Les Ashmore Worried...

As a lifelonmg supporter of CFC of 65 years and also having financially supported the club for over 40 years, I am extremely worried.
1. We have the debacle across the road.
2. We had Rafflegate, Which I understand we are soon to get an official press release.
3. If all the information is correct AC hired KF who started our demise.
4. AC has now hired a "New" commercial man Richard Herrick who has lost premier Clubs Millions, He has numerous bankruptcy's to his name just over the past few years, he is according to Business records in debt to the tune of 2.5 million. EEK
5. We are in a position that the academy could lose it's Cat 3 status which would mean a loss of close to £400,000 a year.
6. The "New" kit man is an ex employee of AC he has no experience whatsoever and yet he has given him more money than Steve who was a very experienced kit man, His excuse is quote "yes he has received a small increase in pay to what Steve was earning, but hey, this is not a 9 - 5 job and some weeks Steve works 70 hours, don't forget he also looks after the reserves and youth." so my question would be " Is he working more hours than Steve? If not Steve should have been paid more then".
Even in the Darren Brown era I was not this worried TBH, I fear for our club, Things do not seem right, Not by a Long Way.
He's not a happy camper thats for sure.

Point 4 is a particular concern. You really have to wonder what Carson and Allens thinking and motivations are, because what has gone on and what appears to be still going on makes absolutely no sense at all. After the financial losses and disaster that befell Sheffield Wednesday you might expect them to have learnt a thing or two. But no, they are making the same mistakes again, only the losses are less able to be dealt with by a smaller club.
Maybe if I a took ate a few dodgy mushrooms and stared at a few of those weird posters for a while it might make sense.

Sure he was guilty of misguided loyalty, as we've all been on occasion, however not only did he have the minerals to 'front-up' but he's now been big enough to accept being mistaken.
I respect him for that.
One other thing, too.
Les's relationship with the ex CEO means he could be a valuable ally in exposing stuff I'm told is still going on at the Club...

I'm not fed news from the inner circle anymore and now I'm upset and lashing out with the usual stuff people pointed out for months, some of it out of date, whilst I throw toys from the pram.
Cynical moi?

could the motive be that as an ally of CT, Les now wants to expose that most of what fans accused CT of doing was in fact nothing to do with him?
