    Very surprised. Makes Mansfield as bad as us, unless, the drive for League 1 is being put on hold? All owners get pished off spending money in the end. Nolan???

    They've replaced him with a totally inexperienced manager. Suspect this is a cost saving measure and the money won't be so fast flowing

    Yep:

    Academy manager John Dempster has been appointed as first team manager and will be responsible for all of the club’s football operations.

    In a statement, chairman John Radford said: “It is with a heavy heart that we part company with David and his staff, however, the decision has been made with the best interests of Mansfield Town Football Club in mind.

    “Despite a season of progress, we were unable to fulfil our primary objective of earning promotion to League One, despite having a number of games to achieve this ambition.

    “We thank David and his staff for their tireless endeavours and part ways amicably. David and his staff have been highly professional throughout their tenures and we wish them genuine success in the future.”

    Commenting on the new appointment of John Dempster as manager, Mr Radford said: “In John, we have a man who is considered to be one of the brightest and most innovative young coaches in football.

    Does that mean they've chucked Abbott out as well?

    As someone else said on a different thread, he was one result away from automatic, and a penalty shootout away from Wembley. Seems mental to sack him - Notts-level mental.

    Are they copying our every move?

    Yep:


    Mansfield Town can announce that the contract of David Flitcroft as manager has been terminated.

    Head of football operations Greg Abbott, assistant manager Ben Futcher, goalkeeping coach Ian Pledger and performance analyst Dan Ashby have also been released from their positions.

    That sounds to me like the Radford's are looking to get rid. That's a lot of back room staff to get rid of, and to replace with sheer inexperience is quite mad

    Can only be a cost cutting exercise. How else can you explain it? Next thing will be an accidental photo of Carolyn with a dildo and then the club will be up for sale.
