The Hartlepool board were reluctant to let him join us

Hence they kicked up a bit of a stink.

Stephenson is a very highly-rated coach and they viewed him as potential top-class managerial material.

He did an excellent job with their youth team (winning the Dallas Cup if I remember rightly) and doesn't appear to be doing badly with our reserves.
