I would say that it could destabilise Mansfield’s season, but as we know when Steve Cotteril came in Jan 2010 if you have a decent squad then it does not always work like that. If they do something similar and get a decent manager out of work until the end of the season they could still go up. Otherwise they may have to pay compensation for an in work manager.
I’d also think that by the time we play them the new manager will be in place.
But should they have a wobble and go into a post Evans sulk, like when our players went into a post Curle sulk, then by the time we play them it might be a good opportunity for us to capitalise.
