Steve Evans has resigned as manager of Mansfield Town.
Whether the decision came following his comments after Saturday's 1-1 draw with the Sky Blues is not clear but Mansfield have said:
Mansfield Town Football Club can announce that it has reluctantly accepted the resignations of manager Steve Evans and his assistant Paul Raynor.
In a statement, chairman John Radford said: “Whilst I am disappointed by their decision, there are no individuals bigger than Mansfield Town Football Club and the process of appointing a new management team which can lead the club to League One is already underway.
“Mansfield Town Football Club has progressed year-upon-year in recent seasons both on and off the field.
“The club has a fantastic, encouraging and vociferous fanbase; a loyal, patient and supportive board of directors and a dedicated and hard-working team of behind-the-scenes staff.
“With this in mind, along with our current healthy standing in Sky Bet League Two, the vacant post of manager at One Call Stadium is surely one of the most attractive in the English Football League.
“Our ambitions of promotion this season remain as fervent and steadfast as ever and we will leave no stone unturned in our process of appointing the right manager to lead our talented squad of players.”
Update, Evans has been heavily linked with the vacant manager's job at Peterborough United.
