think there will be an uproar with northern fans especially in bury and macclesfield if southends punishment is seen as less severe.

Just heard that Scott Brown fractured his tibia & fibia during Warrington's game last night, the match was abandoned following his injury.
Poor lad, apparently it's a repeat of the injury he suffered while playing for Cheltenham back in 2007, best wishes for a good recovery Scott

Oh no, that is such bad news. Endorse your best wishes AccyMad to Scotty for a full recovery.

if he had left a week ago for another club those who sacked him would be saying, there is no loyalty in football.

Southend have apparently settled their tax debt & the winding up order has been dismissed

Hang on a minute - 4 wins in 27 games ?
Maybe he got what he deserved.
Just have a look at the money he was given and the turnover of players in the squad.

That's what happens when you have a ****** for a chairman telling lies up till the final hour money raised apparently with council something to do with land sales and new stadium. Should be fined for late payment of tax.

Another club that throws money down the drain then blames manager they picked to turn club around. Mind you couldn't happen to a better club hated going there and history of fans causing a bit of bother at our place.

This is the problem that football has when getting the begging bowl out.
Every owner tarred by the same brush so the genuinely impoverished don't get a hand out.
We deserve as a sport all we get.
No doubt he's run this down to the wire hoping for a Grant from the government or a Premier league hand out.

So it's all the club's fault is it ?
He had a good cv.
He's failed 4 in 27.
He's sacked.
Reckon that's a lot to do with the individual.
He told them the squad needed a complete change.
They backed him.
Correct decision Mansfield.

That's why there won't be a government bailout and in some ways I can see where they are coming from.

Can't see Graham being too bothered he will be paid off I should imagine, but Mansfield fans usually turn on the owners they have done before interesting to see who takes the " hot" seat now.
