    Mansfield sack manager

    Mansfield Town have sacked manager David Flitcroft after just over a year in charge following their defeat in the League Two play-off semi-finals.

    Yep not good enough

    It always amazes me when clubs sack managers that are relatively successful, particularly less glamorous clubs playing in the lower leagues.

    Just who can they replace him with that can guarantee to be any better?

    Mansfield looked good in the pre-season friendly against us. For their resources, they have had a good season and only just missed out on promotion. Anything other than promotion seems to be regarded as failure at that level now by the people who own the clubs.

    Talking of Mansfield, their number 25 Turner is a 'house side' of a player and looked very well com-posed throughout the game. Reminded me of McIntosh or Swailes. Solid as a rock, marshalled the back line well and gave his all with both head and boot from set pieces.

    This is the type of player that typifies the kind of solid player we should be looking at, that will not cost a kings ransom to buy.

    Ex-Premier League player. I remember him playing for Burton when they played Man City earlier on this season.
    Mansfield only signed him till the end of the season. If he’s not signed a new deal he will be as ‘ cheap as chips ‘

    Watched both play off games and Newport got a penalty in the first leg when the Mansfield keeper was supposed to have brought a player down but he actually got the ball and it was never a pen. Without that poor decision Mansfield would probably be in the final and the manager on the brink of being a hero.
