(Which I absolutely love).

General feeling seems to be a willingness to move on. Though with real frustration over the way it’s been handled. Certainly seemed to be the thrust of most of the commenters in the chat.

Finding it hard to forgive and forget without more contrition from Ashton but I may be on the wrong side of the public mood.

Have the club heard the fans? Yes. And apologised.
I'm sorry that I need to ask you this, but I have for most who have brought this up. It is a genuine question that I am yet to hear the answer for.

What is it that Ashton has actually apologised for? (Not why has he apologised, but what is the stated reason for the apology?)

Also:
People who are desperately calling for Ashtons head are almost certainly personally upset due to their personal political views
I suggest (and I totally appreciate if you have neither the time, nor the inclination) you read the board from the past couple of days to see that whilst, yes, for some people, politics does come into it. For a large number of us this has nothing to do with politics at all.

Libero

It wasn’t a great episode- more chat from Ben about the alleged personal abuse he had received than the pertinent issues at hand.

Appreciated the other guy articulating well, but he was somewhat generous towards Ashton at points, real benefit of the doubt stuff- which I respect that some people would want to maintain an optimistic output.

I think the refusal to address that Farage is a politician who holds hateful and divisive views is weak- simply saying “it’s down to the identity of the politician” is weak.

Mark Ashton invited a quasi-fascist to lunch, lied about it and then made a painfully poor apology while insinuating others were lying, not him.

I think the episode needed a third person in there to create a more meaningful or at least varied conversation- I understand not wanting to burn professional bridges with the club, but it was all a bit safe and lacking in any real opinion.
