I know almost everyone wants Ashton gone for politicising the club and then lying about it, but I have a "devil's advocate" view. I know there are around 20 similar threads like this, but I won't receive as much attention if I just add to them. So I've decided to start a new thread that starts as follows.
I'm no great fan of Reform, but have you considered that Mark Ashton once came across a goose, and *didn't* say boo to it?
Plus, I'm no fan of Nigel Farage, but we wouldn't be having this conversation if MA had held a publicity event for the Green Party, made ITFC officially anti-NATO, and decked the tunnel with "Polanski 10" shirts.
Switching to a leadership team that doesn't use the club as a Reform promotion vehicle will be too distracting for Kieran and the team. The best thing to do at this stage of the season is to pretend this week didn't happen, and get behind the team! All as one, and one for all!
I know I'm going to get downvotes and negative replies for this, but I've stayed in the silent majority for long enough. Glad I could get that off my chest. |  | | |  |

The "Polanski" narrative that a subset of posters are pushing on here is very weird.

In life, have you generally found that the 'pretend it didn't happen' approach tends to work? | | | |

Why would anyone not get behind the team? |  |

Did you really need a whole new thread when commenting here would do?
"There wouldn't be this outrage if it was Starmer or Polanski" by urbanpenguin 27 Mar 12:35Actually, I don't agree with this entirely.
It fundamentally would not have happened with eg Starmer or Polanski, or even Badenoch.
Yes, they may organise a visit to the club, and as is normal with such political press junkets there would be meet and greats with the community team, womens team, youth, etc etc, then there would be an (often clunky) policy announcement or pr moment that shoehorns in the community work or outreach of the club with some policy statement or ambition.
What Farage did, and now seemingly with the OK of Ashton, was demonstrably not that. It was cheap, it was using the club but not in any meaningful way other than leverage, and then doubling down with nasty jokey social media posts about being right wing and McKenna leaving. It was unprofessional from all involved.
I simply can't imagine any other party or politician doing that, so this "if it was Starmer" to me is moot. Starmer, Polanski, Badenoch etc - regardless of politics - would be professional, above board, and not abuse the hosts in the way Farage did, and often does.

Damn you Castro. You've sussed that my new thread wasn't from a place of good faith, but intended only to quench my thirst for attention. [Post edited 27 Mar 15:56]

whereas of course if you want to add to your chest the polanski shirt may be just the thing you're looking for. |  |

I don't want any party using Ipswich as a tool to create content regardless of who it may be. The fact a racist and homophobic party did so is something I'm probably even less happy about but the above stands.
The fact it has been shrouded in lies and misinformation is also unforgivable. [Post edited 27 Mar 17:23]

You say that, but nobody has addressed my point about Mark Ashton not routinely saying boo to geese. Until someone here provides evidence to the contrary, whether Mark should be considering his position should at best be 50/50. [Post edited 27 Mar 17:20]

No, that comment. |
that, as you well know, was a reference to polanski's claim that he can magically increase the size of women's breasts.
your turn. a horse goes into a bar and the barman says "why the long face?" so, why's that funny? | |

Exactly. and why would polanski do the same?
you're getting there. but generally humour works better when you do some of this work yourself. | |
