Unlike DH and Bristol City of course. DH has arguably more managerial experience than him mind you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this could point to clipping Ashton's wings or simply moving to an agent-led process, much as Arsenal seem to be doing. Having a so-called super agent as de facto DoF certainly worked for Wolves, though they have a top coach, which helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first run of bad results, DH goes out of the window and Benny (or someone like him) takes over! True, but Ward got udls promoted before Benny took over. I'd take DH getting us promoted and then relegation from the PL by the DOF who took over. at least we'd have parachute payments to fall back on.

cityexile Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Does beg the question if no experienced manager from all the applicants ‘fitted the structure’ what was the bloody point of going through all this?

If we’re cost cutting, there’s definitely a couple of the analysts we employ who are not particularly well-regarded. One in particular, if he finds himself still employed after this I’ll be amazed (although he is ‘one of Ashton’s men’), so..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
