We did it guys. We stole march on absolutely no-one, beat off zero competition and finally nailed our guy. A guy who joined his previous club 6 months ago on a free, made almost no impression whatsoever and who no-one was remotely bothered to lose.
That man is GON. Now the 10th most expensive manager in UK football history.
That's now £13.5 million pounds on Akpom, Kipre and O'neill.
Mark Ashton is an idiot prince and he will destroy us all. [Post edited 23 Jun 21:43]

The thing that concerns/bothers me slightly, is we've spent that money knowing that in a few months we'll be getting in £8m when Mr.McKenna joins a new team after his "break"
Can't help but think thats round the corner |  | | |

A very big investment. The same as a 25m signing on a 5-year deal in the accounts? |
Some people talk some guff on here.
Yes £5m is the same as £25m..........
In the first year OK. What about the next 4?
We're in the PL now. If we're getting concerned over €5m we probably should not bother trying this season. | | | |

Wow. Some people are really going extreme on his aren't they?
O'Neil is nowhere near as bad as previous manager sin the last decade. His record isn't THAT bad.
You might not like the appointment or its "boring" but to say they hope the team "rots in hell" is really weird and unstable. | | | |

It's not, no. | | | |

Astonishing amount, surely. How does that stop people saying it's lazy or easy option anyway? Sounds like spurious logic.
Saying that, I don't think it's a bad appointment per se. Uninspiring maybe, but pragmatic. And a better bet than OGS for example, in my fvckwitted but humble opinion.
Slightly miffed if unsurprised that no one has been brought in with similar seniority to Ashton to help oversee things. Not wanting to get into the whole debate about you know what, and he's obviously done a lot of good things. But an elite football business bod he is not.
Not saying he's a chancer, and his McK gamble paid off spectacularly... but the stakes are significantly higher. |  |

Not worth getting antsy over several accounts on X, who all seem to use drama to engagement farm for clicks and edgelord points.
Similar to several on here.
Huge difference between those people and those who are simply underwhelmed by the appointment. | | | |

€5m doesn't put him top 10 according to this
https://www.thinkfootballideas
No idea how accurate it is, but the top 10 starts at £5m so there's clearly a way to go |  | | |

I liked the comment that he'd got the order of the letters in his username wrong  | | | |

Well said, Ashton is def not an elite football operator. KM will be however an elite football manager in his career, no doubt and he was the star of the show to get us here. |  | | |

To add, if he dropped the corporate flannel chat I could probably take him more seriously, but yeah big red flags waving all over the gaff. | | | |

Chelsea took Potter for £20m from Brighton, and Marseca is going to cost Man City around the same fee.
Crazy world of money football. |  | | |

Props to him tbf, but could he do it again, and when the stakes are higher? I guess time will tell. But I don't like how the club seems to have become his fiefdom. | |
