    Doncaster and Sheffield United fans have rung in tonight, all saying they are missing their very own BM. All very complementary towards him.

    The communications and generally the way out club is run is outstanding in my opinion. We're very lucky to have PC at the helm.

    It's not the first time the praise for Ben from fans of other clubs has been gushing and it's nice to hear.

    Its not too long back people on here hated him and he was '******** ben'. Personally I dont think he's brilliant but he's better than we've had in recent years.

    Yeah I mean he's made alot of mistakes, probably more than Rowing did for us. But at least we aren't in the situation Donny are in.

    Think he gets alot of praise on radio Sheffield is because he's always appears on it every now and then to answer the questions from the fans for example the ticketmaster situation. You don't hear from anybody else from the other clubs except the players and manager.

    You've got to be joking. Do you mean the chap that let every season ticket holder have 4 tickets for Anfield when we only had 8,000 tickets in total?
    The same bloke that said "How was he to know there'd be a demand for the FA Cup quarter final when we only took a 800 to Middlesbrough in a League Cup match" "Colchester stubs?"
    The chap that wrote back to me when I asked for something to raffle off at a charity event for a Barnsley lass saying they were "inundated" with this type of request so wouldn't contribute even though Sheff United, Rotherham, Wednesday and Donny did?
    Ben Mansford is streets ahead when it comes to handling the public.

    Rowing wasn't without his faults, but we never got relegated with him at the club. We've had relegation, numerous scoreboard fiascos, club crest fiasco, Ticketmaster, Under 21s match issues (catering/match delayed), inadequate Ponte car park lighting for years for safety, players still leaving on the cheap etc.

    Having spoken to Ben on a number of times I've always found him to be a really honest open bloke, he'll answer any question put to him, I think he's a cracking fella and we are lucky to have him at our club,

    Anyway, I didn't create this thread for people to have a go at him (or The Don), just to show how others see him and all want someone like him.

    I could have sworn many wanted him sacked when we were crap. What a fickle bunch some are.

    Hang on whilst I clear the spilt tea from my laptop screen ......

    Never met the guy personally, so can't dislike him but I've never been 100% about him within BFC. Most of what I say is in jest.
