The glamorous young woman who was made boss of an English football club at the age of 29 has just got engaged – to the man who gave her the job two weeks ago.
Carolyn Still will marry the wealthy chairman of Mansfield Town FC, John Radford, 45, next year.

At the time of her appointment as chief executive of the club, she and Mr Radford said it had nothing to do with their friendship and would not confirm they were a couple.

However, a spokesperson for Mansfield Town FC has now confirmed they were an item before Mr Radford made her boss of the Nottinghamshire club, known as The Stags.

The couple announced their engagement to friends and family at the weekend, after Mr Radford proposed last week.



At the time of her appointment, Miss Still admitted that she had known Mr Radford for a couple of years and that this would be useful in her work.

She said: 'He’s obviously a very busy businessman and the fact I already know him will work in the club’s favour.
‘I will be able to call him on the phone and talk over any issues at any point.’
It was claimed last week that Miss Still is a former escort, who went on dates with male customers before working for top fashion companies such as Bulgari and Gucci.
Trust: Mr Radford is believed to have proposed to Miss Still last week. The pair had refused to confirm they were a couple until today


New boss: Miss Still at the club, where she says she wants to 'wake sleeping fans with a lot of different initiatives'



According to The Sun, Miss Still was working for two escort agencies and was said to have met male punters 'at different times of day and night'.
The newspaper claimed that the new CEO was signed to an agency called Lucy Brookes and posed for risque pictures on the internet under the name 'Luella'.
It is believed that Miss Still first became an escort when studying for her politics degree as a way of paying for herself to get through university and to pay off debts.

After heading to London to work as an account manager she moved on to Leeds and worked at crisp makers Seabrook's before returning to escorting in 2009.
Sources claim that Miss Still then signed up to one Britain's biggest agency called McKenzie's, which hit the headlines in 2007 when Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly hired five girls from the company for one night.
Miss Still now has the challenge of bringing success back to the Blue Square Premier team, whose 77-year stay in the Football League came to an end in 2008.



'I want to wake sleeping fans with a lot of different initiatives by liaising with them and finding what they want,' she said.
She added: 'We have a fantastic team both on and off the field and I am pleased to accept this role during a time when there appears to be a real buzz around the place.'
Unsurprisingly, her appointment has been compared to that of West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady, who at the age of 23 was made managing director of Birmingham City Football Club.
'I do see a correlation,' said Miss Still.

'Karren is steely, determined and, at the end of the day, she turned around a football club that wasn't doing very well that is now doing extremely well.
'There's no doubt that having a 29-year-old female in the role will attract publicity to the club,' she says.
But as Miss Still admits, that female has to have the brains to back up the beauty.

All I can say is: LIPS

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."

Yes, love, I'm sure you have.

wonder who she'll be pulling off at half time, the manager or the goalkeeper.

Says it all. Good customer liaison skills there.

I want to sleep with fans with a lot of money, finding what they want. I'm 29 so I need to get this work done in the next 5 years.

what a good girl

Nah, I'm not jealous in the slightest. All I'll say is, if I was a rich man, I could do better. FFS, as a "poor" man I have done better!

The odd tilt of the head, the cold, crazed, yet determined look in the eyes, the "business brain", smells like trouble and a big settlement at some point in the not too distant to me.

She looks like the sort of gal who will suck you off for a couple of snorts of Charlie or a few Bacardi's. No tits and dick sucking collagen lips. And this [at][at][at][at]-struck fool makes her the gaffer of a football club?

Again:

Yeah but I bet she goes like a whippet in heat.
