Why the pragmatic Pete Wild could be exactly the safe pair of hands Hartlepool United need

The role of Hartlepool United manager has become something of a poisoned chalice in recent years.
Indeed, since promotion-winning boss Dave Challinor, who led Pools back to the Football League via a heart-stopping National League play-off final in June 2021, left to take charge of Stockport County in November of that same year, the club have had a staggering 17 different managers, head coaches and caretakers.
Of those, none have come close to matching Challinor's success; indeed, few have fared particularly well at all.
Challinor's immediate successor, former Pools defender Graeme Lee, was sacked before the end of the 2021/22 campaign despite overseeing memorable runs to the fourth round of the FA Cup, setting up a lucrative trip to Premier League Crystal Palace, as well as the semi-finals of the Football League Trophy.
