They’re still playing for us but have been told they can leave. You should’ve asked him

Are they playing for free then given the lack of funds comment ? Or just been told there not being kept on once contracts are up ?

Zayn Hakeem is currently injured and so is Nyle Blake, who tweaked his hamstring in the recent Reserves game v Morecambe. I have spoken with all three of these players at the two most recent Reserves games, where they had turned up to watch their teammates in action.
As a step 7 non league side, the FA wouldn't allow Retford United to sign any of the Stags Academy lads (nor would Retford FC, who are a completely different side to the one that John Radford has invested in).
And finally, any speculation about there being a lack of funds for player development, is purely inaccurate conjecture.
I am sure that the names of any players who are coming up to the end of their time at Mansfield Town, will be announced officially at the end of March.

Glandular Fever can finish a sporting career. Lee Sharpe had it and I’ve had it and it nearly finished me off. Nasty stuff.

Thought it was the booze that did for Sharpe?
But aye, glandular fever isn't fun

With the lads frozen out by the manager it’s very difficult for the lads confidence .i spoke to Zayn and he has had an ankle problem for a little while but says he is fine now .We have a striker shortage and to me he ticks all the boxes .Big strong and fast.If he were languishing in the reserves at a championship club he would stand a chance .But hey ho is one of ours so not deemed good enough.
