If its a bunch of Maga leaning Americans, they may well be right behind all this and indeed actively complicit or encouraging connections with Farage.
We don't really know.
Ashton, for all the stupid innuendo that some throw his way, has done a fantastic job for this club and has, to date, appeared to act with commitment, integrity and a huge amount of energy and vision from which we have massively benefited. It is tragic that this situation has been created, especially now at the "business end" of a crucial potential promotion season, as football parlance would have it.

The fans can make it untenable. I don’t believe owners are going to stick by a CEO IF the crowd are chanting for his removal.
They normally sack managers in that situation. Can’t see them poisoning the well
For a CEO. | | | |

Even if they are personally, they have shown to be focused on business until now so will not have wanted the lies and consequences for commercial deals etc that this will have. | |

As fans we aren't powerless. We can make our discontent known in many ways, and I plan on continuing to do so. |  |

You would hope so.
How you sell a club to a player from a minority, when there is now a clear endorsement and connection with Farage is hard to see.
I wonder whether Mehmeti would have signed, for instance, if this was out a couple of months back. | |

Phil commented on a post earlier, and said that he believes that a good amount of the ownership group are not the MAGA type. | |

If we are owned by people who have encouraged this whole thing. It will be bringing to an end a very long personal association. |  | | |

Even if they were, Farage is incredibly insignificant on the global stage. Added to that, ITFC is a fairly insignificant investment given the size of these funds’ portfolios. |  |

Even if they are, ITFC isn't a hobby/status symbol/personal thing for the ownership group, in the same way that a lot of sports teams are for their US owners.
It's an investment, and if Ashton's actions look set to jeopardise the value of that investment, they'll pull the plug on him without a second thought, regardless of whether they agree with his politics. | |

Agree. |
Disagree, business savvy execs generally don't get to the top by putting personal politics above independent business decisions. |  |

I mean even if some of the ownership are pro Trump, Phil suggested this probably is not the case, it doesnt matter...now comes across like the club hugely exaggerated or flat out lied in the statement (add to MA's lack of a statement).
Up until now, I thought this 'saga' was a little bit unpleasant with all the ITFC footage for Reform (not concerned about political figures at the club though). Now i think resignations should be in order, difficult to excuse this. |  | | |

Not only would a large proportion of the fan base be able to force that, but the staff and players. He's also undermined whatever integrity he was projecting and has come across very much as someone who's judgement is flawed. | | | |

Yeah, let’s see what happens when sponsors started making noises…
I’m not sure our private equity owners will take too kindly to losing money. | | | |

A few fans,the same ones going over and over it. The wider fan base couldn’t give a flying fcku. Talk about wetting yourselves. Get a life go outside,get some air. All this keyboard warrior nonsense isn’t good for your health. |  | | |

maybe take your own advice, the vast, vast majority on here don't like being lied to.
it's the general decent, human reponse. only a contrarian keyboard warrior would say otherwise | |

There are an awful lot of key board warriors on here,morning to night. Get a life mate,maybe a girlfriend even ? Go get a hobby. Stop trying to get people sacked,it’s what wrong with society,people always looking to ruin people’s lives,get pleasure from it do you ? | | | |

Stop trying to get integrity and inclusivity treated as important?
That's what you are really saying.

I think they would have done it by now if they were going to.
But have a feeling they will wait until the Brum game. If lots of people dont go and/or lots of anti songs then he goes, but if the anti songs are cancelled out with 'Farge is one of our own' they will probably keep him. |  | | |

From the sounds of it, he's lost a lot of the staff.
The owners won't ignore that | | | |

If the owners encouraged or facilitated it then the club should come out and say so. It wouldn’t be consistent with the statement they put out though would it. | |
