Quoted from Theimperialcoroner
Ashcroft was pretty decent but a measure of his unpredictability was that Buckley refers to him as " The Loon"


Too much time in the bookies that one if memory serves me right, "allegedly"! No doubt had some real talent though.

Didn't he get into trouble after entering management? Seem to recall that he received a lengthy ban after headbutting a referee!

As well as his disgraceful sexism ,and don't forget the night at orient where he lept into the away end to have a scrap with a lad who'd been giving him abuse .btw the lad weren't far wrong either.ashcroft was a lazy useless waste of money

Not much of a professional, he wasn't interested was he. Always looked overweight which said it all. Couldn't head the ball, rarely won the ball and if it wasn't for scoring so many penalties, his scoring record would have been abysmal wouldn't it? Reminded me of a crap Robbie Fowler, which is the only compliment I can give him. Had the ability which made it even worse. To top it off, he cost almost the same as Mendonca.
Hence why we got rid


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

Rotherham have only offered 350k and he will go for under 1 mill.  Probably about 750k in the end. That's realism

Why did we pay 500k more like?! We wanted better than we had and that was the price we had to pay.
Their manager must have thought he could sort him out. If he put some effort, lost the weight, got fit, he would have been a very good Championship player. Probably wouldn't have signed for us though. He dropped down a league as well didn't he
I remember him being good in front of goal? Never missed a penalty either?

Always remember, Omar (or anyone) is only one serious injury from being worth eff all. I'd take £1m, plus decent sell on this month and move on

I'm assuming Lee Ashcroft poked nightrider's misses because the guy was not as bad as he is making out. He scored goals and we sold him for basically what we got him for. The guy was class in div 2, just not so good in div 1.
