Mansfield Town CEO Shares YouTube Video In Push To Secure Seat On FA Council

English football politics "has broken new ground" with a female candidate bidding for a "place among the blazers" on the FA Council posting a "bizarre election campaign video" on YouTube, according to Charles Sale of the London DAILY MAIL. Mansfield Town CEO Carolyn Radford, who considers herself the "sexiest ceo" in the Football League, according to her hashtag in a tweet sent from the clubs' summer meeting, "hopes to win a five-way contest" for two places available on the council with the help of the "cheesiest of videos sent to all voting clubs." Accompanying the footage are "repetitive nursery rhyme-style" lyrics: "Do you wanna a girl on council, who is seasoned through and through, but not so seasoned she won't try something new, a girl who is old enough to know and young enough to do, well it's up to you, it's up to you, it's strictly up to you." Unfortunately for Radford, who is married to Mansfield Chair John, "the electorate from the three FL divisions are unlikely to be swayed by her unprecedented self-promotion" (DAILY MAIL, 7/25).
