"We anticipate a lot of high calibre applicants but we also fully expect and hope David will be a candidate in this process.”
It sounds like he's already here.

Not sure Paul Winstanley - head of recruitment is going with him, is he ?

Not seen such Bravery!
I hope he enjoys his Sportswashing.
And I hope Potter has more integrity when Ashworth "headhunts" him for Newcastle.

The internet is full of people who speculate. It is a sometimes dangerous and immature thing to do. I wouldn't speculate about where he is going.
It's Newcastle.

F**k him. Hope he enjoys his dirty money. Good luck to David Weir who I am sure has been building up to this role during his time here. We have a fairly well established development and transfer policy now and I hope Weir can provide the continuity we need.
Sadly money > integrity vast majority of the time. As Ashworth has proved.

Never liked him anyway 
Given that they will continue to work for Bloom, I expect their approach to finding a striker will be consistent with our prior approach: Find someone with good potential for a reasonable fee (i.e. Undav). We're not going to start spaffing millions up the wall on a £40m+ striker now Ashworth is off

Being reported it is Newcastle.
Hope this proves to be a lucrative mistake for Dan with relegation and financial fair play enforced. What a sell out, thought he had integrity and class but clearly not.

Great DOF, but also a greasy pole climber willing to sell his soul for a stack of blood money.
DA moral compass release clause has been paid.

I wish him all the happiness in the world and feel no anger about this at all. On the other hand since he will be at a rival club I hope he is an abject failure in all that he does until he moves on to a different country or to a club with less money than Mr Bloom has.

Clearly none.
I would be verysurprised if the successful candidate isn't David Weir. Groomed by the club for a while, promoted to assistant TD and, more pertinently, turned down Everton for a similar role recently... Personally, I hope he gets the role but whatever happens, the club is clearly smart enough to have significant levels of succession planning in place for all key people at the club.

1 - I imagine the club have invested in a computer with Excel so the names are probably on there and not on a bit of paper in Dan's pocket.
2 - The players we target may not suit the positions/profile of player that Newcastle are targeting. If Newcastle survive, next summer will be BIG signings.
3 - On the example of Ensico, I don't believe an untried 18 year old will be the player Newcastle will be targetting for immediate impact. We HAVE to shop in the market of "Will the player have a strong re-sale value/potential" to sustain our model. Newcastle do not need to care about that.

While he is still employed he should be made to watch the Dissident on Amazon in the presence of all his colleagues as a send off.
