MelksRed Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 3 hours ago, CodeRed said: Mark Ashton speaks to the fans Following the departure of Head Coach Lee Johnson I felt it important to communicate with our supporters and let them understand the direction of travel that the club is taking as we continue to make progress towards our mission goal of bringing Premier League football to Ashton Gate. Let me begin by paying tribute to the hard work Lee has put in on behalf of this football club, I have worked successfully at the top level of the football industry and it is never pleasant when a colleague has to move on but the football club must move forward, and I felt that this football club had stopped progressing under Lee, and if you don’t progress you go backwards, and I will never allow this football club to move backwards. The most important aspect of my role as CEO is managing emotion. Emotion of the staff, fans, manager, board and owner while trying to steer a very steady ship through these difficult waters, Our owner Steve Lansdown was very saddened when I informed him that Lee’s time as Head Coach was at an end and, frankly, it’s never pleasant to hear a grown man crying and begging for you to change your mind but the change had to be made for the benefit of this football club. I worked very closely with Lee on recruitment and he had the benefit of my extensive network of contacts and the world class scouting database that I introduced. By virtue of my relationships in the Premier League and throughout Europe I was able to support Lee by obtaining the loans of Tammy Abraham and Afobe and the contracted signings of Webster, Nagy, Diedhiou, Massengo,Kalas and DaSilva. Lee made a telling contribution himself as he identified and signed the likes of Marionovic, Watkins, Adam Matthews, Hegelar, Engvall,and the loan signings Ryan Kent and Lois Diony. So you can see we have built the squad together. Finally as we continue to progress I assure supporters that I am leaving no stone ,rock, or pebble unturned in my search for the next Head Coach and I continue to fish in ponds, rivers, and lakes to ensure the next Head Coach has the right credentials to build on the progress I have made in developing the stadium, training ground and infrastructure, and lead this football to the Premier League where I truly believe I "I will never allow this football club to move backwards" - can someone please tell our midfield this!

Ska Junkie Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 That is clearly bullshit. Even MA isn’t so self centred to take all the credit for the good stuff and blame all the crap on LJ (that’s our job). He also wouldn’t send out a me, me, me message and divulge that our mighty leader was sobbing. If anyone believed that, give yourself a slap!
