| Mark Ashton Masterclass v6.0 on 06:49 - Sep 2 by franz_tyson | Bit too early to say how good it is, but it was a hard ask to get this squad somewhere competitive. If we'd stuck with our promotion squad, we'd be relegated already. We do need a bit of luck in not picking up injuries in certain areas. 4 months to the next window. Think they'll be a lot of movement out and probably a few loans in then. I'm still not convinced how good Palacios will be. Could be our best player and leader and brings others up a level or two. Could be a massive disappointment. Fair play for ambition, though. CM seems to be our strength.... or, at least, plenty of depth. Did we need Luis and could we have got a defender instead? |
I agree, quite a lot is going to hinge on Palacios as he will be first pick on the team sheet in such a pivotal posistion. Hope he matches the hype. |  | |  |

Yep, that’s the goal. I made a similar point before, when you see Leeds signing Trafford and Wilson. They are WAY out of our league, yet Leeds were only promoted the year before. They survived, then built again. |  |

| Mark Ashton Masterclass v6.0 on 10:51 - Sep 2 by MattinLondon | Two contrasting views can be correct at the same time. Ashton and the recruitment team allowed the club to have a really good transfer window. Hopefully this will see the club hold its own in the PL - much more so than a couple of seasons ago. Well done Ashton and the recruitment team. Also Ashton is an egotistical prick who allowed hate-preacher Farage a great photo opportunity at the expense of club which in turn gave a lot of racists a massive hard-on. |
innit |  |

We only have to do one thing this time, stay up. We don;t have to be fancy. |  | |  |

As I said, the fact that he allowed hate-preacher Farage a platform gave the dregs of society a massive hard-on. Ashton has a massive ego and comes across as an utter prick. But so far he has been great at his job. |  | |  |

| Mark Ashton Masterclass v6.0 on 10:48 - Sep 2 by Libero | Yeah, get transfer window - but Ashton invited a quasi fascist for lunch, lied about it to the press and supporters, then delivered a textbook non apology to club media when he got caught out, refusing to discuss the matter with any other press outlets. So yeah, fabulous signings, very happy with the window- but… ASHTON OUT. |
Ashton out, Farage in?? |  |

Not for tiffin - he’d have to up his game in terms of cakes and snacks. |  | |  |

Same rules apply as when people claim player X is rubbish (when he's just signed) Not bringing in a CB, i believe, will prove hugely costly. But we will see. Up the Town |  | |  |

| Mark Ashton Masterclass v6.0 on 11:35 - Sep 2 by ITFCSG | Ashton isn't just an egoistic prick who invited Farage over at the expense of the Club. He is also bent on running a quasi-fiefdom as CEO and treats people as idiots, even Blue Action. It is his way or the highway. He is also an inherently dishonest and thick-skinned person who will not bat an eyelid lying to fans and the general public until he gets exposed. |
We're the finest quasi-fiefdom - you'll never sing that. |  |

Absolutely fine. Hated Norwood, but he summed him up nicely with the C bomb |  | |  |

But Coventry are the best team who have ever come up from the Championship and didn't need anywhere near as many signings as us? Right?!? |  | |  |
