Hartlepool United head coach Anthony Limbrick insists the focus is on football despite off-field events at the club.

Chairman Raj Singh resigned on Tuesday with immediate effect and wants to sell the club, who are 15th in the National League.

Singh has guaranteed that funds will be available to pay players and staff until the end of the season, but beyond that the future is uncertain.

"In football, there are a lot of uncertainties all the time and this is another example of that," Limbrick told BBC Radio Tees.

"It's business as usual for us. We need to focus on that and come together as a group and keep the group together and keep focused on what is happening moving forward."

Limbrick has spoken to his chairman following the announcement, but the Australian wants his players to concentrate on playing out the final 11 games of Pools' season.

"For us, it doesn't change day-to-day," he said. "Nothing affects the day-to-day of what we're having until the end of the season.

"That was the important bit and we're focused on that."
