  5. The replies to that tweet are incredible. The Ipswich fans love him; I bet Ashton feels like a god. Its hilarious.

  9. I would have liked to have seen Johnson without Ashton. I suppose we'll only know judging by whether Sunderland fly past us on the way to the Prem, or whether he gets sacked mid season for being off the pace

  11. Article in the Guardian today. Highlight is these three paragraphs: “Ashton scrolls through his phone and locates a picture of a placard bearing the words “Run towards adversity”, surrounded by signatures. He asked Ipswich’s players, a largely new team after a summer of sweeping change, to “sign it in blood” after a meeting last week. The phrase relates to the challenges faced by the firefighters and rescue workers whose contributions will directly fund the club’s ambition. “They have to run into burning fires, towards bullets, towards danger,” he says. “The only thing the pension fund have asked me is that, if you join this club, every time you go to work you run towards adversity and tackle the challenge head on. The players represent the fans and the community, but they represent those people as well. “After it was presented to them, one of the squad went up to my director of performance, Andy Rolls, and said: ‘I owe you an apology, my running stats were down yesterday and I didn’t put in the effort I should have. It won’t happen again.’” https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/aug/06/we-need-a-beating-heart-ipswich-town-takeover-set-to-be-game-changer?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

  12. Love how this describes him as having “endured” spells in the EFL with Fleetwood, Scunthorpe, Shrewsbury. Tell you what mate, if you think that was ‘endurance’, you ain’t seen nothing yet!

  22. Apparently Ashton addressed the squad after today’s game and said “ football is a series of peaks and troughs and you don’t know if you are in a trough until you’re climbing out or on a peak until you are climbing down and that’s it, you never know what’s around the corner, if you want the rainbow you’ve got to put up with the rain. Do you know which ‘philosopher, said that he twerped? Dolly Parton, and people say she’s just a big pair of tits.

  23. Irrespective of how big a cock he is, there is no recruitment plan that can be deemed good that involves 19/20 first team signings. It’s not like they didn’t have a group of players. Lets see how many are here this time next year. I see this as awful recruitment. Hope it goes horribly wrong.

  29. 18 players over 25. Cook used the size of Ipswich's bloated squad and number of loanees as an excuse for their poor performance after he came in last season. At the start of this summer he said he wanted and was looking forward to working with a smaller, more tight knit squad as that's far more conducive to getting performances and results. Since then they've filled and exceeded reasonable squad numbers again and used their full allocation of loan spots. Either Cook's arse has fallen out, he's that drunk that he doesn'tremember what he's said or Ashton has morecontrol of their transfer activity than Cook does.

  30. It starts to suggest that the strategy of just signing loads of players in the hope that they fit together and/or one or two saleable assets emerge may have been more down to Ashton’s influence than Johnson’s?

  31. On a general note as well, to my fellow members of Generation Y - INVEST IN A PENSION! My god, the amount of people I know who either don't have one or invest very little in one is frightening. It's the best savings scheme you will ever be offered. The government are literally giving you money to save. Yes, the obvious catch is you can't touch it until you are 55. But, compound interest, baby! It's such a no-brainer but I know several people in their 30s who haven't put a penny into a pension. Unbelievable really.

  32. How do people keep falling for this second car saleman's bullshit? His ego is beginning to run riot yet again, and Ipswich will regret ever appointing him, it won't be long before they recognise him as the turd in the punchbowl he truly is? i feel sorry for them, but am just so relieved that we managed to get rid of him and his talentless cronies.

  36. Thanks. I'm ok, I'll see them all in a few weeks - I am in the UK fro nearly two months so should be able to catch up with everyone. My experience of moving to a new place (or back to an old one in your case) is that in those first 6 months or so you just say "yes" to everyone and every opportunity that comes your way. You might have the odd awful dinner, or bad date, or rubbish away day - but you'll make many more friends than you would sitting in your flat saying "no". Therefore, my advice - and feel free to ignore it - is to go. Go with an open mind and, if you're comfortable with it, then feel free to approach/talk to fellow City fans at the game, especially once you're in your seat. Most humans will reciprocate a friendly chat. I've done solo away days many times before. I don't actually have many City supporting mates so, especially when I lived in London, I'd quite often go on my own to the less fashionable grounds. I could get a mate to come to Fulham...but weirdly no one fancied Charlton or Leyton Orient quite as much. I won't lie and tell you I've made life-long friends, but I have had many great conversations, and learned a lot about our varied fanbase. By the time our third goal flies in you'll all be hugging each other anyway.

  37. As I have said before in this thread it is more than a little disappointing that our owner and our chairman did not spot all of his character traits much earlier. It would appear that he is now utterly out of control and this is possibly due to his close relationship with ITFC’s new owners. If I am Paul Cook I am applying for every vacancy that comes up.

  40. For the time being ? Why does Ashton think it is OK/appropriate for him to address the team in this way? in the real world, you build a culture by including middle management in the process not ‘corporate seagull’ and go over their heads. The writer clearly thinks this is MA being a ‘Leader’, it is not. It is a symptom of an ego running amok.
