McKenna Ashton Interview 16:39 - Feb 26 with 4116 views | pennblue | Interesting comments from McKenna about buying young and exciting prospects, which is not always going to give you instant success. But McKenna is (rightfully) highlighting the fact that is what our player recruitment strategy is, and he is working within the constraints of that (you would assume), as opposed to going for a Sheff Wed type model, where we fill the team of 28-32 year olds who have more experience and 'nouse' to get out a League. Just interesting I thought as 'promotion this season is a must' is not really compatible with our player recruitment strategy. [Post edited 26 Feb 2023 17:21]

McKenna Ashton Interview on 14:15 - Feb 27 by Slimitfc91 | And you still have a negative view of the club ?, it’s about slow, steady, sustainable growth, the club has progressed this season and will continue to do so in future seasons. Sheffield Weds finished in the play offs last season, Ipswich finished mid table |
I've not said anything about the club. I responded to donnie. |  |

You said non promotion would be a failure, I would suggest that is you being negative about the club |  | |  |

McKenna Ashton Interview on 17:40 - Feb 27 with 318 views | OldFart71 | Ultimately the aim must be to get into the Premier League and stay there. Not doing a Norwich and being a yo-yo club. Eventually the need to sell players when dropping down a league leads to the inability to recruit the necessary players to gain promotion again. You have to have fantastic scouting and a bit of luck and whilst parachute payments help if players sign multi million pound contracts in the Premier League or there are clauses in their contracts stating their wages will increase dependant on which league they are in most will except an increase but few will accept a decrease especially if they are early to mid twenties or have exceptional goal scoring exploits in the Prem. |  | |  |
