Stags for Sale

Mansfield Town are now officially up for sale, in what turned out to be dramatic end to Thursday….

With news knocking around that the club needs 3,000 supporters through the turnstyles each home game, just to break even, and with a loss announced at the recent AGM, it was obvious something was going to give, and soon enough it has.

With news also that ex chairman Andy Perry was being chased for his £125,00 buy in fee, from the deal that took the club from the clutches of previous owner Keith Haslam, Steve Middleton, Steve Hymas and new chairman Andy Saunders, all tried to keep the club afloat.

But it marks another sad day for the football club.

A club Statement Read:

After a lengthy Board Meeting at Field Mill, it has been decided that Mansfield Town Football Club is to be put up for sale.

The Board believe David Holdsworth, the manager, has assembled a squad capable of returning to the Football League which currently sit in a healthy position in the top three of the Blue Square Bet Premier.

The Board believe they have taken the club as far as they can and now is the ideal time for someone new to takeover the helm and move the club to the next level.

‘Anyone wishing to have the exciting prospect of owning an established football club with a dedicated fanbase should approach the club and express an interest as soon as possible to help maintain the good start to the season.’

We at Mansfield Vital, would like to thank the current board of Directors, for trying their hearts out to make the deal work, and good luck in selling on the club we all love!
