To be fair its not just Ash that Nigel Pearson treats that way. ;)

Ash alsio said that he was forced out of Hull and did not put in a transfer request and also that Phil Brown forced Ashe to play for Preston against City @ the KC when Ash said that he did not want to play. Says it all really.

Yeah - proves that PB rules the dressing room and picks his best team.
 
Ash ran straight of the pitch as soon as the whistle blew, I remember it well. Must of been emotional for him, I ****ing love Ash.


Yeah I remember how our knobhead fans were calling him, and how afterwards many rubbished him on the forums for not having a 'sense of humour'.....
 
He's always in the Pemier Lounge.

Nice chap - had a similar op on his knees to my brother's shoulder (lots of little laser holes drilled to make it bleed) and spent ages talking through it with my folks.

I just wonder how much that **** Bullard messed his last months up - he lead Ash astray and but for him I think he may well have stayed at the club and done a Dawson. I heard also that he got a bit Billy Big shoes with some of the kids (again, around the time Bullard was his constant side kick). All from very good sources, but you never know the truth.

It was a sad end to a bloke who could have ended up a statue outside the entrance and an unbroken legacy at the club. Just wonder how much it was 6 of one and half a dozen of the other at the end. I think NP saw him as a bad influence (? again, JB lead?).

I'm pretty sure that he'd have been with the club another year but for the cockney bugger's antics.
 
If Ash doesn't get a statue its a ****ing disgrace. I don't care what anyone says, he deserves it over anyone.
 
Of course he does - just a shame for everyone he didn't see it out and close the loop perfectly.

I have never heard the true story of how it ended - but a lot said he was the only person to blame. Bad timing? Bad influences?

Bad management.

It astounds me that people still give NP a free ride, he'd have probably given Dawson the boot this January, just because he's that kind of narcissistic arsehole.

It still sticks in my throat a bit that we as fans never did more, other than a half arsed Ian Ashbee chant there was nothing. A 4th minute applause would have been brilliant, but instead we just carried on like nothing had happened.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Pearson raped us.

Utter rubbish.

But you are entitled to be deluded. Ash was getting to be an unpleasant distraction, and the manager wasn't going to be made to look weak with a team of impressionable youngsters. I know for a fact how it was being played out with many of the kids seeing some players as bad role models.

You can't blame NP - just a mess that was a result of a lot of things, no one came out of any of them well!
