Would also like to think SL is an astute enough business man to read a person very well, especially a potential new CEO. As well as he read the last CEO?!!!

IAmNick Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 So has he (potentially) jumped, been pushed, or a bit of both? Wonder if Steve will be sad to see the back of him or not after this last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ ‘covered’ for him for years, but as soon as the flak started coming Ashton’s way after LJ’s departure, he’d have been carefully plotting his exit. His CV and reputation will be protected by leaving of his own accord. Don’t think for a single second that Ashton would do anything that doesn’t benefit himself.

Exactly, he's a career CEO who is probably matching his wages at a new club at a time when his wage is coming under serious scrutiny at his current one and may require a downward adjustment even due to a "structure change" required by a new Manager anyway.

BetterRedthanBlue Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Ashton is a fantastic negotiator don't get me wrong and before the Holden Debacle I thought he was doing a good job. It'll be interesting to see what happens now. Does Steve Walsh come in as DoF, does Richard Scudamore come in as the new CEO propped up by the US investment firm that SL is looking for?

My concern is that Bristol City is vulnerable to a power grab from the wrong kind of ambitious actors. This is, after all, Bristol City we are talking about. A club that continually shoots itself in the foot time after time. Who knows what the next few days will hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of both I think A good friend of mine is an Ipswich fan and he thinks that his club is in such a bad place that the new consortium couldn't make things worse for them. I spoke with him about Mark Ashton, I'm now worried about his mental health.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d go for the former - whilst he’s done well in terms of negotiating outbound transfers, a lot of the inbounds have left a lot to be desired. Apart from SL, he’s really not liked by others at the club! Get him gone - get a DoF in to support NP and let’s see where it takes us..... This would be a great opportunity for City to restructure whilst ensuring that Appleton never becomes our Head Coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Can’t happen soon enough, there appears to be a negative culture brewing at the club which is manifesting into the performances on the pitch. Organisational cultures generally stem from the CEO and aligned with what’s happening with the facilities and the Bears I would suggest this culture doesn’t fit what SL is trying to build. I’d really like to see some outside investment & ideas to help SL progress, people with football knowledge & some skin in the game. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but the Red Bull model could be interesting, focus on elite performance & analytics etc with a definite plan on reaching PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far as I can tell that guy just posts stuff Gregor does, about 2 mins after Gregor tweets or reports it’s on Bristol live... Which is good enough for me. Goodbye Mark.
