That whole piece was padded with verbal bubble wrap. Lots of defending himself before he even says anything, lots of box ticking so people lay off him.
The lorry driver is the victim here, though. Bet he gets haunted by it.
In this case, I dont really see a problem because they're all miles from the first team. Although yes, it is worrying to think what else Ashley could do one day.
I'm surprised Ashley hasn't tried giving contracts of 10k a week, with 50k appearances bonuses - something that's heavily weighted towards playing. Not that any self-respecting player would take that.
So we'll have 5 defenders until the summer? Possibly Raylor too. That's absolutely shocking.
I like Santon but open to selling him. But for such a small fee, when our squad is tiny, is incredibly dumb.
