Starting to think an exchange like this went down...
Ashley: Getting a little annoyed with Pards coming up with excuse after excuse in the press and blaming a lack of squad depth.
DL: Yeah, he's getting on me tits.
Ashley: So here's the plan, let's give him purples out his arse, young talent, and proper depth. Tell Graham to squeeze in every Frenchman he possibly can with 20m. Sink or swim time Alan.
