Why was Mangan released?
He was on a bumper wage at forest green, suprised he has walked away from it.

I don't think he 'walked away from it'. And, yes, rumours are that he was on £3,000/week at FGR. He's been suspended by the club since October but nothing has been said about the background to that. Now his contract has been terminated, maybe everyone can move on although, apparently, there's an appeal pending...

Re: Policing of Football
 

Was not aware he was suspended and for such a long time.
Presume there is something bigger than purely football reasons as to why he was released.

Perhaps he refused to be a vegetarian?

Andy Mangan's now on loan at Luton Town who are top of the Conference but wasn't even on the bench for tonight's away win at Dartford:

Just checking the excellent Bulls News for the latest on Hereford and came across this, which I've copied in full:

Forest Green have had their sacking of striker Andy Mangan overturned. The 27 year old was suspended last year before being dismissed, but his appeal saw him temporarily reinstated and join Luton on loan. The former Fleetwood forward has two years left on his contract, rumoured to be worth £3,000 a week.

There's a piece on the BBC too:
