What a miracle worker! . Where would we be without him! It’s also not true. The main issue with the training ground was part of the land was owned by Long Ashton golf club. The club and them haggled for ages. Then SL came in and said he would pay double whatever was needed to ‘make it work’ as a make good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club are just putting the usual spin on it to save face. SL had a wake up call - and he ain’t happy. Rest assured - HE HAS GONE. I am glad to finally see many of our fans coming to the realisation of who Ashton is. I’ve been warning you all for 5 years. What a massive relief that he’s gone and taken his toilet with him. For those who’ve commented on the Paul Cook juxtaposition. I spoke to an agent last week who’d been in conversation with Paul. He jokingly brought up that he’ll be working with Ashton. Needless to say, Cooky wasn’t too impressed. Watch this space on that one I reckon........ I didn't trust him from the off…I was just judged to be a numpty who didn't like men in suits who talked BS management speak, too dumb basically… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 31 minutes ago, Davefevs said: I do wonder whether Cook might be a short term appointment I think Cook took the job completely unaware of what was coming next. Aside from the issue that he applied for our job last summer & was passed over in favour of Holden, like with us, results have been really poor since he came in, but the really big difference between the two is Pearson is about to have the freedom to make some changes, whereas Cook looks like he is completely trapped. My hunch is that he won’t be there long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Just out of interest. How can one person be responsible for so many injuries ? I would have thought that even a semi competent person could do at least a half decent job. Having staff around you, and players used to recoveries and looking after themselves, you would think if someone was woefully bad or out right dangerous they would be called out on it. Just always seems odd that we can pin it all into one man being "not very good" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows alot of insight into why Johnson/Holden were brought in. Ashton is the biggest fraud and bullshitter going. EDIT: When I say insight I mean confirmation. It was obvious why Holden was brought in, and it wasnt for his experience or the fact he is a good human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
