Speaking to a Bristol City supporting friend on Facebook last night who’s local paper are running the story. They really don’t like Ashton. Main complaint seems to be he’s a “Yes” man. |  |

What it means is this....they have invested fairly heavily, have failed to get promoted, and want/need a scapegoat. Hardly unique - see the pelters Clegg/Milne/O'Neill got - with varying degrees of justification. |  |

I imagine it means they have the same opinion of him that many of our supporters seem to have of Lee O’Neill.
Edit: I see BryanPlug has proved my point already! [Post edited 27 Feb 2021 10:20]

I’m only reporting on what’s been said. Their supporters know as much as us about their club. Right or wrong that’s their opinion. | |

You mean it is not just ITFC that have ITK people? We can't have anything for ourselves anymore. | |

No ITK info here. It’s the general opinion of the fan base. Like me telling them Lambert isn’t popular. | |

As a long-time Bristol resident who lives in the heart of City territory, I take their complaints with a pinch of salt.
In my time here they've gone from a struggling L1 side with a ramshackle old stadium to promotion challengers in a superb new ground. I wonder sometimes if half their gripes come from the fact that Bristol Sport, the umbrella organisation they are a part of, seems to invest more in Bristol Rugby - who are flying this season.
But given what has happened to the likes of Bolton, Bury, even Sheffield Wednesday and Derby, Bristol City are sitting pretty with a billionaire who is happy to spend money. Not so long ago they bid £9m for Andre Grey when he was at Brentford. We can only dream of investment like that. |  |

Hasn't Ashton only been there since 2016, though, so not really responsible for much of their recovery?
(not disputing the wider point, don't know much about Bristol City) |  | | |

Yeah he's not been there that long, it's just their overall complaining which usually makes me roll their eyes, so when I see they "hate" Mark Ashton I also remember they "hated" Lee Johnson before he was made manager, some of them "hate" being part of a big sports franchise even though it means they are well backed financially and some of them even "hate" having to share their stadium with a rugby team even though it means loads gets spent on their pitch.
They hate a lot of things, that's my gripe. And why I'd rather go and watch Rovers any day. | |

Take a look at the comments on Bristol City Live on Facebook. As I said, I’m only reporting on what I’ve been told and the general mood amongst their fans. Maybe you should ask them. | |

He can't be that bad. They named the stadium after him! |  | | |

Yeah good point, I'd rather have a "maybe" man |  | | |

I get it that it's what they said, but my point is calling someone a 'yes man' means nothing. It's a real throw away comment. | |
