Re: Match Day Thread: Mansfield
Very Grange Hill, but probably in the years before it finally got canned
Re: Today...
I was at Gigg Lane that day. Let's be honest, the game should never really have gone ahead
Re: Magnus Westergaard signs
Agreed and I doubt the the new lads will have clearance to play yet. I would go Bishop, Grimmer, Bradley, Low, Harvie, Scowen, Humphries, Leahy, Kodua, Kone, Fred
Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
I kind of feel the need to repeat we really don't know what goes on at any club, the conversations that take place, how people are encouraged or discouraged, included or undermined but it is pretty clear MB wasn't entirely happy, and he also took an opportunity.
Reality is also he's won nothing, not taken a club up, maybe steered a couple away from the drop not that we should have been near it. He'll need to do well at Luton to last the season out and risks his progression but it's his choice.

Re: New Manager Vote
If we're going Danish and want to show our intent then shurely names in the hat should include Michael Laudrup, Morten Olsen, and Kasper Hjulmand

Re: Matt Bloomfield to Luton?
To some extent but there's a difference in being presented with options and directors signing players on their own and now when we don't even have a manager in place. Some of those Prem clubs allow the managers input on the recruitment team appointments and others work very closely with the manager who might still have final say or a vote amongst 3 or 4.
It's all very different for someone who was in charge, had brought with him a recruitment specialist, and had already some success with the players he has brought in. Blooms made a hash of his first window, KVY and Keogh came with pedigree but without the legs and he maybe over indexed on experience but since then he's done great.

Re: Match Day Thread: Mansfield
Not sure about their badge - especially the MFTC text (before any one says I know its MTFC but thats not what it says)
Re: Today...
Someone mentioned the Bury game, 10 years ago. It was a rare away game for me (while visiting a friend locally for his 60th birthday). The game was in doubt due to the snow. Bury’s goal arose due to a rare mistake by Alfie Mawson (who tried to play refined football in the box, annd slipped) and the equaliser was a brilliant solo goal from a young Fred O.
