Mansfield suspend boss Curle

Last updated : 11 November 2004 By Luke Thornhill
Curle has been told to stay away from the club until an internal investigation is completed, though the Stags will not reveal what the allegation is.

Assistant boss John Gannon is also on gardening leave, and will not be at Field Mill for Saturday's FA Cup first round game with Colchester United.

Palmer said: "I am looking after the team until Monday while the situation is resolved. I don't know any more than that.

"It is a very difficult situation at the moment, and I can't comment further."

A Stags club statement read: "It is expected the enquiry should be at an end by Monday, and hopefully an exonerated Keith Curle can report back to duty as normal."
