Absolutely disgraceful, Barnsley FC..

Ben Mansford isn't.

 

He's not running things.

 

He is. He runs the club for PC.

 

CEO I'm sure he got a say on the matter

Cryne's ship, Cryne's the captain. Mansford's merely a deckhand. And like Rowing before him, the bullet proof vest.

 

Yeah but I doubt he listens to Player or is the one to have sacked them.

 

If he's on the board now, with Barry and Patrick, then I'm sure he'll have his say, yes. But everything will go through Cryne first. I can't imagine this commentary issue has been something Ben's dreamed up and implemented without both the knowledge and go ahead from Patrick.




Only a few weeks ago that we saw Mark Crossley depart, citing 'people upstairs' as the issue.

 

He has no need for Player, gets the games streamed to his home as all owners do. Unless he's at the game of course, which hasn't been often over the last few years due to his health issues.

You might all be right. It might well just be Ben's doing, but those sacked say not..

 

Not wrong there. Since taking over from Rowing the only thing that's changed his we've been relegated. Club store is still crap. We still have Lindleys. He's managed to worm is way in with the fans so they are more likely to stick up for him. No comment from him about the catering shambles from the under 21 match. Said two years ago we were getting a scoreboard. The list goes on and on.

 

Chief Executive is not really a deckhand. PC maybe captain of the ship but hasn't he said that he leaves the likes of Ben and Don before him to run it.

 

Whoever's responsible it's ridiculous. I hope the decision is reversed like the badge fiasco.

 

The FA were in charge of that. They take over the club for 48 hours don't they?

 

Mansford out then.

 

Let's see what the reasons given are, I'm sure they'll have some excuse. Probably "other clubs do this". Just like we have the same home strip as other clubs. We're run by wallies if you ask me, the lot of em.

 

I'm not sure Andy. I've heard conflicting views on this.

 

No idea. But if we had nothing to do with it if I was Ben Mansford i'd have spoke of it ASAP so people knew it so I stopped being blamed. He's been here two years and already the list of bad can cover a couple of dozen points between the things we've both mentioned and others like the new club crest shambles.

 

I really appreciated him doing the Bradford walk and he comes across as a nice bloke to me.

But I totally accept that on paper, we've either gone backwards or remained stood still since he arrived.

 

Tbf we'd probably have stood still or gone backwards if we'd employed the genie from aladdin as ceo.

 

I wish I could do the same, but r lass needs it for the Huddersfield games she can't get to.
