Whoever is next into the hot seat will be chairman David Bosomworth’s tenth appointment as manager, following on from Jim Vince, Neil Aspin, Darren Kelly, Jim Harvey, Billy Heath, Jamie Fullarton, Pete Wild, Chris Millington and Lakeland.
We take a look at some of the potential candidates for the job.
9. Billy Barr
Has just performed a minor miracle in guiding Workington Town to survival in the Northern Premier League and would be a hugely popular choice with Town supporters given his links to the club. Photo: Pete Norton
10. John Coleman
Hugely experienced manager with various promotions under his belt. And has recent experience of the National League following a stint at Aldershot this season. Photo: Naomi Baker
11. Pete Wild
Currently involved in the League Two relegation battle at Tranmere but is only contracted there until the end of the season. Did a superb job in his three years at Halifax but alienated a section of the fanbase by his exit. Photo: Nathan Stirk
12. Neil Danns
Another with Halifax connections following a brief spell at the club under Pete Wild, he guided Southport to a mid-table finish in the National League North this season and to the semi-finals of the FA Trophy. Photo: Nathan Stirk
