Admin phantom Posted July 4, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 I personally think it's time for a lot of the stagnating staff to be released. LJ was just one of many people responsible AND accountable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lez Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 No, Ashton has raised the profile of this club tenfold....fact is we now have top managers like Hughton linked to the BCFC job and a lot of that is down to Ashton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Mark's not had to bring in a new manager/HC yet, the club profile has been raised while he's been here and he does an excellent job with how much we receive when selling players. Think we'd need another poor manager or something terrible off pitch to happen for Mark to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 No. We’re dealing in million pound players and deals thanks to him, he needs a run of managers to prove himself further (or not!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whose linking Hughton - the fans ? He’s 11/2 to be the new Birmingham manager , he will be similar odds for us and any other championship role that becomes available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCRED Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Wtf has MA got to do with the tactics and players selected? He is high profile within the English leagues as a CEO and knows how things operate and is an asset to the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 It’s hard to quantify because we can’t see his impact in the same way as LJ’s. He obviously has a big say in how things are done - we just don’t know what areas. Stands to reason for me that his role should be looked at now LJ has gone.

Murraysrightplum Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Think he’s doing a good job in terms of recruiting and getting good value for transfers out. Better than we used to be anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 100% should go as well. His scattergun approach to transfers is every bit as much an issue as the now departed head coach. Willing to bet that he doesn’t, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than we used to be anyway This is my view. Nagy's been fit since we returned and proven he should have played in the first place where possible - midfield has been much better this him. Ashton picked him up for £2m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Genuine question, what has Mark Ashton done wrong? He worked with Lee Johnson because that was his job, he did not pick tactics, he did not deal with the players or pick the team, he has brought us great players and done amazing deals to ensure they'd join us. If anything I want Ashton to stay and let the new manager do his thing and when he needs help to land a deal that's where Ashton should step in and give the new manager less to deal with but ensure the player joins us.

Roe Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 I'm not massively for or against Mark Ashton, but there's no point ripping up everything at the club. A lot has gone right over the last 4 years. The next appointment is important, and Ashton should be a part of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Lerring Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Genuine question, why would you want Ashton gone (on reasons related to performance in his role ONLY)? I get that being the embodiment of management speak is annoying, but I have only seen us become more businesslike under his tenure. You may not like it, but it had to happen to keep up with the modern game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the club seems pretty sound. You can't blame Ashton for the managers transfer blunders. If anything he has worked miracles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
