Paul Holland succeeded Bill Dearden as Stags boss

Mansfield Town boss Paul Holland has admitted he did not have the final say on which players would leave the club.

The Stags announced last week that eight players had played their last matches at Field Mill, including goalkeeper Carl Muggleton.

Holland told BBC Radio Nottingham: "I put a budget into the people above me, and Carl was in the budget."

Meanwhile, defender Jonny Mullins' future at the club is unclear after he rejected the offer of a new contract.

Mullins, 22, was Mansfield's player of the season last year and is thought to have set his sights on staying in the Football League.

Meanwhile, Holland is yet to find out whether he will remain as Stags manager, following their relegation to the Blue Square Premier Division.
