Responding on the Courier’s social media pages, Shaymen fans have been putting their suggestions forward for who they would like to take over the role.
Here are some of the names they came up with.
5. John McGrath
The former Aston Villa, Burton Albion and Doncaster Rovers midfielder spent eight years as manager of Mickleover before becoming Buxton boss in May 2024. Guided them into the National League North play-offs, where they beat Scarborough 4-2 in their eliminator tie before losing at South Shields. Photo: Mark Thompson
6. Mike Williamson
Did a great job at Gateshead, achieving promotion into the fifth tier and establishing them as promotion contenders with an attractive style of play, but was less successful in spells at MK Dons and Carlisle. Photo: Getty Images
7. 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
8. Nicky Featherstone
Restored some pride and stability to Hartlepool this season as interim coach in his first management role, and narrowly missed out on reaching the play-offs. Photo: Pete Norton
