Made me laugh when I read that. Perhaps the most Mark Ashton thing Mark Ashton has ever said. |  |

I detest LinkedIn. It’s basically just Facebook for people who can write and spell properly (or no doubt done through chatGPT). [Post edited 30 May 13:27]

It’s horrendous. Gone way downhill the last few years. Full of pseudo-inspirational life advice and other look at me nonsense, as well as frequent spam messages. |  |

Ashton interview in the EADT on 13:41 - May 30 with 4456 views | ParisBlue | Last paragraph: “We have to take our learnings. We need to be more effective and more ready if we go up again." Surprised by the "if" not "when" given the number of times he's mentioned "when" before we got there, even when we were languishing in L1. I'm expecting a KM/MA club interview shortly, maybe even tonight (they seem to drop these things on Friday evenings) |  |

Ashton interview in the EADT on 13:58 - May 30 with 4221 views | itfcsuth | As I always say, you cannot fault the man or the club for being so good with communicating with the fans - it is something we have been starved of, and they are very very good at it, even in difficult moments - real gratitude for that. Lot's of it is what has probably been discussed throughout the season on the board, and lots of common sense comments in there. Love the ending message though - in essence we've done the dress rehearsal, trial run and practice lap, but when we go again, we stay up! [Post edited 30 May 14:00]

I think that was the anecdote about him washing some mugs up when he first came to the club, It included the Brentian @So what does Mark do?" |  |

He will have plenty to say about himself next time we win a game. Probably a double page spread. |  | |  |

Perhaps suggests an add-on/add-ons with the Delap deal, or a sell-on clause. |  |

£30m+ would include £30m. |  |

Did it seem just a PR exercise to you? Almost tying to show they're are not hiding away after a terrible 2025 but without really saying anything tbh. Fair enough I guess but looking forward to this transfer window! Business starts now. |  | |  |

£30mill plus includes £30mill IMO. Otherwise you’d say more than £30mill. |  |

No need to say plus if it means £30m, however poster above has clarified, that the plus could mean add ons. So £30m plus add ons. £30m plus usually means more than £30m but less than £40m - in finance. |  | |  |

Sales means more than one sale….I think.it’s probably best not to get too hung on his exact wording. He’s just making a point that kind of fees we’ve been trading would have seemed unimaginable a couple of years ago. |  | |  |
