Stags indecision staggers Holland

Paul Holland [MTFC]
Holland says his future must be finalised soon

Mansfield Town manager Paul Holland says it is "ludicrous" that he is being asked to sort out players' contracts when he is not sure of his own future.

The Stags were relegated from the Football League in midweek when Chester secured a scoreless draw at Stockport.

Holland, who only took over as boss in March, is out of contract in the summer - as are the majority of his players.

"It's ludicrous that I'm expected to talk to players when I don't know myself," he told BBC Radio Nottingham.

"I can't see it being the right thing for the club that a new manager coming in would be starting off with an old manager's players or decisions."
