Funny how all the talk of Mark Ashton's influence 16:11 - Jan 10 with 4543 viewsThe_Flashing_Smile

has gone quiet. Even the Bristol City fan who keeps popping up has disappeared, unless I've missed him. Not to mention the scrutiny of the coaching staff. Almost as if when you're winning this 'analysis' gets forgotten.

Not having a pop at anyone, it's great that none of this is being discussed. Long may it continue (because that means we're still doing well).

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

It's utterly tragic that a few randoms from a no mark club like Bristol City can come on here and so easily poison the minds of people who couldn't post one factual thing he had actually done wrong.

What are you talking about? We're ten days into the window, haven't signed anyone, our best GK is being recalled and the whole thing's a fecking shambles. Ashton out.

For goodness sake don’t mention the fixated Bristol weird - he will scuttle back on here soon enough I’ve no doubt.

You are right though - it’s great that coaches discussion, ‘analysis’ etc isn’t being talked about at the moment.

Your forum asked for someone to come on and explain why our fanbase felt the way we did. I did that.

If you read my posts, you’ll find a lot of history, facts, mixed with some opinion.

I’ve not actually painted him as the devil, but some if your posters decided that because I didn’t paint him as the messiah either, that I must be jealous or a entitled or don’t like a bloke because he wears a suit (haha, what a joke accusation, I work in the Corporate world). I’ve explained that blame for our mess is not down to one person, but responsibility / accountability does feature in a CEO’s role spec.

It’s funny that you get a couple of results and decide that Ashton should take some credit, but when the previous manager loses a couple, Ashton cannot play a part in the culpability.

Talk about hypocrisy!

Hey-ho.

I have no animosity to your club, Ipswich is a good club (as a fan of another club). I hope you get back to the Championship.

What a swivel-eyed interpretation. Ashton is getting credit for hiring McKenna. He didn't hire Cook.

I don’t and please don’t.

Went to a Bristol Rovers Wembley game against Grimsby a few years ago (a friend follows Grimsby and it was a play off or FA Trophy game). We shared a drink or two with the Rovers supporters. A nice lot. They call Bristol City ‘Teds’. A much nicer name than the Sheffield clubs who call each other Pigs. Cute thought I. Then somebody told us the full version…..

No offence to Bristol but they haven't been in the top flight for a considerably longer time than even us and seem to be in just about their best shape since whenever that was?

They've moved on a lot and Ashton was part of that, whether they like it or not, from an outsider looking in he helped progress them

They also forget what proceeded him, the likes of Clegg who was certainly not a football man
