Ashton convinced McKenna won't leave this summer 18:21 - Jun 27 with 2859 viewsgsoly

This one passed me by. Ashton on TalkSport with White & Jordan this morning.



Answer on McKenna from 5:50:

"We sat down right at the end of the season at my house one night, looked each other in the eye, and said are we in? Are you in for this Kieran?

"And he was very clear and said absolutely Mark. We've got a job to do and I want to take us back up."

Haven't heard it as clear cut before. He's here to stay.

Absolutely happy with that.

Glad to hear it. Stability is all. Especially at the top.

Welll, he isn’t off to Brentford or Spurs. I don’t see any other vacancies to tempt him...

He was fully ‘in’ before speaking to Crystal Palace…, agreeing terms with Brighton, speaking to Chelsea, and most recently Brentford.

That anyone takes Ashton at face value is bizarre.

35 years, zero elite success, not to detract where he’s had success in the EFL, but this summer running about getting selfies with boxers and pop stars sums him up.

Ego and control. They’re limiting factors at this level.

No category one, while league one clubs manage it, a depleted and very unbalanced squad, and FOUR YEARS since the promised foreign talent ID network we desperately crave.

He can’t delegate, he can’t appoint people better than him, to support the clubs needs.

I can see why Watford said on his departure ‘try and find someone to say a good word about Mark, you won’t’

The same mistakes, repeated for 35 years.

It’s not what anyone wants to hear, but it’s true. He isn’t at the level we need if we want to progress.

His ‘we’re better in the EFL’ interview was pathetic!!

You didn’t spend £150 million and only leave us with a 34 year old in midfield if you thought we’d end up back here.., and having our assets picked apart on the pitch.

Maybe focus on the football, and less about Eds autograph!

The bloke’s overseen the most successful footballing period and largest off-pitch improvement and overhaul in a generation. Just because you clearly don’t like the man, you can’t deny the above.

I think he might be Marcus Evans.

With Andrews being promoted at least there won't be a huge potential merry-go-round of managers.

I'd love him to do a Sir Bob and be here for many years but if he takes us back up and leaves I'll have no problem with that.

To be fair to Ashton, it can’t be easy living in the shadow of all the spectacular achievements of Simon Clegg and Ian Milne.

I’ve not seen anything to suggest he was talking to Brentford and had he actually agreed terms with Brighton?

Well said - the two decades before were great before Ashton and McKenna.

How does one achieve this level of entitlement?
