Ashton hopeful new signings very soon 10:33 - Jun 24 with 4625 viewsitfc_tom

Spoke on BBC Radio Suffolk this morning.

Not sure how to copy and paste link but it’s from 3hrs 12 in on the Mark Murphy breakfast show. Nothing ground breaking but some might want a listen.

Thanks mate, just had a listen. I do enjoy listening to Mark Ashton. Very assured guy that comes across very well. Hopefully that calms some of the fans down

Encouraging regarding him being 'very hopeful' on some signings soon too as no doubt he would be trying to manage expectations when live on the radio


Amazed that anyone would think we're not going to make signings very soon. We've barely got a side, we're looking to shift even more players on, we wouldn't be allowing that unless we were very confident of signing players. Nothing about the approach so far is a surprise nor cause for concern in terms of deviating from the strategy, it's all entirely predictable and in line with what we expected. Questioning whether some of the cast offs could've added some value is another thing altogether.

But we've got 2 in the door already, I imagine we're very close on a couple more and I wouldn't rule out that being 6 or 7 new faces by the time we hit mid-July. Not to mention 2 or 3 loans. People need to chill, these things do take time.

I wonder how 'fairly shortly' ranks on the imminent scale?

I'd suggest there'll be a lot of movement the very first week in July and I think all the fretting and wetting will decrease somewhat

If there isn't much noise that week , God help us all on here

There seems to be people that would also rather we just signed players rather than get better/the right players too. The deals we seem to want to do aren't the type that just fall into line early in the transfer window. It is of course a balancing act as you want players in early enough to have a proper pre-season.

I thought it was interesting that he should name-check Michael Appleton and highlight how well he did last season.

Im amazed that there are fans thinking we are not going to make signings soon too. But there are, hence my comment in my post.

"I expect us to be really strong, competing at the top end of the division and competing for promotion.” this should be all any one needs to read.

Think it's more about their turnaround of players they had and the success that came from it.

Never be afraid to share your thoughts.

Reportedly their first choice but on a long term contract at Lincoln. If he becomes available next season and Cook hasn’t made a good start, I’d think Cook would be out in fairly short order.
