"Players are understood to have reacted similarly, while a number of sponsors, believed to include Halo, the University of Suffolk and Ed Sheeran, all contacted the Blues giving their thoughts on the matter."
and the owners aren't happy
"The Town board held an emergency meeting last Thursday and discussions between the various investment groups which make up the ownership are understood to be continuing, the visit having come as an unwelcome surprise to the US arm of the club, who had little or no knowledge of Farage or Reform until the story broke."
more than anything else, owners/sponsors being unhappy is probably what means Ashton has to step down in the summer. |  | | |  |

Ashton's "elements of our fanbase are hurting" without mentioning all the other stakeholders seems ever more of an understatement. His apology doesn't touch the sides. This is beyond an apology now. [Post edited 1 Apr 18:02]

Its clear that after Thursdays board meeting, Ashton was ordered (under duress) to issue that Marcus Evans style interview / apology. [Post edited 1 Apr 16:00]

i'd rather he stepped down now; would bring much-needed unity and give us time to recruit for the vital transfer window opening | |

What was the conclusion of their emergency meeting? Say little, do nothing, go to the Winchester, and wait for it to all blow over? |  | | |

Well, it's working. I realise that's not really the point and it's not the strongest response but with each passing day the issue (generally, for the fanbase, not certain individuals) become a bit less of an issue.
So it's reasonably effective. | |

It's always going to be an issue for me. I'm just going to stop banging on about it, as I realise how tedious it is (that is not to say that it is any less important).
I'll just express my frustration in other ways, such as no longer spending any money on the club (or as little as possible).
Not exactly the world's greatest protest, sure, but I don't see why I have to make other people's lives more miserable because they don't agree with me. [Post edited 1 Apr 16:13]

i don't think that's the case,
very strong koa podcast about it came out just yesterday,
news of the sponsors and owner's issues coming further into the light,
reform continuing to treat us as a joke on their social media,
opposition fans continuing to laugh at us
think it's ramping up, if anything | |

You can take some solace from the fact that Ashton is now FOREVER tainted, and many people now see beyond the façade. | |

The Norwich match will be fun;
Surely a song with 'Que Farage Farage', to the tune of Que Sera Sera of course.
And a few thousand Farage masks.
It will be an uncomfortable day for Ashton. | |

I totally appreciate the sentiment but, truth be told, I take absolutely no solace in that at all.
I'm just very sad about it all. | |

Exactly. It cleanses our image and arguably there's less for a CEO to do now than in the summer.
Give it Westy for the rest of the season! [Post edited 1 Apr 16:23]

The rainbow rising quietly behind a building that is sloughing off the dark must have taken a while to find. I wouldn't be surprised if Osborne 1.0 needs to be unplugged to cool down and have a couple of valves changed. |  |

I bet his apology to the owners was more sincere than his apology to the fans and staff, to try and keep his job. | | | |

And the question that’s been asked a hundred times, “why, Mark? For what?” Nothing to be gained from meeting with such a toxic individual in such a clandestine way. Could have avoided fking his career just by being open, saying it was a meeting about football regulator. That easy. But no, ego takes over. Game over. |  |

As I was saying to somebody else, what poor judgement. Not just the invitation but the lies to media and the fanbase. He could have delivered another promotion and the completion of the new training facilities.
Completely tarnished any legacy he may have had. | |

That's the point isn't it, the lies and attempted squirming away from the light, any credibility with supporters and others is now gone. I never warmed to him but appreciated what appeared to be a good job, now I just want him gone as soon as, he can't be the senior man at a club like ITFC it's a terrible, terrible fit. |  |
