping win over Boston United, as Pools pulled clear of the relegation zone.
01:08There were some positive signs towards the end of the campaign, not discounting a 5-1 morning at the hands of Rochdale on the final away game of the season in front of 700 travelling Pools fans.
01:19Pools beat rivals Gateshead with a particularly impressive performance, while Limbrick got the best out of young players like Louis Stevenson and Reyes Cleary.
01:27He is now replaced by experienced Simon Grayson, a serial promotion winner, who's taken charge of the likes of Leeds, Huddersfield, Blackpool and Preston North End.
01:39However, he hasn't managed in England since 2021 and has never managed in non-league.
01:45Most recently, he's been in charge of teams in the Indian Super League and the Nepal Super League, where he won the title in April.
01:53In a statement, Raj Singh said that Grayson had previously been his preferred candidate in prior appointments.
02:01He now lands his man on an initial two-year deal.
02:04Grayson certainly has plenty of work to do.
02:07Pools have lost ground on a number of their National League rivals and have only 10 players under contract.
02:12It's set to be a busy few weeks for Simon Grayson and Hartlepool United.
