Sounds like we may get some compo. This from Mansfield owner John Radford
JR: "I must say thank you to Swindon Town. They've conducted themselves excellently. We agreed terms with them and then got to speak to David from about 4.00pm yesterday."

Managers who've left us for other clubs, rather than being sacked..... Danny Williams.... Sheffield Wednesday Lou Macari.... West Ham Ossie Ardiles... Spurs Glenn Hoddle...Chelsea Colin Todd... Derby County Dennis Wise/Gus Poyet.... Leeds Paul Sturrock... Plymuff Paolo di Canio... Sunderland David Flitcroft... Mansfield  Di Canio didn't leave us for the Mackems, he only surfaced there well over a month after leaving Swindon.... |

There’s only so much compensation you get for a guy with a few months left on his contract!

True, also Ardiles left for Newcastle but was told he could go before he was sacked and Todd left us to be assistant manager not manager. |

BTW if the game this weekend is postponed and we don't play until next Saturday is there not a possibility that Taylor actually won't manage a game, the statement doesn't seem to suggest that he has been appointed till the end of the season or anything like that and instead suggests that we are looking for a manager.

However as it says, managers who left us for other clubs, rather than being sacked, of which Todd was one such, as was Ossie. I don't think Roy Evans or KMac took on another club after leaving us. |

Taking the role of Player Manager is difficult but not impossible as long as he has somebody on the touchline that he trusts for judgement of on pitch matters.
I think if Taylor is going to be PM long term we need to get a decent assistant appointed ASAP, its needs someone with nous sat in the dug out - whats John Gorman doing these days? |

This comment makes me genuinely laugh out loud on the Mansfield forum. All this talk from the Swindon fans about Hoofball… Perhaps it's because Flitcroft decided that style suits that group of players. With the players he's got here who's to say we won't continue to play it on the floor. Sounds more like sour grapes to me. He bought the whole fucking team so bought them to play a style rather than changing his style to suit the players! |

The Gorman style was perfect as assistant, less so as actual manager, but yes that sort of experience would be ideal is Taylor is to play as PM, more of a role for Pat Fenlon maybe? (sorry to keep mentioning him but he is already on Powers wage bill so it won't be a new wage added). |

Maybe Taylor knows someone in the game he trusts and he will ask to assist him while he is in charge.
I bet Sol Campbell has already been on the phone
