We are surprised, and delighted, where we see mere competence. We have come to expect waste, incompetence, mediocrity. A shambles. Anything much more and we are delirious.

Ashton is performing better than pretty much anyone else could in that role. We have a top top CEO. He's actually performed miracles in recent windows.

Not just with the transfers! £5.00 a pint - and people still drink there before the game! The bloke has some mad skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloke does job he is paid to do (at Bristol City): incredible! I don’t get this outlook on it. I am sure Stoke and huddersfield have guys in a similar position with more money at their disposal and look where they are. You can do a good job at the job you do. MA and LJ have done incredible jobs at Bristol City. We are far too negative thinking not being promoted means not doing enough. The club is so much better than it was 5 years ago and the difference in that 5 years is what makes it a good job. We are in the mix for promotion for the third straight season which is as good as it gets I feel. Have to remember there are at least 18 clubs or more every season that feel promotion is possible. No other league is like that. So considering there are always 5-6 clubs with parachute payments and roughly 8-10 that draw bigger average crowds, we are doing so well.

The fella seems to be doing a good job and we are lucky to have him, although the sight of him trying to park a Bentley 4x4 whilst sporting garb that made him look like an extra from Peaky Blinders last season would have had me marking him down on his annual appraisal.

Bloke does job he is paid to do (at Bristol City): incredible! Ridiculous assessment. The fees he’s negotiated for outgoing players has been nothing short of astonishing.

Regarding the backing of our Chairman, we can only spend within the constraints of Financial Fair Play if you've heard of that? We're one of the best run clubs in the Championship however painful that is for some Ashton/Lansdown/Johnson bashing fans to swallow. If we didn't have a competent CEO and didn't try to make the club a commercial success we would be in League Two. The game has moved changed significantly off the field and a lot quicker than some old school fans can handle. Football might not be the same game as it was in the 70s or the 80s but that isn't Mark Ashton or Steve Lansdown's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
