Squad3 Jan 2028

Louis Bonser damages knee ligaments — 25 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 25 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market3 Jan 2028

Mansfield Town say no — this time

The offer from Huddersfield Town for Steve Seddon was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market3 Jan 2028

Ty Barnett puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Mansfield Town, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad3 Jan 2028

Eliot Matazo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match1 Jan 2028

3 matches without a goal for Mansfield Town

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Loan watch3 Jan 2028

Regan Hendry has seen enough of Northampton Town

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Mansfield Town, and 5 appearances in 18 say he has earned the hearing.

Match1 Jan 2028

Plymouth Argyle take the points off Mansfield Town

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Match28 Dec 2027

Reading take the points off Mansfield Town

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout3 Jan 2028

No hiding place for Liam Thompson

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Liam Thompson, and the manager let it.

No deal for Bae Jun-Ho at that price

Mansfield Town offered $6.4M; Stoke City said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Market9 Aug 2027

Louis Reed hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Mansfield Town can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets9 Aug 2027

Mansfield Town bid $820.0K for Johnson Osong

The offer went to Derby County this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Boardroom9 Aug 2027

Mansfield Town go back to the board over Johnson Osong

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $940.0K — a club that wants Johnson Osong enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets9 Aug 2027

An offer of $320.0K for Danny Welbeck

Mansfield Town have gone to Chelsea with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Eliot Matazo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Lyen Ferrant in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Mansfield Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout9 Aug 2027

Liam Roberts gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Liam Roberts is on it.

Market9 Aug 2027

Mansfield Town and Nathan Moriah-Welsh are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Transfer targets2 Aug 2027

Too dear: Mansfield Town walk away from Danny Welbeck

$450.0K was the most the club would pay and Chelsea were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Transfer targets2 Aug 2027

An offer of $120.0K for Danilo Orsi

Mansfield Town have gone to Crawley Town with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad2 Aug 2027

A falling-out at Mansfield Town

Ben Garrity and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Nathan Moriah-Welsh falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Home is on Mauricio Di Gubio's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Mansfield Town are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Market2 Aug 2027

Still no ink between Mansfield Town and Ben Garrity

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Mansfield Town, another week without a signature from Ben Garrity.

Market2 Aug 2027

Mansfield Town sign Lyen Ferrant, one for the future

Lyen Ferrant is 18, and Mansfield Town have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

The dugout2 Aug 2027

No hiding place for Tibet Durakçay

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Tibet Durakçay, and the manager let it.
