CheddarReds Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Stuart Webber is Norwich City's Sporting Director and he's on the high performance podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stuart-webber-vital-importance-patience-preparation/id1500444735?i=1000517672694 Listening from 17:10 to 19:30 it sounds like he see's himself as the polar opposite of how many of us see Ashton and it was very refreshing to hear.

Bengal Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 I wish they stop describing MA as the former West Brom goalkeeper. He had no pro contract, never played for them and is only 5 foot 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they were devastated (assuming they were interested enough to actually give a ****)! I know Werhun leaving is a huge shock, absolutely no track record of him following Ashton from job to job, is there? As for the players, I’d be amazed if any of them were remotely interested, their concern at present (whatever we think of them) will always be their own future, not that of the bloke who has just left a dozen of them in limbo. This smacks of the bit in The Office where David Brent says he’s getting promoted but they are closing the Swindon branch. ”You’re still thinking about the Swindon news, aren’t you?”.

Also confirms Werhun off in the piece Well I hope we're getting good compensation from Ipswich for both Ashton and Werhrun. Anybody care to guess how much?

maxjak Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Announced on BRISTOL LIVE ...........As a second key figure to leave, and follow Ashton to Ipswich....Luke Werhun is leaving apparently, whose job it was to fill in the paper work for transfers & handle disciplinary matters. Wow what a disaster, what will we do without him? He is obviously one of Ashton's mates in his "Jobs for the Boys" world. Why is it of any interest for Bristol Live to run it as one of it's lead stories?/ it must be a very slow news day? I've never heard of him, and i would not of thought it will be particularly difficult to replace him?.................Bristol lIve, yet again with it's finger on the pulse of breaking news? Ha!

Magicseason Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Does anyone know if the lovely Mr Ashton was responsible for Adam Baker moving on? Thought the Club disconnected from the Fans totally after that. Adam was the link being a lifelong fan as opposed to a media team from Rugby Club.
