My gut feeling is that MA will have more power at Ipswich than he did here. LJ had the Lansdowns to protect him so to speak. When you look at the owners, the links, backgrounds and people being employed, I would say MA has a more powerful position than Cook. And if push came to shove...MA would win.

SuperDziek Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Can anyone else hear Mark Ashton's voice when they read through that article?! Mind you, could only read the first few paragraphs. Typical Ashton stuff - particularly where he starts a sentence with 'look'. Argh. Thank Bob that he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Cook on his way early doors if Ipswich aren't top 4 after 10 then what price Lee Johnson to renew his relationship with MA after falling short at Sunderland. Also noted in the interview at ITFC he mentions Werhun but doesn't say he is a relative [is it his nephew or cousin?] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also useful to get their take on any players we might be linked with, Tom Lees for example. I first visited the Tractor Boys forum when we signed Webster from them asking why they let him go - because they were skint is why................

TedsHeadIs Red Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 That really was a load of waffle. He wants to “build something special” and “move the club forward”. It’s a shame the interviewer didn’t ask him to be more specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Interesting, whilst praising all and sundry at "Bristol", he didn't actually mention (and thank ) the fans ! The interviewer did sort of mention the fact that they'd heard all about him before he arrived..............Only good stuff, we hope ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZepperin Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 I've just listened to the interview. He made a great effort to avoiding saying "I", "me" and "my" all the time. The problem is that he kept talking about himself anyway and just changed the pronouns to plural. Which is confusing. At one point, it seemed like he was saying that he had worked with Mike O'Leary at City. Moving on to adjectives: A very disappointing lack of "outstanding", "rigorous" or (my favourite) "vigorous". (The "bought" instead of "brought" didn't really compensate.) He played safe with "good", "nice", "great" and "exciting" for most of the interview. When referring to those below him, he tends to use "good" most of the time. The owners of Ipswich and "Bristol" are, on the other hand, all "fantastic". And all four are "supportive". SL was "incredibly supportive". Make of that what you will. Doesn't seem to think much of Paul Cook. He used "clear" twice to describe him and nothing else. The highlight of PC's career is, apparently, having met Mark "on the circuit". A little tip for you all. Find an interview online with Richard Gould. It's like comparing Arthur Mullard with Lawrence Olivier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke might have been his right hand man, but MA also had a PA too. I’m hearing they too have left but unclear if they have followed him to Ipswich at the moment. In other words, a complete clear out.

Could of called me ,I would be very worried if I was Paul cook as Mr Ashton is only 5 mins away and don't think he will be getting much breathing space. I won't miss it either and we slowly get our club back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
