The news broke at around 10am this morning that Stuart Watkiss had his contract terminated with immediate effect. This comes after winning only 1 in their last 9 games. In their last two games they have conceded 9 goals. Earlier this season Crewe started a trend that many clubs followed by beating the Stags 5-0 then a few weeks later put another 4 past them without reply in the LDV. His assistant Neil Richardson was also sacked from his position.
Mansfield might go into Saturdays game with no manager but rumours suggest Keith Curle is to be announced their new manager tomorrow afternoon.
