A cause for Optimism!

In my day to day life I translate one language into another, hopefully so the reader can understand it in their own language. After years of trying, I believe I have learned to translate Basic Ashley.

Example one:

‘We will have all our signings done by the world cup’.

Actually translates to, season ticket money is due chaps, cough up there’s a good boy.

Example two:
‘The club has to run within it’s own financial limits.’

Well you see the thing is I am quite happy paying nothing for advertising, so juts carry on.

Example three:

‘Player X wants more wages than I am willing to pay’.

What do you mean your not willing to take a zero hour contract and minimum wage?

Example four:

‘The club is not for sale.’

No one is stupid enough to pay me what I will lose in advertising.

I could go on, and often do.

But for anyone interested I shall be running a summer school, and with some application on your part, I am optimistic that you will be speaking fluent Ashley by the time next season begins.
