Yep a bit dour and lack of personality but a god for us , tainted slightly by his snide low ball bid for Robert Lee cos he knew we needed dough to get back to The Valley
Just doing his job to be honest. Tye club saw it for what it was and got £700,000 and kept the last three letters of lee's first name

He did a terrific job as Charlton manager, but I always felt he talked the club down a bit too much but I think that is his character. It doesn't take away from his achievements.

We were punching above our weight though.
First home game in the top flight (at the supermarket) we beat the league champions.
That’s like Ipswich beating Man City in today’s world.

I thought we drew 1 1 with Sheffield Wednesday?
Beat Everton 3-2 as I recall, Melrose hat trick maybe.

That wasn’t until later in the season mate (October I think)

It was a 1-1 draw with Sheff Wed, wasn't it?
My brother in law was one if the mascots and yes it was 1-1
It was 1-1 against Weds - Rob Lee scored its etched on my memory because my wife chose that day ( our first game back in the first division after 28 years ) as our wedding day …..

Okay. Season started much later back then (again, as I recall), so to rephrase my original point.
We were punching above our weight, we beat the champs early on in our first season back.

I feel like it made sense at the time. Sarll's first season at Woking was pretty incredible and they finished 4th in the NL despite being Woking. He had a total collapse the next season but a lot of that was down to some pretty rancid recruitment and they ended up finishing 17th despite getting rid of him in November. His style is fairly miserable but he's capable of putting some decent strings of results together with the right players. Hard to get that at NL level though

Largely impressive at Woking but it went to shit fairly quickly when he was found out I think.
Since coming in to Hartlepool there has been hardly any communication with the scouts and so we are just looking at opposition as opposed to targeting anyone specific. There were no instructions really in terms of the recruitment. Not necessarily just down to the manager but from what I've heard from the fans and some of the staff there the football was dire. For a club who should be one of the bigger teams in the division they are in a shocking state at the moment with an owner desperate to get out

Why wasn't Kevin Phillips kept on?
We don't know. Difference of opinions with the board I believe

Funnily enough I didn’t. I’ve recommended a few players but they haven’t done anything. i suggested him last season when he wasn’t playing but they did nothing. Maybe they kept him on file - who knows.
hes not had much chance to impress yet but hopefully will get more minutes under a new, smarter, manager
'Paul Murray was sacked after winning just one of his first seven games,
the highlight of Dave Jones' infamous tenure was when he ate a sausage
sandwich at his unveiling, Craig Harrison's wife had to cook the team
meals and wash the kits, while Richard Money left the club after being
verbally abused in a fish and chip shop.'

Lennie back in charge at Hartlepool.
Hartlepool United’s Board can confirm that they have today parted company with Manager Darren Sarll.
Lennie Lawrence will take over manager duties in the interim supported by the existing football staff.
