BetterRedthanBlue Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Ashton to Ipswich and hopefully he can take his mates in the medical and scouting department with him! I mean if Ashton left and Scudamore came in with an investment company behind him it seems the perfect scenario that SL wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyRed Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Hopefully MA off to Ipswich, new CEO in and preferably a whole new medical team as well. All aboard the 'Big Nige' promotion bus for 2021/2022 season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olé Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 1 hour ago, cheese said: Maybe this is the reason for a delay in confirming Pearson's long term appointment? If Ashton hasn't gone to Ipswich by the time of Steve's trip over from Guernsey we should put their meetings on Robins TV like the final episode of the Apprentice. "Mark, it is with regret, you're fired." "Nigel, you are hired." In fact we could even organise for the out of contract players to try and make ice lollies or produce an advert for cat food, so that Steve can fire the lot of them before he goes back to Lulsgate too.

AshtonRobin21 Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 I wonder if Pearson's "If it's in the summer, it will be too late" comments are linked here. Perhaps he is insistent of Steve Walsh coming in alongside him and wants it sorted early to identify targets before the summer. Therefore the "too late" comments would make sense. It's clear to see he isn't impressed with the current squad and will want to overhaul in the summer. Could be lots going on behind the scenes.

BCFCGav Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Can’t help but feel a bit worried about the relationship between Lansdown and us (fan base) if we’ve effectively pushed out a member of the team he clearly believes in.

He’s also a Bristol City fan so may find a senior job a AG appealing. Just a thought............. CEO is a pretty hands on job. Does he need the hassle? I doubt he needs the money!

Who knows whether he’d be interested? City are his club after all. He might jump at the chance. Scudamore will have many contacts with the football industry and that would be a great asset to have on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Could be why so much is on hold. You would assume new owners would want to place their own manager, and backroom staff. Is it going to be more than BCFC and large investment into Bristol Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniro Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Hang on a second .... so our CEO has been acting as an agent for another club these last several months? When did that start? before or after his extensive 10 week search to find that our assistant head coach was the best person available to replace LJ?

Tin Soldier Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 So was Ashton facilitating this whilst still being employed by Steve Lansdown on mega Wonga? Surely a conflict of interest as far as the recruitment role for LJs replacement etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
