We teach our children to apologise when they’ve done wrong. Ashton has put his hands up and said sorry. When have we stopped accepting apologies?
Some dissecting every word of his apology. You can’t win with these people. Cross them and you’re finished. Their way or the highway. |
I personally think that we need to start reading words and understanding them. There is no apology there for the things that needed to be apologised for (in a totally apolitical way) |  | | |

Did he? Ashton hasn’t admitted any error, but blamed the club for a misjudgment. Sounds a lot like shirking responsibility to me |
And when he comes out and speaks like it’s he who built the training ground, or it’s he who signed a certain player, people will critcise him for speaking about a me me attitude. He can’t win.
The mistake made was on him and the club as that’s the way the media will portray it which is important. His statement was correct. He’s apologising on behalf of himself and to a wider audience the club. |  | | |

Do you also ask your politicians for apologies that would make you happy when they dodge their lies once again? Must be a frustrating existence for you not having everyone do what you want. |
I'm not quite sure what you're asking here.
Do I want politicians and football club CEOs to behave with honesty and integrity? Er, yes? Is that bad? Did I do a woke? [Post edited 27 Mar 22:29]

So if someone intentionally broke your leg with a hammer, then said he didn't have a hammer, then finally said 'You're feeling very hurt, I'm sorry you're feeling this way' would you class that as a sincere and meaningful apology? [Post edited 27 Mar 22:21]

Far too deep tbf. He fooked up and apologised. He didn’t hurt or kill anyone. This guy clearly loves working for the club. Cut the man some slack. | | | |

You’re living in a dream world if you think that’s realistic, and ask yourself who is it you would vote for in a general election now and have they always and consistently told the truth? I doubt it, they’re all liars, that’s my point. I don’t know why people expect any different but the drama on here over this apology is stupid. |  | | |

Such a pathetic response.
You are the one so deeply entrenched, the normal ones amongst us really dont get it.
Abuse ? |  | | |

But Mark Ashton isn't a politician. He's CEO and director of ITFC. Directors must act in good faith to promote the company’s success. That's not me saying it, it's the Companies Act. Do you think MA acted in good faith and fulfilled his fiduciary duties this week?
There's clear grounds for gross misconduct and not much of a payoff. Get out of our club. [Post edited 27 Mar 22:51]

I wouldn’t get as worked up as yourself and a few others about it.
You got an apology and yet you can’t/won’t move on. In other words, you’ll keep hounding the man until he quits. I find that sad. | | | |

Absolutely spot on.
Non apology. PR nonsense without a shred of genuine sentiment, other than regret at being caught. | |

classic reform non-apology, you can tell who he's been spending time with! | |

Let's be honest, from the moment he walked through the door, he's always been a business buzzword blush*tter, and we know he's a business buzzword bullsh*tter, and we've put up with the business buzzword bulls*it because he's been talking about business.
However, the apology is also full of business buzzword bullsh*t. It's more like, 'I'm sorry you feel that way," "I'm sorry that what happened happened," and not, "I'm sorry for what I did."
I'm not sure I appreciate the angle that it comes from, about how "the football club has lessons to learn," because mistakes were made. They weren't made by "the football club", they were made by you, pal. |  | | |

He really comes across as someone who is not very bright.
His 'apology' is three minutes of nothing.
He is sorry that some people are upset, and we are stronger moving on together as one. He said each of those things several times.
I am none the wiser as to:
1) what he thinks he may have done wrong
2) what he thinks the reason for people's annoyance is
3) whether he accepts he had lunch with Farage, or invited Farage, or gifted him some shirts, or fangirled around Farage while he signed a shirt for him
4) which elements of what has been reported are said by him to constitute "mistruths".
If he lied, he must say why, and say sorry.
If he did not lie, he needs to tell us his version of events, and what elements of what has been reported are false.
He must also tell us WHAT HAPPENED.
If he'd done that in his propaganda interview, then I may well think it's time to move on and focus on the football. But he is just compounding these errors by continuing with a lack of transparency, a total arrogance, and a vacuity that has always characterised the man. He can only speak in corporate speak, and seemingly he only thinks (insofar as he thinks) in that vapid language too.
He's like a junior PE teacher who's been erroneously promoted to be headteacher in a primary school and who is consequently out of his depth.
Even if his head is not to roll, it would be bewildering if the leadership at Town does not think we need to reinstate the role of Chairman, for conventional, orthodox, oversight of executive management. We even had that in Evans' day ffs.... |  | | |

How about seeing it another way then
We've had the clubs apology
How about Mark Ashtons. |  |

The way I listened to it is that we had the Chairman apologising on behalf of the club. Ins not yet heard from the CEO for his personal responsibility - I may email the Chairman to ask if he's going to ensure the CEO finally speaks to the community. |  | | |

Oh sod off.
Ive supported you, backed you, Ive never been "everything's great" as you, but I admire your positivity.
Now... youve morphed into a repetitive noise.
What exactly do you want, as someone who loves the club as much as you ? |
Repetitive noise, you say? |  |

I think the issue is it's such a missed open goal to heal immediately after the error. The bland statement, the non-apology... how much are our PR people paid? We're they even consulted? Somehow Ashton has taken a mess and made it worse when it wasn't difficult to ease concerns. Considering what he came up with yesterday, I'm wondering what took him three/four days? | |

We normally agree on most things JD but unfortunately not this one.
MA has apologised unreservedly and it’s time we all move on. |
"MA has apologised unreservedly and it’s time we all move on."
Are you trying to speak for the whole fanbase? Those who are apologists for Farage and our Chairman being a bare faced liar, will move on. The rest of us don't accept his 'apology' |  |
