Where is Mark Ashton? On holiday or being phased out? Out and about talking to players I expect as they seem to be returning, or possibly looking at a few a the World Cup!

Kid in the Riot Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 It wasn't really an interview, more a promotional video to make it loud and clear (if it wasn't already) that Bobby, Joe and Flint are available at the right price. Certainly in the case of Bobby and Joe the club will be desperate not to miss out on big fees for them this summer given they aren't signing new contracts and this video advertises their services. A bit of promotional work the other way as well with the last question to JL literally being for the benefit of prospective signings and no-one else "if you were to talk to a player, how would you sell Bristol City?"

The guy just like MA is skilled in interview and had neither of them held an interview then they leave themselves open to accusations that they are 'hiding' To me he was going thru the motions and added nothing that we didn't already know - other than the amount of City apps so far downloaded - not exactly a revealing fact. Other than avoiding criticism I can't quite see the point of holding an interview if there is nothing new to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope, that like LJ, he is learning on the job and this marks a turning point in his pr. And you are right in your criticism but perhaps hopefully next time he does an interview he will say something new as well as measured. But for the moment I am just pleased at evidence he is growing into his position, not something we have had much evidence of before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing new to you but not everybody spends their life fishing on here or choking the chicken over the official site. Many people have a life where their main interaction is social media such as Facebook or twitter and not a lot else so it may have been a lot of new information for them. We have to use all platforms and not presume fans use the official site - I personally have not clicked on that for at least 3 months - boring, uninspiring waste of time in my view and I learn a lot more current information on twitter feeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Musicworks Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 In my opinion having listened to various interviews with Jon L the one thing that can be said is that he is clearly not skilled in Interview. He is not a natural by any means but he is learning and growing in to the role. From his tweets he shows that he has a keen sense of humour and as he becomes more relaxed with interviews I would expect that to come through far more. What I believe we have learned from the interview is that Jon is beginning to emerge from his father’s shadow which is a real positive for the long-term and provides a refreshing change from the disconnected MA style which many of us have grown to loathe and which prevents many buying in to the Bristol Sport philosophy.

Admin phantom Posted June 27, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Now making sense why the interview was done - as many have said above there was nothing new added or fedback to us All it was about was getting the line about not standing in people's way and open to offers etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
