Managerial Merry Go Round Spins Again

While there is unlikely to be any change in the Bulls' dugout before the new year, two of the featured candidates for the post are eyeing up other jobs while some new faces may be on the market by January.

Mansfield's decision to offload the once-prized David Holdsworth means Dave Penney is now the likely new man in the Field Mill hotseat. The former Doncaster boss watched the Stags play Hayes and Yeading on Saturday sat next to chairman John Radford - although the insurance millionaire has told the press the deal is not certain yet.

There may well be managerial vacancies at Oxford and Northampton in the next few weeks. At Oxford, one time Halifax boss Chris Wilder has found League management tough and sees the U's, who have the second highest average attendance in League Two, with one win and six losses in the last seven games.

Wilder's side are just goal difference above Northampton, where Ian Sampson faces more calls for his head after they crumbled 4-1 at Barnet and had another man sent off - their fifth in the last seven League games. That comes after winning three of their four previous matches but they remain just two points clear of the bottom of the table.

With there being just six points between 12th and 24th places in League Two, any manager faces being a hero or villain on the back of two results at the moment.
