Ben Mansford....

It's his job?

 

It might be his job to try and persuade somebody to sign, but who's to say it wasn't meeting Danny that persuaded them?

 

Early recruitment.

Being relegated and then finishing in mid table mediocrity is not consolidation.

We need about 8-10 players. We've brought in two who are both gambles.

We have not progressed off the field either but apart from that everything is going perfectly.

 

All signings are a gamble.

 

Some with better odds than others.

 

Still a gamble. Glad you agree.

 

True but who'd have predicted that Mido, Frimpong, Lita, Jennings, Treacy, Shea, and many others would be complete flops.

 

First thing I did when I heard Mido was signing was go on to eBay and buy an Egyptian flag. Waste of £3.99.

 

£3.99 would have been too much for Mido (and I include wages in that valuation).

 

I Tweeted him asking for a refund but received no reply. It's now in the hands of my lawyer.

 

I think you have a very strong case. If it goes to court and I was the judge I'd do him for contempt.

 

And fraud.

 

THE free kids tickets are for bringing future paying fans through and a big part of their day out is gerrin summat from the refreshment kiosks and it also recoups funds back to the club. So whilst it aint high on everyones agenda, mine included, well run and efficient catering is whats needed because as I say these are the fans and pie eaters of the future.

Consistently good football will bring in more fans but thats been thin on the ground for some time now.

 

Oh, definitely.

I'd rather be finishing below Rochdale after a whole season than smashing Leeds up in the second tier.

Well done, Ben. That's progress.
