Hi all. It’s been a while, but thought I’d wish you all the best for hopefully your final match of the season against Huddersfield.
Been a hoy watching true front foot football from your boys all season, even if I didn’t really want you to do well.
But I’d be more than happy to either / both Leeds or Saints stay down.
I still can’t believe you have done so well, but you have a fantastic manager, and your core players have been so good. But I think you have tried to outscore teams (and succeeded) and it’s been fun to watch. And you’ve caught the boring, defensive teams out.
So I fully expect you to be saying bye-bye to the Championship come Saturday afternoon.
Good luck!
Still don’t like Mark Ashton though 😉 |  | | |  |

Thank you for Mark Ashton. Seriously. Thank you so, so, so much. This man has been a legend. [Post edited 2 May 17:52]

I looked at your forum the other day. It is refreshing to see people starting to think maybe Ashton wasn't the problem. |  |

Mark Ashton has been key to our surge towards the Premier League. I know your fan base detest him and I have read some of the stuff on him, but we haven't seen any of that around these parts.
I have a bit of history with Bristol City, so really don't like your club. Not your fans now, just the club as a whole.
Thanks for your good luck message, but thanks to our fantastic Manager, Players, Backroom Staff and of course Mark Ashton, we won't be needing it. |  | | |

Thank you. I can’t believe we’ve done so well either. I thought we’d do ok and possibly challenge for the play offs but this season has been unreal, as has the manner of it. A game to go to try and get over the line. Fingers, toes and eyes crossed. Regardless, it’s been a brilliant season.
I know you didn’t want us to do well and noticed my user name crops up (with associated abuse) a few times in the 91 pages you are up to on us, but alls fair n all that jazz.
I don’t know whether you attended the ITFC v BC game at Portman Road. City were excellent that evening. That and the mixed results, both outstanding and not so good, suggest to me that you’ll have a good go at it next year. I know Manning isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but there’s plenty to like about how he sets a team up. I'd certainly stick with him.
Regarding Ashton, it’d appear that for many on OTIB views are tempered and the spotlight is more on your owners now. It’s difficult because I’m not sure anyone knows how the dynamic at a football club truly works. I suspect MA had more rope at BC than he has here. Even he admits the phone is on all the time for the American owners.
Anyway, good luck for next season. |  | | |

My view re Ashton himself as a person won’t change, but if you go back to my first ever post, you’ll note I always said the “blame” was between Lansdown (the owner), Ashton (CEO) and Johnson (Head-coach).
I think a combo of Steed / O’Leary has meant Ashton has focused on his strength…football administration / business.
At City he was given too much license to “dabble” where he shouldn’t.
(I think the game at your place flattered us…we just sat in a low block, and frustrated you first half. We scored two great goals that gave the impression we played better than we did) | | | |

Yeah I’m still gonna need you to own up to saying Davis wouldn’t get assists in this league |  |

Had Ashton remained at BC I wonder if KMcK would have gone there? |  |
