Now that’s all finished I guess it was felt she needed a role. Wonder if she will do the radio commentary stuff. I hope not, I rearely listen but I just don’t like female voices on the radio, apart from the fact she won’t be as good as Adam was. Glad you said that 'M !

Jacki Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 This is really sad news if true and another example of the club (business) being out of touch with its fans (customers). The more I hear of BS the less I like I think AB has done a great job over many years. All the very best to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as this get in, always makes me chuckle. Tommy's right this time, WTF is happening to our club? It's a right 'job for the boys' place lately and stuff us!

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 It's just a reflection of how modern football clubs are heading- Mark Ashton I mean, not necessarily Adam Baker's pretty inexplicable departure. Control the message, control the image- all about it, ever more confidentiality, PR driven. The likes of Adam Baker, Tim Shires to name 2? Out. The likes of Knights and Downsy- more corporate friendly- in. Particularly the case at ambitious clubs. The changes- the cull- remind me of where I work in the last 2 years tbh- the timeframe is different, but the actions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 for the moment I am left with former chairman Graham Simpson and, their nomination, Scott Field – the latter being one of the survivors of what seemed to be the revolving door at Vicarage Road – new employees arriving, only to go later, paid up and gagged by confidentiality agreements. ‘ When the chairman quizzed the manager on the Sunday or the Monday, as they analysed the match, Lewington would give the same answers and invariably Simpson would reply: “Yes, that’s what Mark reckoned.” Ashton’s days were numbered once Simpson was forced to resign and legend has it on the Morning of the Long Knife, which passed for an EGM, Jimmy Russo pointed at Ashton and informed him: “You’re next.” Personally, I would seriously have preferred to deal with two Luca Viallis and a handful of Jack Petcheys than deal with Ashton. I am far from being alone in that respect. If there were shifts for bell-ringing at St Mary’s to celebrate his departure, I would put my name down but I don’t reckon they would get round to those whose names begin with P until somewhere around next Whit Monday. Don’t just take my word for it. I will give you a Watford fan, who has supported the club all his life. He wrote for the fanzines, followed the Hornets all over the country and finally landed a dream job, writing in Watford’s press office. But then the job soured for Richard Walker. He felt he could not face the club’s spin culture every day and resigned, despite the fact he did not have another job to go to. This week Richard appeared on Watford’s Mailing List. His message on Ashton’s departure was brief and simple: “Unusual of me to break silence on a matter? Yes, but this is worth it... “Hold your opinions as you will on the recent changes (including re: all sorts of personnel and other developments) but be advised of one thing. This news is a very good thing for the club. “Today, there are a lot of ex-employees – yes, myself included – who will feel there’s now a chance of the club they knew returning.” hmmmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
