[mauledbythetigers]

Just been confirmed on ssn been given an 18 month contract at preston.

 

[Boothferry2Wembley]

Closure on the speculation. Now for the inquest.

 

[robingram02]

did it mention a fee?

 

[SpringBankWestTiger]

Its a shame in a way but best for the club me thinks.

 

[Tigers 1 Lions 0]

Shame it had to end this way for Ash.... good luck at PNE. Hopefully means we have a replacement sorted!

 

[4tiger]

Thanks Ash for everything you've done, good luck

If there's a world record for best reception ever recieved by an opposing manager and captain at a football match, I think it will be smashed when we face Preston!

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Cheers Ash all the best

 

[blackandamber]

hope he keeps them up.

Do you not think this has tarnished both reputations?

 

[mauledbythetigers]

She said it was a free transfer which i find a little srtange

 

[Amin Arrears]

It has definitely tarnished both reputations, he'll still get a good reception though.

 

[PLT]

Do you not think this has tarnished both reputations?

I hope not, Ash is a club legend and that's that. Phil Brown was frustrating at times but so is NP. He still achieved the impossible with us and they both deserve a good reception. I know I'll be welcoming them.

Captained us through 4 promotions, split the crowd 50/50 but in my eyes he is the BEST captain and leader we have ever had, and although I feel this is the right decision to let him go, he will go with my thanks for starting the dream with that screamer at Yeovil. Thanks Ash. City Legend

 

[NewarkTiger]

I just think it's a shame that it had to end in acrimoniuos circumstances and walking out of training on Thursday after finding out his best mate Bollard had gone is a little sad

 

[Tigers 1 Lions 0]

She said it was a free transfer which i find a little strange

Yep this is a frustrating & disruptive bit of business for us..... lost a solid player but more importantly a big leader on the pitch.... no fee & we have to payout for a new player on the last day of the window where options might not be good & deals don't come cheap on the final window day!

 

[Beverley_Tiger_998]

he hasn't even gone yet they said they understand they are close to a deal.

 

[ImperialTiger]

A free?!?

He may as well have mentioned family-related issues in France!

 

[blackandamber]

ridiculous if its a free, 6 months i know but thats stupid

It is, and again, it raises serious questions about the management set up.

Disappointing that Ash has gone, a true City legend and we're letting him go out like this. Pathetic.
