Bazooka Joe Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 40 minutes ago, Red-Robbo said: Well it would appear that he would be criticised for trotting out the official line and here he is being criticised for not having done so. The bloke cannot win. For all we know, he has made his thoughts known to SL and they may align with ours. That in itself would be a good reason not to have him give a statement that would be hypocritical on his part. Lansdown has spoken and as he owns the club it is only his thoughts that really count. What Ashton thinks is as irrelevant as what the physio or Scott Murray thinks on the matter. Yup, quite right - and neither, as is very evident, can Lee Johnson!

RaspberryRed Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I've said it before and I'll say it again When we're/we've been on the up he's like a Media Whore. Since the shit hit the fan and he was under pressure he appeared with a 10min interview gloating about the Jan signings. Now after banners, boo's and SL's interview and us really in the shit he's gone MIA again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibs Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 What exactly do you want him to say? "Sorry everybody, I got told by my boss to appoint Lee Johnson because they're mates". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coach Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Mark Ashton isn't the problem. Part of his job is player recruitment, which he has done. I understand Mark Ashton is the COO, but the CEO is the big boss. Lansdown is the one who you should be expecting a statement from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tin Soldier Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Sack the lot - shambles of a club. How Midget has stayed this long is beyond me! Ashton is supposed fo manage day to day - WTF! Oh yeh, Midget is a mate of SL. Thats great so lets watch the club go down the pan over the next few games into Div 1 mediocrity again ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 7 hours ago, DaveInSA said: The point is, the Executive Management at this football club is not up to the job. Manager after manager. Relegation, consolidation, promotion...no consolidation....rubbish. They have no idea how to run a football club. I'm not completely convinced. I think we could be thereabouts if we didn't have an owner undermining the board. They are hamstrung while he can overrule everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll be a quick replacement process if/when he does go. I think JP will hold the fort again until the end of the campaign. 18 hours ago, Fuber said: If I were him I would be shocked and exasperated and not know what to say. I'd hazard a guess he like everyone has had enough of the situation, so what can he say? Either he stays silent due to threats from above or he backs LJ. Silence is an answer in and of itself IMO. But SL said the board are in agreement with him... MA on the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gert Mare Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 He has a list of candidates, the board has a list of candidates and Herr Von Lansdown has a mate who fancies the job. At the end of the day MA and the board throw away their lists.....Nothing more to add really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
