It happened because simply even though we only had one stand, at full capacity I believe it holds 5,500. Under Haslam we were never going to sell more tickets than that, so Haslam being the way that he is and seeing he could sell more away tickets, put all of us into the West Stand, even moving...

Lincoln signing a fair few wingers it seems.....will Nathan Arnold be ousted due to this? Got to feel sorry for him, he's reliable and always seems to do a job for a team to get them promoted back into the League (Cambridge, Grimsby and Lincoln) but then immediately gets let go and finds...

The WORST football manager to ever represent Mansfield Town, who was appointed simply because he lived local to Haslam and was his drinking buddy. He still makes appearances on social media having a drink with him to this very day. He hasn't got the foggiest what Haslam did to our club, because...

I fancy Fulham as an outside bet for promotion in the Championship. They played some lovely stuff last season and have managed to retain their best players too. Their gaffer has achieved promotion before with Watford too, and he's already turned Fulham around completely from when he took over.

It really beggars belief just how much wool Dave Allen has pulled over his eyes allowing all these clowns to run a football club with his money. Why it took so long to get rid of Turner is laughable. Every Spireite I know laid a lot of blame on his doorstep, yet he still remained in a job...

Posh fans describe him as a centre half, but Lincoln a centre mid? What is he exactly? Surprised Posh have let him go, makes no sense

They're desperate for a rival themselves. They like to make a big thing of it with us, but we couldn't care less about them when Chesterfield are around. Similarly, Lincoln are the same, their rivalry lies with Grimsby. You should start finding reasons to dislike each other.

I liked Yussuf, but he always seemed to have more of an impact coming from the bench than he did starting games. He was like Jake Speight in that respect, without the need to punch women in the face :lol: Clements has always been the more frustrating, when he's good, he's very good.....but that...

SOC what's the verdicts on Clemo, Rose and Yussuf? I assume they were signed on Moore's reccomendation, but he's now gone back to lovey-dovey hoofball with Paul Cox, so are they still rated/wanted?

Tommy Lee when fit, possibly....but I can't see him ever getting there after such a long lay off so it's a no from me. Evatt....if it was the Evatt of four years ago, possibly. Not a chance now I'm afraid. We have five centre halves currently better than him. The bloke can't run so you have no...

In terms of what we're supposedly shelling out for players too, Darragh McAnthony via twitter has said we're not spending daft money and our wages are quite reasonable. You can only assume it's topped up by incentives then, which is a big favourite of Evans'. So if we get promoted, the bill will...

OK, so seemingly it is only one Spireite poster who seems to believe your signings are going to turn you into the new Barcelona of league 2, like the good old heydays of Paul Cook. I do stand by my stance that I do not look upon your squad with any envy whatsoever though. I've witnessed many...

My point is, the tactical genius that is Caldwell has no ability to drastically change anything. If 5-3-2 has little or no success, you're screwed until January. And the last thing you want is Caldwell going into January in a mass panic. That worked wonders last time round :lol:

Who are Exeter going to be in for now that Watkins has gone I wonder?

You both play in blue, and can be abbreviated to CFC. That's well and truly where any comparisons end.

We actually have that many players and potential systems to choose from, that none of us have any idea how we're going to line up against Crewe yet. It's 110% safe to say that Chestefield will be playing 5-3-2 though, and you could probably pick their 11 and at worst maybe be 1-3 players wrong...

Worried :lol: For the first time in my entire Stags supporting life, I look at your squad without any envy whatsoever. On average in 28+ years of supporting Mansfield....at your worst, at least 5 or 6 of your squad would walk into our team and not only get regular football, they'd have been our...

My point exactly. No plan B. Caldwell has already proven his Plan A isn't up to much. Had more than enough time to save your season. He had the same transfer window as Evans did. We were 19th when Evans took over. We were four points off the playoffs by the end and would have been comfortably...

Not angry at all. I see plenty of Spireites proclaiming their signings to be as good (ODL proclaimed "if not better" :lol:) than ours..... I'm just debating how on earth he's come to that conclusion? I don't think any would be in with a sniff of our starting 11 as it currently stands. I'd...

No comment whatsoever on the fact you have no wingers apart from Mitchell ODL? The tactical "genius" of Caldwell setting you up to play one way and one way only? It's all well and good saying you've got rid of a load of players who couldn't give a toss.....isn't it the new manager's job to...
