Well it is a fact, but that fact has nothing to do with football and everything to do with unrelated issues, issues that our owner did not want in the public domain, hence the high risk Russian roulette approach tactic to remove him.
As for the last sentence 2 wrongs also don't make a right. The scatter gun approach was nonsense, replacing the 'heavy artillery' with loads of small inferior misfiring artillery was never going to work and the owner is 100% responsible for allowing that approach, football decisions should only be made by the manager and financial decisions made by the CEO FULL STOP, if the manager wants to leave recruitment to a DOF then that DOF should be a person of his choosing whom he fully trusts and not an ambitious man in a nice suit who was allowed to assume that roll and wield so much power within the club, power that also allowed him to put in place a dodgy backroom rehab staff.
It would also appear that his successor was also somebody that originally nobody wanted until a desperate club with (at the time) no money took that chance, football is a small world and there are no secrets and those non secrets are what kept both of them both out of work for quite a while, when both should have walked into new jobs.
Allowing Ashton to do consultancy work for his later to be new employees in their search for new owners was absolutely outrageous and just about sums up the amateurish way our club operates.
