I was asked tonight, to post this. And I don't mind doing so. There is no working relationship between Appleton and Mansford. Ben works for BFC and BFC only. He was his agent previously, that's true. But he was also the agent of Fabien Delph (a Bradford lad) but that doesn't mean he'll be arriving at Oakwell. In fact, from what I can gather, we can definitely rule out Appleton. You Reds etc.
Cheers YT, I'm not surprisd and I never thought Appleton was anywhere near a short list, not just because he's a dick but because he is a poor manager.
He was at Bloomfield Road on Saturday working as a FA Scout. Watching T.Ince, C.Wickham (under 21's) and Tyler Blackett (under 19's)
I posted a thread on here at the weekend which included a link that pretty much confirmed he used to act as Skeletor's agent. Ben was at the match last night, he made it clear to a group of supporters who asked about the situation that he had no working relationship anymore with Skele bob. One of those supporters asked me to post this thread, to clear things up. Which I have. And we move on. You Reds.
Can't see Mansford saying anything in public to a group of blokes at a football match, about an ongoing managerial appointment. Sound like a load of big talk to me... "Oooh listen to what Mansford's just told me....." BS
