GrahamC Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Said many times before Radio Bristol are bloody lucky to have him. Played the game professionally, dipped his toe in management & is an articulate, excellent interviewer. May have played for the few, but as he loves to say, top man!

Bris Red Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Fair play, i could have almost predicted these responses from MA. Squirming and telling absolute lies - you can hear it in his voice. I hope and pray Ashton is out of a job ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy082005 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Just now, Dynamite Red said: That's what the slimey one said, maybe rolling but definitely stated 12 months. I’m convinced Eddie Howe was due to come here, but changed his mind and decided to take some time out of the game I posted my thoughts the other day and said then, bet he gets offered a 12 month contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 1 minute ago, Andy082005 said: Is that right? 12 month contract? 12 month rolling. However the way it was then talked about when Geoff asked about targets sounded more like a straight 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAD_Red Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 “I spoke to Lee numerous times every day”. Why? This just shows how MA has far too much control at City and likely had a significant say in the new coach. Why would the CEO need to speak to the manager multiple times daily, surely LJ would have been focused on picking the team, coaching etc - things which MA should have no input in?

cityironman Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 This really smacks of a stop-gap appointment to see how the covid situation ends up.

DT The Optimist Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Fair play to good old Twenty stone. Asked the questions wanted asking which were not ducked by him.

ashton_fan Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 It seems people on here always have to have a scapegoat to blame when they're unhappy. It was LJ (both as a manager and a player), previously Liam Fontaine when he was playing and various other people before that. The latest is Mark Ashton who I'm sure is only following orders from SL but people have taken a dislike to him. It's a pity we can't be a bit more united as a club and be a bit more objective in our opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashton clearly media trained so slippery to interview. Chose which parts of each question to answer. Started every answer with “Listen”, said ‘process’ 35 times.

Henry Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 To paraphrase; GT: will he be sacked if he doesn’t get promotion? MA: I think you ask that question differently..

Clevedon Red Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Geoff did really well. Ashton started the response to pretty much all the questions with one word.....listen. It was like he felt the question being asked was out of order and that he shouldn’t have to answer it but felt he should to shut him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashton kept mentioning ‘keeping SL updated’ and ‘talking Steve through the process and recommendations’. Sounds like all the trust and decision making is laid by SL to MA to me with JL sitting by his side as some kind of token Lansdown family representative.
