God knows what Ashley is doing, but clearly any lack of investment is going to make it a very long end to the season. Have said it before, but I think he gets off on fucking us over, even if it costs him millions. He will always claw it back via the TV money.
National media should all be asking where the money is going - but they won't. BBC won't want to upset him and of course, the fat fucker is in bed with Murdoch. Desperate.
