measured piece from the EADT https://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/2
think its by and large what most fans recognise is needed at this point especially as we've been hitting the national press for all the wrong reasons. your move mr. ashton...... |  | | |  |

Good piece. Seems a good egg Mark Heath.
Think there is a chance that Ashton will do an in house media interview to clear some stuff up. This isn't going way. |  |

But if you don't agree you've made a mistake why apologise ? It's not getting worse by the hour but Mike Heath has decided to dredge it up again. Mark Ashton has my full support and we wouldn't be where we are today without him. |
If the club can't see they've made a mistake then there is more wrong here than we ever thought! |  | | |

It's all a bit meaningless now though isn't it? Any apology this late after the event is clearly because they have been forced into it and because they think they need to for economic reasons. They had one shot at killing this with the initial statement they put out and they stuffed it up. |
Well yes, but also depends what they come out and apologise for - it isn't just letting Farage taking a few photos now that requires answers. |  | | |

The scene: Town TV studio
Matt Holland playing Jeremy Paxman role. Opening gambit: “So Mark, a heck of a week.”
Ashton, clenching his coffee cup so tightly it breaks, “let me be very clear, everyone else involved here was not giving the best version of themselves….” Continues for 30 mins of soundbite and waffle. |  |

I'm guessing that they expect reform to win the council elections and were just looking to get in their good books. Help with planning issues etc.
A calculated gamble that has become a PR nightmare. If they can come out and explain things honestly then everyone can move on. |  | | |

"Been consuming a lot of oxygen."
"We'll get things wrong."
"Do the right things when nobody's looking."
"I'll never apologise for doing the best thing for the club."
"Whatever you do, you'll get criticism from someone."
"Sorry if anyone was upset/disappointed." | |

As an aside, I'm assume that some posters on here will be writing to the EADT to point out that it's only 40 or so posters on here who are upset about this affair.....
Also, the article does make clear that reform rocked up with a filming crew, and that it wasn't filmed on a phone on the sly, as some have been keen to suggest. [Post edited 26 Mar 12:51]

You’ll get a full mea culpa from the club before that happens. |  |

Good egg other than the fact he strongly disagrees with Yorkshire Pudding with Christmas dinner. |  |

It also suggests this isn't just going to go away. Sticking their head in the sand is not an option.
And I doubt McKenna is very happy being put into memes with quotes like "Work will set you free".
The club have brought this onto everyone and need to come out and show some proper contrition. |
That meme did tickle me.
The other one of the banner in the NS saying "the future's white" also amused me.
The odd funny meme is the only thing I can take solace in from all this. | | | |

Emergency pod time Joe? I think it needs to be aired by you guys who can discuss this sensibly.
We were absolutely rinsed on the second tier today. |
He already said yesterday they wouldn't touch it.
Which I think is remiss - however, easy for me to say as I have no skin in the game.
Now the EADT have broken ranks though I hope BM will also. [Post edited 26 Mar 15:48]

I didn't say we wouldn't touch it, just that I was away and we had half planned on having a week off.....I think there is goign to be a show now but as I'm away not sure what plan will be etc but imagine it's going to be impossible to avoid!
Anyone that didn’t realise…. by itfcjoe 25 Mar 9:29I'm not actually about on Sunday, and we were planning to have a week off ahead of the run in last I heard - I haven't caught up with the other guys directly about it but (speaking for myself, not as BM) probably not an area we would want to go into other than to highlight how this isn't 'apolitical' without giving major views on the actual party involved.

I think it’s the right thing.

Joe, genuine question, and I say this as a big fan of the BM output and all involved, but how can you position yourselves to comment on this when there was no mention on the podcast during the Morsy Rainbow Laces situation? |  | | |

Latest update also debunks the 'it was AI' angle that some have been determined to push. |  |

Because one was an individuals' choice and the other was club-sanctioned. One player wearing an armband or not is a different order of magnitude to the club parading the most controversial politician in the country around the stadium. | | | |

Did we not say anything on that? I genuinely can't remember but know I was very outspoken on the matter on here in a personal capacity - would have thought I'd have said something if on the pod then but if I didn't then should have done | |

No
Apologies but there was nothing
Unless I'm very wrong (wouldn't be the first time) but as someone who's listened to every episode from the first episode I as surprised it wasn't covered as I had my own views which appear to align with your own
So my point is now do you feel comfortable as a team addressing this as you didn't then
But I guess this has now become a bigger story with global coverage and along with the EADT's stance this morning you don't really have a choice anyway  | | | |
