BrizzleRed Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Well, it’s certainly going to be interesting watching developments at Ipswich over the next couple of years. Really feel sorry for the poor buggers, but just relieved we’re now free of those parasites. They’ve done some serious damage to our club between them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 14 hours ago, Richard Head said: Andrew Proctor, head physio came to us from Oxford. Another of Ashton’s mates? Off to Ipswich too? Possibly, but the difference with Proctor is that he's a local lad (grew up in Portishead). 37 minutes ago, Silvio Dante said: https://www.twtd.co.uk/ipswich-town-news/40202/town-move-on-cards-for-robins-head-of-performance As anticipated - Ipswich on the cards… I'm starting to feel real sympathy for Ipswich fans. First Ashton, then Werhun, now Rolls. Great news for us, appalling for them. I just wonder who approached Werhun and Rolls, both employees under contract with us? I think we can guess who and surely that amounts to gross misconduct, not for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Apologies if this has been already alluded to.....but Roll's leaving quote (amongst others) of " I hope I have put in place processes that have moved the club forward|" seems a little absurd, considering his record? Oh and Andy mate, you could do with losing a few pounds? Not exactly the physique that sets a good example to the players? IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like it came from someone else’s mouth. Mmmmm... So we now have both Rolls AND Ashton claiming to have “put processes in place that have moved the club forward”. Nice to see on a CV, but as an interviewer I’d immediately be asking “give me an example, and demonstrate the outcomes”. I’d fully expect a rather hollow answer.

It's what we said when Watford fans gave their views on Ashton, and it's probably what they said when other fans done the same for them. Classic doublethink, we all convince ourselves it'll be a good appointment although having proof of prior disasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I find interesting here is that Ashton is actually looking to appoint a Head of Recruitment. Something he saw fit NOT to do here. In fact, we had one and he sacked him. I wonder if Mr Narcissist has vigorously reviewed his recruitment here and concluded that he’s actually pretty rotten at Talent Identification, and will leave it to an expert this time around.

I’d think it’s more about agents fees etc. I’d be willing to bet he used Barron/Lee as consultants before when here, but there will be more scrutiny of third party payments in league one.

I suppose they are selling a dream that "I have a whole team who can storm in and sort your problems out" and people just keep falling for it. Nepotism, favourites etc not so uncommon in business, or football I expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
