Mansfield Town appoint youngest chief executive in English football

 

 

Carolyn Still Still is a politics graduate from the University of Durham

 

Mansfield Town have appointed the youngest chief executive in English football.

 

Carolyn Still, 29, has previously worked in the fashion industry for Bulgari and Gucci.

 

She succeeds Steve Barker, who has accepted a new position within chairman John Radford's company, One Call Group.

 

"It's a great privilege. I intend to add vibrancy and fresh ideas to our approach off the field," Still told the club website.

 

"Having attended numerous fundraising events, organised by the club's supporters' groups, I am well aware of the passion and enthusiasm that the fans have to see the Stags succeed.

 

"I want to wake sleeping fans with a lot of different initiatives by liaising with them and finding what they want.

 

"Much work has been done to develop relationships with key businesses in and around the area, and we must continue to work hard to ensure that our off-the-field commercial activity increases in an attempt to make the club self-sustainable."

 

 

 

That's young for a CEO

 

Bet she's a right S*ag.

 

Mind you, I wouldn't fuck it with yours tbh.

 

Bit of a 5 o'clock shadow on her upper lip there.

Zamblera's left the club by mutual consent. And we needed a striker too.

So out of all those foreign kids we brought in around the time of the Wise era, only Vuckic looks like he'll make it. Poor.

 

On a similar note however, this kid will surely be a future star with a name like that.... http://www.nufc.co.uk/page/Teams/AcademyPl...2425436,00.html

Youngest footie boss Carolyn Still was an escort

New club exec’s saucy past

 

By TOM WELLS

 

 

A WOMAN who became the youngest boss of an English football club used to be an ESCORT, The Sun can reveal.

 

Glamorous Carolyn Still, 29, enjoyed steamy dates with scores of male punters before landing the top job at Mansfield Town FC.

 

Carolyn was on the books of two sexy agencies and was said to have "met men at different times of day and night".

 

 

She was made chief executive of the Nottinghamshire club last week after striking up a friendship with club chairman John Radford, 45, who offered her a job.

 

The pair deny their close relationship had any impact on her appointment to the Blue Square Bet Premier club, nicknamed The Stags.

 

Carolyn, believed to be originally from Lancashire, is thought to have been first lured into escorting as a politics student almost ten years ago.

 

She signed up with an agency called Lucy Brookes, posing for raunchy internet photos as "Luella".

 

The money she earned is believed to have gone to pay off debts and she later headed to London to work as an account manager for top fashion labels Bulgari and Gucci.

 

Later she moved back to Leeds — where she had worked previously — and held a job with crisp makers Seabrook's before returning to escorting in 2009.

 

Sources revealed she signed up with another agency, McKenzie's, one of the biggest in Britain.

 

This time she worked under the name "Brooke" and received rave reviews from punters who hired her for hours at a time. Last night the shocked soccer executive did not deny our story when we put it to her.

 

Instead she told The Sun: "I haven't had a hunky-dory life at all. I don't even know what to say. For me, it's just very overwhelming."

 

However a pal revealed she had been "very good" as an escort and that men had paid her huge tips.

 

The pal added: "She used to meet men at different times of the day and night. It helped bring in a lot of extra money."

 

Carolyn is thought to have quit escorting last year.

 

Speaking last week about her new role, she said: "I intend to add vibrancy and fresh ideas to our approach off the field. I want to wake sleeping fans."

 

Carolyn's appointment comes almost 20 years since SunSport columnist Karren Brady blazed a trail in English soccer.

 

Apprentice star and West Ham vice-chairman Karren, now 42, was made Birmingham City's managing director at 23 in 1993.

 

She battled sexism from players and club officials to begin with.

 

But eventually she won respect for her no-nonsense approach - with ex-Blues manager Barry Fry later describing her as "one hard b*****d".

 

However Carolyn has already faced questions over her closeness to Mr Radford.

 

Repeated rumours suggest the pair are an item, a claim which Carolyn has so far failed to deny.

 

Speaking after landing the job, she said: "I don't feel it's appropriate at this stage to comment.

 

"This has been a genuine appointment. I have worked hard to get where I am."

 

McKenzie's agency hit the headlines in 2007 when Cristiano Ronaldo and current Man Utd star Anderson romped with FIVE girls from the firm, including Tyese Cunningham and Gemma Storey.

You couldnt make it up if you tried

 

A Prostitute chief executive anyone?

"Striking up a friendship with bla bla aged 45"

 

 

Hmm yes, a friendship you say...

[Kitman 2188]

Who gives a shit whether she's been an escort or not? Most people have done something in their youth which Mr and Mrs Bigot from Hertfordshire will find morally reprehensible. Personally I'm more bothered about the moral standards of The Sun, its journalists and owner than the CEO of a small football club. If they'd appointed a 29 year old bloke, I doubt anyone would be interested anyway.

Shes letting lads shag her for money. It doesnt make her any different than most women one way or another, but its still funny to see it ink-on-paper

Sixteen months after we became champions of what used to be called division 2, our opponents in the game which saw us reach that summit lie bottom of the entire football league, 4 points adrift with one point from 9 games.Players have been unpaid for months now as takeover plans have failed to come to fruition. And now this morning theyve sacked their manager, one Mr P Reid, formerly of Albainia-on-Wear...sacked for a poor run of results apparently, by (you'll never guess, top man at a crisis hit club) Peter fuckin Ridsdale

 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14964634.stm

 

Peter Reid sacked as manager of Plymouth Argyle

 

The financially-stricken club are bottom of League Two with one point from nine games and lost 2-0 at Southend on Saturday.

 

"Peter has had to put up with more in a short period of time than most managers have to put up with in a whole career," acting chairman Peter Ridsdale said.

 

"Ultimately, whatever the challenges, football is a results business."

 

Peter inherited an unsustainable wage bill and a club that, with the benefit of hindsight, was in financial meltdown

 

Reid took over at the beginning of the 2010-11 season before the financial crisis hit.

 

Plymouth ended up being relegated from League One after being docked 10 points for going into administration. The points total achieved would have been enough to Plymouth to stay up otherwise.

 

Despite months of talks, the future of the club has still not been resolved.

 

Earlier this week, Devon-based businessman James Brent was said to be on course to take over the club.

 

The hotelier had spent the week talking to stakeholders as his Akkeron Group weighed up a bid.

 

Brent's bid is supported by Argyle's players and fan groups. A rival bid from Gibraltar-based consortium Bishop International is still on the table, but any takeover has failed to materialse.

 

In the meantime, staff and players had been working for the last nine months more or less unpaid.

 

REID'S MANAGERIAL CAREERContinue reading the main story

•Manchester City November 1990 - October 1993

•Sunderland March 1995 - October 2002

•Leeds United March 2003 - November 2003

•Coventry City May 2004 - January 2005

•Thailand national team September 2008 - September 2009

•Plymouth Argyle June 2010 - September 2011

 

 

Players had threatened to go on strike last month after being asked to forgo their pay.

 

When the crisis first hit, Reid paid the heating bill out of his own pocket. He also donated his 1986 FA Cup Final loser's medal to be auctioned to help raise money for the club's unpaid staff.

 

Ridsdale said: "Peter inherited an unsustainable wage bill and a club that, with the benefit of hindsight, was in financial meltdown.

 

"During the last 15 months, Peter has been the ultimate professional.

 

"It is crucial that we give ourselves time to attempt to preserve Football League status and therefore it is felt that a change of manager now is the only option.

 

"Peter leaves with our unreserved thanks for his contribution in helping keep the club alive during this turbulent period and he leaves with our very best wishes for the future."

 

Ridsdale added that an announcement would be made in the next 24 hours on an interim management team. However, Argyle are expected to look to their senior professionals to manage the side until the club are bought out of adminstration

Lucas Neill's lucky escape after breaking Jamie Carragher's leg

By Jamie Carragher 4/09/2008

 

 

When my leg was broken in an horrific tackle by Lucas Neill in September 2000, my mates were ready to hunt him down if I gave the go-ahead.

 

A few weeks later I received a phone call. "You won't believe this, Jay. We're in the Trafford Centre and Lucas Neill is walking straight towards us. What do you reckon?"

 

Did I really want Neill to take a crack? "There's only one problem," added the voice. "Little Davey Thommo is with him."

 

That was that. I could hardly let one of my best mates, David Thompson, now a Blackburn player, become a witness to an assault. Besides he'd have recognised the attackers. The impromptu mission was aborted and I sent a text to Thommo telling him Neill should give him a hug of thanks.

 

As word got back to Blackburn about the near miss, or should that be hit, their coach Terry Darracott, a Scouser, appealed to one of my friends to call the boys off. I agreed.

After I established myself at right-back, our African defender Rigobert Song found himself out of the team and our previously healthy relationship instantly deteriorated.

 

One morning in training he was told I'd been called into the England squad after performing well at full-back.

 

There was a look of astonishment on Song's face - a bit like the one we used to give him when he claimed he was only 21.

 

He might as well have blurted out he thought I wasn't good enough for international football.

 

He strolled off to his French speaking friends and began talking to them. I could see him pointing towards me while everyone was grinning. It was clear what he was saying and the rage inside me simmered.

 

Later, Song walked on to the training pitch with a smile on his face. He was limping off it with a grimace an hour later. The first chance I got, I did him. Never have I hunted down a 50-50 tackle with greater appetite.

 

"You're not f***ing laughing now are you, you soft t***?" I said as he hobbled away.

 

Did I care he had a knock? No way. I don't remember him or anyone else in the squad for that matter trying to take the p*ss out of my ability again.

STEVEN TAYLOR’S displays in a black-and-white shirt this season are of international calibre – according to the cold, hard facts.

 

Indeed, the Chronicle can reveal just why England are taking a serious look at the Whitley Bay lad once again and how Taylor is AHEAD of Manchester United’s £17m defender Phil Jones and England star John Terry.

 

Taylor’s performances are officially ranked four places ahead of Terry, while the 25-year-old is 12 places ahead of Jones, 16 higher than Man U’s Chris Smalling and 58 positions in front of highly-rated and sought after Bolton man Gary Cahill.

 

Taylor has been in hot form and has been a part of a Newcastle defence that goes into the weekend clash with Blackburn Rovers with the proud tag of “best defence in the country.”

 

We reported last week how Three Lions assistant manager Stuart Pearce was in the stands at Loftus Road to take a look at his former Under-21 captain in the 0-0 draw with Queens Park Rangers.

 

Talk of Taylor even being in contention for England drew both positive and negative reactions.

 

Chron reader Harry Charlton emailed to say: “I have never laughed so much at a headline, until I read that Taylor was back in the England frame.”

 

And Twitter follower Nathan Richardson of Newcastle stated: “You and I both know S Taylor is miles from England.” However, the official EA SPORTS Player Performance Index – recognised as the bible of the Premier League by top football managers, coaches and experts across Europe – suggests otherwise.

 

Taylor is the highest ranked United player on the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index, in 19th place, above Leon Best.

 

Taylor has played 486 minutes of Premier League football for Newcastle this season, winning every one of the eight tackles he has entered into.

 

This gives him a 100% record in the dispossession stakes alongside Jones and Joelon Lescott, although the ex-Everton man has made three fewer tackles. And while Terry has won 17 more tackles, the Toon Academy product is the busiest player in the top flight having covered more metres in the first five games than there are seats at St James’.

 

His total of 55,652m is the highest in the Premier League.

 

Danny Simpson is another player who has come under fire from some sections of Toon fans, with our comment section regularly receiving negative feedback on the right-back’s performances.

 

However, Simpson finds himself 28th in the index, again ahead of the likes of Smalling, Cahill and Jones.

 

Simpson has made more clearances than Jones and Smalling and has covered 46,068m.

It sums up the general opinion and stereotype that has evolved about scouse hard men around the country. You shouldn't be prejudiced, but from Runcorn to Southport a lot of them are a true underclass of society consumed by bitterness, regardless how much money they have, their morals don't change.

 

That's actually beyond belief, and the Song bit too. Cowardly even. Ask him on for a fight if you have an issue you Bootle tramp. I've heard people from Bootle are even worse than the standard scouser, I mean Carragher's accent, it's so heavy you think he's putting it on.
