HAPPIER TIMES:FGR chairman Dale Vince, Andy Mangan and David Hockaday
FOREST Green chairman Dale Vince has revealed his ‘disappointment ‘after the Football Association backed Andy Mangan’s claims of wrongful dismissal.
The Liverpool-based striker was suspended for disciplinary reasons under the tenure of ex-boss David Hockaday and had his three-year deal cancelled in February.
But the 27-year-old took his case to the Football Conference, who then overturned his dismissal and he returned to pre-season training in June before joining Shrewsbury Town in July.
However, Rovers continued their appeal to the Football Association.
Vince said: “We are disappointed in the decision of the FA, as we were in the original decision of the Conference, but we accept it."
