Lrrr Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 All the best Dean, hope he lands in a job doing something in the industry soon Speculation on my part but think he was told he'd be sacked if we lost before the game and deliberately picked the most experienced team he could so that no younger players would feel guilty as if they'd contributed to his sacking.

Redrascal2 Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 3 minutes ago, Jacki said: I’m glad he’s gone for his own sake as much as anything. But is it just me who feels sad that a decent bloke who should never have been put in this position has ended up in this situation? Ashton, SL and our sorry group of players have a lot to answer for tonight. No one likes someone being sacked. But no one forced him to take the job. He has applied and taken a job that he clearly has not got the ability to do. He has produced some of the worst football seen for many years and had nothing but a detrimental impact on the club. And walks away with a nice big cheque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Caretaker is normal enough when waiting for a new appointment- so long as it doesn't drag, drag, drag... He's actually been a manager at Championship level unlike the others! Shame this one didn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 1 minute ago, Cardy said: If Lansdown thinks Ashton has to stay for commercial reasons he absolutely needs his wings clipped with a proper DOF brought in to actually work with a Head Coach. Holden never had a chance & this was all so predictable. Spot on. I don’t blame Holden for taking the job and wish him well for the future, but it was so clear last summer this is how it would pan out. Time for the board to get a genuine breath of fresh air and clearout Ashton, the recruitment and medical departments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having someone on the EFL board will have its uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
