It appears that Ash isn't going anywhere.

http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/sport/HULL-CITY-Ashbee-leaving-City/article-3151887-detail/article.html

With his current City deal set to expire in June, uncertainty surrounding Ashbee's long-term future has prompted talk of a possible swoop by Brown this month.

Those links carry little credence, however, and the long-serving captain fully intends to see out the remainder of the season with the Tigers.

Seeking clarity over his City future, it is understood Ashbee has spoken at length with head of football operations Adam Pearson this week.

The 34-year-old was assured that his contract situation would be discussed in due course and with little desire to move away from East Yorkshire – his home for the past nine years – Ashbee remains hungry to be part of Nigel Pearson's plans.

close to tying up the deal according to sky sports bloody Hell.

I am the first to admit I have been saying we need to replace Ashbee for about 8 years now and now the time seems here I dont want him to go.

His play is the same as ever but All I can think of is his contract hes on £20k a week isnt he? and his association with Bullard may have caused this.

Barmby for Captain?
 
I was shocked at Ashbee's wages actually! So it would be another load off the wage bill. Barmby would easily be captain if he played regularly wouldn't he. More likely end up being Dawson? A lot of younger players who i don't think could take it on.
 
I think there is more than a grain of truth in the rumour that Ashbee & Bullard are being shipped out due to of the field matters.

If he goes, I wish him all the best. He has given as much as anyone for the cause in his time and scored some memorable goals in crucial games.

We move on though.
 
Unfortuantely this club is now being run by a clique that includes the two Pearson's and Barmby. I get more and more disenchanted with this club every day.
 
I would be absolutely gutted if Ashbee goes. What a servant for the club he has been. I remember AP saying how Ash almost single handedly kepth the players and team going when Molby was sacked as the dressing room was in dissaray. I think it would be a follish move both for sentimental reasons but more importantly performance reasons. Even if Ash is having a terrible game you can guarantee whilst he is on the pitch the other 10 around him won't be. True leader, and we get way more points with him than without him.

What'd be the point in blocking people you disagreed with on a discussion forum?

"Our new dawn"? Give me a break, how it can be a new dawn when we've still got relics from the past such as Adam Pearson around? Whilst him, Nigel and Barmby are here this club can only go backwards.
 
What off the field matters? I don't live in Hull any more and don't hear the rumours. Seem a strange couple Ash & Bullard. What do they have in common in terms of vices?

I will debate and disagree with anyone but when you are on here wumming and playing devils advocate to everypoint it gets very boring very quickly.

your new dawn comment just proves my point.
 
TWF - how can you talk about "relics" like Pearson and Barmby whilst saying the octogenarian Ash should be retained?

Fair point, I was mainly talking about the management set up.

Pearson seems to be very bitter and twisted since he came back and there's no doubt in my mind that Barmby has influence, I can see him being really disruptive in the dressing room. Think of him as a really enthusiastic bloke who's friends with the boss at work, nobody likes that type.
 
Would like Ash to finish this season off for us being the anchor in midfield we need. Unfortunately next year Pearson will put his own stamp on new players (already started with Evans) & I don't think we will offer a large salary over £6k a week for being a back up player in the club. So Ash may understand this and look for chances now.
I can see him wanting to link up with Brown, but I'm surprised Preston have the dosh to attract him. Then again he would be great for them & in their desperate situation may pay the money ash wants.
Would leave us short on numbers again though!
