A Hartlepool United player has brutally claimed he's not stunned to see former Celtic and Hearts midfielder Paul Hartley sacked by the club.
It's been a bruising few days for the ex- Scotland international, who has been relieved of his duties at the English League Two club. He only took the reins at the club in the summer following a spell at Scottish Championship side Cove Rangers.
Club chairman Raj Singh claimed in the aftermath of the sacking which took place 10 games into the league season that he didn't know who former Celtic player Hartley was prior to appointing him. Hartlepool are yet to win a match and a current star player has added insult to injury.
