Mansfield manager Paul Holland found it difficult to control his emotions after Rotherham all-but condemned his side to non-league football.In Saturday's League Two clash at Field Mill, a freak 40-yard goal by substitute Jamie Yates left the Stags clinging to their Football League status as the home fans' anger spilled over as they vented their frustration at the board.

Holland wiped away the tears and said: "I am as disappointed as anyone. We are now relying on other people and have a slim chance of staying up. But I am very disappointed with things that happened on and off the pitch.

"I'm not ashamed to say we've shed a few tears. I will be at Stockport v Chester and I will say a few prayers beforehand. Whatever happens, I still think I am the person to bring this club back if we go down.

"I am very disappointed with what has been happening off the pitch this season and it has to be sorted out. It has made things difficult.

"We are in the bottom two for a reason. We have not been good enough all season. I can totally understand the fans' frustration. If we do go down, we have to come straight back up."
