Classic Ashton, trying to create a story that isn't there. Tw*t.

Not the best article in the world but certainly not the worst. I think it's interesting to see the other side of the coin every now and then.

So Cortese convinced pochettino to play pressing football and he'd never done this before ?!! (Despite being heavily influenced by Bielsa) what a load of bollocks this article is

Can someone explain to me what Neil Ashton's problem is with Spurs? Why does he hate us so much?

Graham Roberts tweeted him directly last night to basically call him out for directly attacking the club.

The Fail Online has to find 'stories' to keep it's inflated self going. Don't understand why people even look at it

Benny says LOL

Show me and Argie that isnt passionate (or ''high maintenance'' if the writer wants to put some kind of shitty spin on it) .. I would be ok with Poch telling Levy how it is from time to time. The French are the same, infact most people are when it comes to something they believe in.

That Ashton is a tool. There was a similar article he did proclaiming we're no bigger than Villa or Sunderland. Pfft!

We're not just a club, but something much larger: we're a tradition; an ideal. We represent the stylish & entertaining way to play football. Even though we've had a rough time of it for a number of years, most notably from the mid-90s to the 2000s, we are still a massive club with big ambitions.

All good managers aren't going to be everyone's 'cup of tea, but then the greats like Guardiola, Van Gaal and Mourinho were everyone's favourite. They are hardline coaches who hell bent on winning, which is what we desperately need.

If looks are anything to go by, Ashton looks like an epic c**t. And if his anti Spurs splurge is another thing to go by, he's also an epic c**t. So in conclusion to this, clearly and without any doubt at all, Ashton is an epic c**t! Well according to my analysis anyway.

Ashton is bitter that his mate Tim got the boot. Remember how smug he was over the AVB sacking...

This piece is full of useless filler. Friends with Puyol, wowee, a caffeine habit.. yet misses crucial information like the checks that went on before signing Lovren and why he's now worth 21m, and also details about the training sessions which, to me, sound pretty fun! Good players will respond to well planned training.

The article made me laugh, sorry but it did. I particularly liked the assertion that Poch splits players into two distinct groups: those he likes and gives preferential treatment to, and those he don't. And the 'evidence' of this is:

"'He wanted to control everything,’ claimed former Espanyol midfielder Moises Hurtado. ‘The first season was fine. He’d been a player and he understood, but then things changed.
‘He seemed to see conspiracy where there was none, and some good people had to leave by the back door. He wanted everyone to dance to his tune, for people to be entirely committed to him. The atmosphere ended up not being so good. But in purely sporting terms there was no problem. He got great results and we played well.’"

I cant see anything about preferential treatment, just that he wants players committed to him. Oh well, goes in line with everything else written by Ashton so at least he is consistent. :)

If he invites Rose into his office to 'shoot the breeze' he will be as popular as Sherwood was.
