Just heard that Scott Brown fractured his tibia & fibia during Warrington's game last night, the match was abandoned following his injury.
Poor lad, apparently it's a repeat of the injury he suffered while playing for Cheltenham back in 2007, best wishes for a good recovery Scott

Oh no, that is such bad news. Endorse your best wishes AccyMad to Scotty for a full recovery.
if he had left a week ago for another club those who sacked him would be saying, there is no loyalty in football.
Southend have apparently settled their tax debt & the winding up order has been dismissed
And as if by magic they pay the bill.
Hang on a minute - 4 wins in 27 games ?
Maybe he got what he deserved.
Just have a look at the money he was given and the turnover of players in the squad.
That's what happens when you have a ****** for a chairman telling lies up till the final hour money raised apparently with council something to do with land sales and new stadium. Should be fined for late payment of tax.
Another club that throws money down the drain then blames manager they picked to turn club around. Mind you couldn't happen to a better club hated going there and history of fans causing a bit of bother at our place.
This is the problem that football has when getting the begging bowl out.
Every owner tarred by the same brush so the genuinely impoverished don't get a hand out.
We deserve as a sport all we get.
No doubt he's run this down to the wire hoping for a Grant from the government or a Premier league hand out.
So it's all the club's fault is it ?
He had a good cv.
He's failed 4 in 27.
He's sacked.
Reckon that's a lot to do with the individual.
He told them the squad needed a complete change.
They backed him.
Correct decision Mansfield.
That's why there won't be a government bailout and in some ways I can see where they are coming from.
Can't see Graham being too bothered he will be paid off I should imagine, but Mansfield fans usually turn on the owners they have done before interesting to see who takes the " hot" seat now.
He will be bothered. Proud man Coggie and a dream move for him to get back nearer the family being based in Sheffield moving from Bristol to Mansfield.
However stats dont lie.

Southend sit bottom of league 2 after drastically reducing their wage bill by getting rid of most big earners settle tax bill and still have a players wage bill of over £2 million twice that is Stanley, ok in normal times fans through the gate are a lot more than Stanley but just shows what spending above your means does chasing promotion and dreams when it goes wrong managers usually get the blame and get sacked, they have managed to wriggle there way through this time wonder if they will learn a lesson.
in this case you are right. however there are plenty of other managers who have got the boot where there club is in the play off positions but not top of the league. if i was a football manager i,d be off like a shot for a better offer. you do not know whats round the corner at your present club and some club owners get itchy if their team has a poor run of results. football and loyalty are bad bed fellows both sides of the coin.
If you were a football manager you would know precisely how it pans out.
If you want loyalty (both sides) buy a dog.
Enough managers have also walked away from clubs when doing well.

Sums up to me the core of most football problems money or lack of it exapparated by the pandemic but the problems of mounting debt through the pursuit of glory were already there and now it's reaching crisis point, end of October and the furlong scheme which a lot of clubs have still been using for a lot of non match day staff or others, plenty of redundancy,s will be imminent, manager,s could become vunerable to other factors than just form.
