Relationship between Ashley and the players

[HughieG]

Do you ever sit around and wish some of our players would subtly have a go at Ashley?

I know that through contractual obligations (he pays their wages etc.) they probably cannot go out and say a lot of stuff, but it would be entertaining if nothing else if say Lascelles or Shelvey or Ritchie came out and gave him a hard time.

Maybe that's what the players have been practising with all these "training ground bust-ups"?

I suppose no player in the peak years of a career wants a reputation where they are willing to have a go at ownership though. Could affect that big money move in the future.

Itd be funny to see but think that sort of stuff should be left to us and Rafa. They just need to think about tryna win a game.
