I just find it slightly weird the negative obsession with MA. Reminds me of the droves of bitter Barnsley fans who wanted nothing more than our downfall because of LJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 11 hours ago, Davefevs said: Their forum lays all the blame at Paul Cook. Although one or two are starting ask Qs about which ones were Cook signings and which ones were Ashton’s, especially the ones that don’t fit Cook’s de facto 4231. There’s a decent gap to the playoffs, and some relative big hitters above them. This is gonna be a weird Lg1 this season where there could be serious repercussions for a few teams that don’t go up. Only 3 can! We know what we think happened in BS3 but as you say, Ipswich fans in the main love Ashton & see anyone from the West Country pointing this out as simply bitter & they are blaming Cook. I do think we have to all move on now, many of us believe he screwed us over & left Pearson (& to be fair Holden before him) a pretty shit deal. However the exodus of staff to Suffolk has presumably ceased & we need to rebuild. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quote below is from an interview with him in September, saying he hopes that by January he will have put in place a larger recruitment department. “I can see, by Christmas, us having four or five people in that recruitment department who are both data driven and scouting driven. “They have to be of a certain type who understands what I want and what Paul wants and who can work with us to prepare plans for the future.” Note he specifically says “what I want”.

Kid in the Riot Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 It will actually be interesting to see who Ashton goes for as he certainly didn't appoint Johnson, Holden or Pearson whilst he was here. All SL choices. Appleton is presumably high on the list. I wonder if they may try and get John Terry in, which I personally think could be a very good appointment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
