Pezo Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 If we still had him and LJ I would definitely have him gone over LJ every day of the week. LJ knew what he was talking about and loved telling everyone, Mark Ashton has no idea what he's talking about but loves telling everyone what he thinks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Red Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 If you buy the guardian you have to expect that type of reporting.

He could see the writing on the wall here so shed a new skin and started feathering a new nest. I am surprised the manager is still there, he doesn't seem the sort to suffer a bluffer.

Highlight is these three paragraphs: “Ashton scrolls through his phone and locates a picture of a placard bearing the words “Run towards adversity”, surrounded by signatures. He asked Ipswich’s players, a largely new team after a summer of sweeping change, to “sign it in blood” after a meeting last week. The phrase relates to the challenges faced by the firefighters and rescue workers whose contributions will directly fund the club’s ambition. “They have to run into burning fires, towards bullets, towards danger,” he says. “The only thing the pension fund have asked me is that, if you join this club, every time you go to work you run towards adversity and tackle the challenge head on. The players represent the fans and the community, but they represent those people as well. “After it was presented to them, one of the squad went up to my director of performance, Andy Rolls, and said: ‘I owe you an apology, my running stats were down yesterday and I didn’t put in the effort I should have. It won’t happen again.’” https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/aug/06/we-need-a-beating-heart-ipswich-town-takeover-set-to-be-game-changer?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other Eeeough, Gag with a spoon !

He has a mistrust of ‘football people’ IMO but yet saw fit to give the keys to the club to this utter cynt. Give me strength. The guy had far too much influence and on what basis or track record of previous success was this afforded to him? Ridiculous. 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a presentation on a cruise ship out of Sydney in the early 90s.

Yep, said to be common in people in positions of power. On only a slight tangent, Jon Ronson's book The Psychopath Test is an interesting read. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
