Now that we have a higher profile, other clubs' avaricious intentions are becoming a danger, and I'm becoming increasingly worried about being smothered by Bristol City's.

Or not.
I am looking forward to some witty Ashton songs when we play them. "We've got smarmy Marky Ashton......" Any takers??
"They break our legs and tell us to be grateful when they offer us crutches."
Be careful what you wish for. As him and O’Leary were instrumental in bringing the Bristol City franchise here I’m sure he’s got a very nice severance package lined up for himself.
I suspect if the franchise hadn’t got promoted he’d have been sacked already. As it is I doubt the spreadsheet said -£25 million to get back into the second division. I suspect the owners, both pretend and real think much the same of him as those Bristol City fans - and will terminate him with extreme prejudice the moment the figures don’t add up.

You really don’t like Ipswich Town and those who sail in her very much, do you.
We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub.

Trumpers - what exactly do you mean by 'the Bristol City franchise'?

What on earth are you on about? Dear god
They’ve explained how Ashton was appointed. If you are calling them liars, be brave and call them out at the fans forum. Or, how about asking for an explanation in writing. I’m sure he’ll oblige.
£25m to get us promoted. Breakdown of the figures please. How much did we lose to get relegated in the 80s, 90s , 2000s and in 2019?
Who are the pretend owners and who are the real?
Actually, please don’t bother. Just sit mouldering in your own misery like Jacob Marley.

I really hope at BCFC we give him a song… when 2-0 up

Another viewpoint having read the reasons for fans making him a pantomine villain is that hes learnt from his mistakes Positives- great at genersting an increase in revenue and commercial activity and this seems apparent with ipswich Good at negotiating both players coming in and going out Great recruitment team The biggest dislike they have is that he appojnted dean holden who was an unknown and it didnt work out and that fittness levels decreased ? Hes clearly learnt his lesson and stayed clear of any involvment with playing setup and coaching and there is a bigger setup here of coaches that no their roles The last pount is people seemed to feel he was arrogant and saying 'I' instead of we when claiming credit again hes not coming accross like that at all and has stayed clear of any negative interview infact he speaks very well and connects with fans and its refreshing we dont hear off him for large parts of the season .

Getting boring now...say hi to Chico and the others in my Div room
Can it be announced the day we play Bristol City and beat them. Think we need some good songs for him and a banner or two to show our appreciation! They really are a bitter bunch..

I do worry for you old boy - one of these days Ipswich will has a struggle and I doubt your ticker will be able to take the excitement.
You really don’t like Ipswich Town and those who sail in her very much, do you.
He has a habit of posting absolute nonsense and the disappearing when challenged. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but when he presents such nonsense as fact as is often the case it really should be able to be backed up.
Most of us are fine with Ipswich Town…as I’ve said before…they are a team the neutral fan takes to, a decent club, with decent history.
But Ashton was a complete weapon at our club, as he was as Oxford and Watford beforehand.
Enjoy him. He may be the best thing ever for your club. Good luck if he is. But he was part (a big part) of leaving our club in an awful position.
The despise of Ashton by Bristol City fans is classic football fan stuff really. He did some good things there and made some mistakes but basically everything that has gone wrong for them or not gone right has be laid at his door. He's become their Paul Lambert basically....(brought a lot on himself by the end but ultimately had no chance to succeed under the regime and the despise is probably a bit OTT). Obviously Ashton is not the manager and is more capable then Lambert....I'm not.forgiving Lambert all sins I'm just saying collectively as fans it's kind of nature to pin all blame on someone.
Ashton has literally proven over the last two years that he is.extremely capable. He has brought in a fantastic backroom team and football manager. Commercially he has been outstanding with shirt sales, ticket sales etc. Put 10k a game on bums on seats. Nothing short of fantastic.
Is he extremely cheesy and hints of David Brent. Yes. Does he use hyperbole and oversell what's going on a bit. Yes probably (but he should, that's what he should be doing - it's positive energy breeding more positivity). Do Ipswich fans swallow everything he says as completely accurate. Some yes and some no (again nornal). BUT has he got excellent contacts, done good deals and been overwhelmingly positive for the club to date. Absolutely yes.
As with anything in football things can change fast. Bad signing and bad decisions. An be made. He will be accountable but he's built a level.of trust and that is deserved.
