"From our point of view, it's good news that Matt wants to stay with us and his head hasn't been turned, so to speak. "We're fully focussed on Leyton Orient tomorrow and if Matt's selected to play I'm sure he will put in a fighting performance for Mansfield Town. He has been a big part of this club and is a part of the furniture and he wants to stay here." The boss added that chairman John Radford is determined to keep Stags' best players and insisted that the owner doesn't want Mansfield to be 'a selling club.' "Matt has told me that he doesn't want to leave. We've both sat down with the chairman and the chairman wants Matt to finish his career at Mansfield Town and that will be taken care of in due course." "Being the Mansfield Town man that he is, the chairman has said that we don't need to sell our best players and Matt is one of them. "We want to be successful this season and in the next few years and that means keeping your best players."
