What a shame. Years of goodwill all undone in a day of miscalculations.
Whatever happens, whatever your opinion on Faragegate, I think we can all be grateful of what he has done for our club. It is night and day compared to what it was in the past.
For the record, I strongly hope he doesn't, but I can't see this panning out any other way. |  | | |  |

He's done a lot of good, I won't take that away from him.
This level of incompetence is something I really can't get my head around though.
On a personal level I seriously question his judgement in who he keeps company with, but that's really his personal choice and I'd defend that if he did it in his own time, that's his prerogative and free choice is an important cornerstone of democracy.
Doing it with our club is nothing short of disgusting, using such a proud club to feed his own ego, without a care for the supporters, staff, players, those people he purports to represent.
He's nothing short of a disgrace. |  | | |

He's not going to have a say and soon the sponsors will start pulling out or at least making noises.
And once one of them does the others will follow otherwise they'll also look complicit.
If he doesn't resign he'll be fired. |  | | |

Well I presume we will be chanting Ashton Out until he does. I think we can make his position impossible and we should.
The whole communications dept of the club is being wielded to protect one person. | | | |

No chance. At the absolute most, the club will insert a Chairman at some stage, which they should have done all along. |  | | |

There is 0% chance of him resigning. He thinks he has done nothing wrong, that much is evident from the club's reaction. He ultimately doesn't care what we think. The only way he leaves is if he is fired. | | | |

He's got to go, he's lost all trust and damaged the brand (horrible word I know). |  |

Hitler did a lot of good improving the fortunes for the German people. He still a horribly racist and antisemitic man.
Ashton did a lot of good but it would appear he is either a friend or a fan of Farage who is a deeply racist and disgusting person. This means Ashton either condones it or worse, agrees with it.
Neither are acceptable for somebody running this club and he has to go. |  | | |

Maybe so, my point is more that his ego is far too big for him to fall on his sword over this matter. | | | |

Maybe he was given notice and this was his way of saying fk you to the owners....
I just can't get my head around how he would think this situation would be anything but negative and incredibly bad for the club he runs |  |

100% agreed. As I have stated on other threads (and we may disagree over this, that's OK) do I particularly care that he hosted Farage especially? No, I'd be peed off if he hosted anyone politically. It's just not right for a football club, especially not a family one like ours. I'd get it if Forest Green hosted Polanski, but not Ipswich.
If he wants to go see Nigel for a dinner in his own time, meh, fine, do as you please Mark.
But bang on. It's all about his ego isn't it. Lying about it to the fans too....yeah. Ridiculous lack of judgement. [Post edited 26 Mar 17:39]

True , and I think even the farage fanatics who support the team , would agree this has gone beyond politics and they have treated us all like scum. |  | | |

It's funny you should say that.
I had a conversation with another poster on here a couple of months back, and was told to 'keep an eye on a potential CEO upgrade if we go up'.
It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if his precious ego hasn't reacted well to being told something along those lines. | |

Remarkably similar to the bank CEO who had to step down a few years ago after a seemingly glittering career and a short lapse of judgement when it came to Farage. |  | | |

I couldn’t agree more.

That’s my stance as well.
He’s done so much good and thrown the whole lot away by simply deciding he wants to be mates with Farage and willingly chucked the entire reputation of our football club onto the flames to do so.
Whenever Farage and football is brought up, people will instantly associate them with us now. And when people think of Ipswich, Farage likewise will be thought of by many. It’s sickening. And it’s the fact Ashton chose to do it for his own benefit that makes it worse |  |

Forget the politics, forget about the whataboutery, the lying, deception and sheer incompetence should mean that he has to go. His credibility is shot. |  | | |

We shouldn’t be worried about whether Ashton resigns or not.
We should be worried about the impact this has on others at the club. For example could this disgraceful episode hasten Kieran McKenna’s departure. Will it impact on the players and ultimately damage our chances of promotion.
Hopefully it will create a siege mentality and focus the attention of Coaching staff, players and supporters on collectively doing everything possible to get back to the top flight.
When the season starts again, against Birmingham, nothing short of total commitment will satisfy our ambitions. |  |

That's my thinking. There's a reason he's done this, and a reason why he's refusing to apologise or openly accuse Farage of lying. | |

Had wondered about that. Minister of Sport in a Farage lead coalition government. | |

He brought energy, Cat 1, new training ground, and most importantly Kieran McKenna. But has underperformed in the last 18 months. Most major signings either can't make the first team or have been loaned out. We've wasted a lot of money.
Regardless, there's no coming back after breaking the bond of trust with supporters this week. We won't miss Mark Ashton. We can and will do better than him. [Post edited 26 Mar 18:56]

Expanding on this...
Perhaps he's been given notice, but decided to turn it into a PR coup for Führage for ostensibly getting sacked for being pro-Reform? You just know that's how it'll be spun by the frog-faced racist if it does happen. | |
