How much input does Ashley actually have?

The press are letting it be known he was the anonymous source in the express yesterday. What sort of twat makes a rash decision to put a player on a free and then shits himself 2days later about it. Chairmen are meant to be intelligent, business savvy people. This bloke is the laughing stock of the football world!

Dekka: aggressive, confrontational, without any semblance of honour/whose 'word' means absolutely fuck-all/a con-artist, vindictive, and you can throw 'elusive' into the mix as well. This pretty much encapsulates how Ashley has run his retail enterprise. Ashley and Dekka are two peas out of the same pod, and Ashley has a kindred spirit (at least as a corporate razor cutter type, with the gutter level of ethics to match) of sorts doing his bidding.

 

To suggest that Dekka is the real problem, as inferred in the OP, is laughable. []b Mort was going on about how 'Mr Ashley's priority was to purchase players with resale value' during the opening weeks following the takeover. The blueprint for us being a seller club was layed out early. [/b] Mort was more PR friendly. In addition to this, in the wake of Allardyce's departure/sacking, in one of Ashley's rare offerings to the press, he declared that he would be more hands-on in relation to the club's day-to-day running.

 

Suggesting that Dekka is the real problem hereby creating a convenient scapegoat, is a load of crap.

 

indeed. And the shelling out of a pint for everybody who happened to be in Tiger Tiger one night, raised and confirmed the popularity of the owner into legendary status among the clueless morons.

I asked a question, genius. I wasn't creating a scapegoat, I merely suggested a hypothetical scenario. I don't know exactly how much input the two of them share, but I do wonder how many of the many debacles we've seen would have gone as far as they did if Llambias was competent. With a better man in the job, would we be better off or does Ashley have so much input that it wouldn't matter?

 

I even said in the OP you find so laughable that it's Ashley's fault regardless.

This. I think the difference between them is that Mort wanted to get out before his reputation was tarnished, whereas Dekka is happy to be propaganda officer in chief for as long as Ashley pays him.

I liked Mort, you can tell he took the supporters opinion on board, it wouldn't totally sway him, but he saw that it mattered... but Llambias is a cunt who when Ashley says "Jump" answers "How high?".

Mort told supporters Ashley had cleared the club’s debts but failed to mention he’d replaced them with new debts. He didn't give a shit about the supporters. That said he probably would have been able to handle internal matters with more tact than Dekka. Lesser of two evils.

Slippery crafty London lawyer vs sleazy lying casino manager. Both doing the bidding of crass clueless fat businessman. Mort had more about him than llambias imo but both are basically hired help.
