On Monday Adam Murray became the fourth victim of this season’s League Two Sack Race after the Stags gave him the boot after two years in charge, which subsequently ended his lengthy 14-year association with the Nottinghamshire outfit. The 35-year-old had overseen just one win from his last 11 fourth-tier games, with Saturday’s 4-0 hammering at the hands of Portsmouth leaving the struggling club down in 18th, just three points above the dreaded drop zone. Mansfield have confirmed that Under-21s head coach Mike Whitlow (10/1) and youth team manager John Dempster (16/1) will be placed in temporary charge of the first team while they hunt for a new gaffer. At this early stage it’s Evans who has been installed as the short-priced 1/8 (Sky Bet) frontrunner to replace Murray at Field Mill. Since leaving Leeds in the summer Evans has been linked with a plethora of clubs, including former club Rotherham, but for whatever reason he’s yet to return to management, although this could change if the Stags betting is to be believed. Other names in the mix include Dave Penney, the MK Dons linked Steve Cotterill and Forest Green Rovers gaffer Mark Cooper. ----------------- Mansfield Town enter talks with controversial manager BY ADAM ALLCROFT, NOV 15, 2016 http://the72.co.uk/68286/mansfield-town-enter-talks-with-controversial-manager/? Mansfield Town have started talks with Steve Evans according to a report from BBC Radio Nottingham. With the Stags currently 18th in Sky Bet League One, previous head coach Adam Murray decided to leave the club as he felt it was time for a change and so they are being forced to look for a new boss. And the man they have contacted almost straightaway is Evans. Evans has been unemployed after being the latest man to receive the axe at Leeds United, though he did well at Elland Road after steering them to a safe mid-table position. He has also had great success at other clubs such as taking Crawley Town into the Football League for the first time but most notably he experienced a double promotion while at Rotherham United which saw them return to the Sky Bet Championship way before anyone expected them to. For now, U21 head coach Mike Whitlow and youth team manager John Dempster will take temporary charge of the club and with Murray previously being a youth coach before being promoted to the head coach’s job, they will feel that they have a chance to get the job if they impress in this role. Evans isn’t the only one linked to the job though. Dave Penney, who is currently a coach at Southend United but hasn’t managed since 2011 when he was sacked as head coach of Bristol Rovers is also linked to the role while former Swindon Town boss Mark Cooper and ex-Sheffield Wednesday manager Dave Jones could also be set to take the hot seat. ----------------------------------- Former Leeds bosses Neil Redfearn and Steve Evans battling it out for Mansfield job NEIL REDFEARN is in contention to become the next Mansfield boss. By Jeremy Cross, Chief Sports Writer, 15th November 2016 http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/562129/Mansfield-Leeds-Neil-Redfearn-Steve-Evans Redfearn has emerged as a leading contender to take charge of the League Two outfit following Adam Murray's departure. Murray left the job on Monday after two years in charge, with the Stags 18th in the table. The club are now looking at candidates including Redfearn and have also made contact with Steve Evans. It creates the situation of two former Leeds bosses going head-to-head for the vacant role. It is understood the Stags could even unveil their new boss tomorrow - with Evans the favourite. Evans, 54, was sacked by Leeds in May and has twice won promotion from the fourth tier. But Redfearn is regarded as one of the brightest coaches in the game and will also hold talks with the Stags. ----------------- Rob Staton @robstaton (BBC Radio Sheffield) 3pm Understand Charlton and Mansfield talking to Steve Evans' representative.
