Whatever people thought of him as our manager it's a measure of his "I'll do what I want" ego that he has (allegedley) illegally tapped up our club captain and threatened to destabalise a team finding its form and looking to make a promotion push.
I can understand why he would want Ashbee as a leader for the same reasons that we do/did but the sequence of events have a hint of malice. Brown has a meal with Ashbee after Bullards loan, Ashbee informs Pearson he has had a contract offer and walks out of training the day before a massive game, Ashbee comes back with a written transfer request in the afternoon.
There may be more than I know but Brown is out of order and means we will miss possibly our most influential player for the QPR game (and I think it showed first half) and even more in the Leeds game with no time to find a replacement.
He knows he shoukd have made a formal approach to us first and judging by the statements in this weeks paper about Ashbee, the first anyone knew about it was on Friday morning.
I hope the club does not accept the transfer request and tell Ashbee and Brown to get ****ed and that they report Brown and Preston for an illegal approach as he obviously doesnt think rules apply to him as usual. Whether peope rate Ash or not he was obviously part of the plans until at least the end of the season and the timing smacks of bitterness.
I really wanted to just remember the good times from Browns era and wish him all the best but this kind of behaviour just reminds me of some of the childish, spolit, vindictive behaviour that alienated a lot of players and the super ego that thought he was special and rules didnt apply to him.
I feel sorry for Asbee who belives his bullshit and is on the verge of tarnishing a legacy that would have him set up fo life here for the sake of Browns playground games.
