[Albion] Dan Ashworth joins Newcastle

[trueblue]

Dan Ashworth is an integral part of our project. We hired him because of his connections with so many academies allowing us to identify great targets for our academy and to set up much needed loans for our prospects to develop and gain match experience. He has never been involved in signing a world class players or negotiating with superstars. He may be a fabulous fit for us but Newcastle's needs are so different to his CV

Absolutely this. If there’s truth in the rumour then I’d be concerned if I was a Newcastle fan. For all their untold riches, it would suggest the club’s priority would be unearthing bargains. You don’t need Dan Ashworth to identify players that sell for £100m.

If some Saudi bloke appeared at your doorstep tomorrow saying, "we'll give Wilson to Brighton if you allow us to behead ten random Saudis..."... admit you'd think long and hard about it!

Nice one Swanny!

And i thought swedes had no sense of humour!

Only if Dan likes a little fishy on a little dishy !

Yep, keeping our love for the Albion out of the equation, would many of us act any differently?

As you are asking the question to us.
If I was earning a very good salary in the South of England where I have lived all of my life, I wouldn’t relocate to the far North of England to work for Saudis, no matter how much they were paying me.

Yep. I'd turn it down.

Under no circumstances or for any money would I work for that regime.

I thought you plumbers raked in the cash just behind the top trade obviously

Brighton have given Newcastle permission to speak with Dan Ashworth over director of football role. #BHAFC want 50yo to stay but won’t block talks. Ashworth on rolling contract so #NUFC would need to agree settlement if situation develops [MENTION=37204]the[/MENTION]AthleticUK

He clearly wants to go. Can't blame him. Unlimited potential at castle. Brighton on the other hand are broke !!

Change wouldn't be a bad thing for us.

I wonder if they will come for Barber next

Ashworth to newcastle

Eddie Howe dynamic would be interesting. He also wanted to appoint his own director of football at Celtic which is why he didn’t get the job. That’ll be the key thing I reckon

Although going before January makes me think we could be in for a disappointing window

Newcastle have rapidly turned into the most dislikeable club in the world, If Ashworth does go, does this mean, Smug Eddie will be poaching some of our promising stars. I can only hope Ashworth is a massive fan of Locardia and Connolly.

Be very afraid Smug Eddie.

Wasn’t pretty well the first thing to come out of Ashworth’s mouth when he arrived at the Albion words to the effect of “It’s my job is to keep the manager in a job”?

Edit - just checked and yep it was

That’ll be Bissouma to Newcastle then with his contract expiring next season

 

[lawros left foot]

There must be a “Newcastle’s Saudi owners head hunt Ashworth “ joke in there somewhere.

You utter git, you have just spoilt my Christmas now.....

I wouldn’t have thought that Dan Ashworth was the type of person to put his head on the block.

 

[Seasider78]

If we have given permission he wants to talk and in doing that he obviously has no concerns about the ownership. He is gone isn’t he.

Well, we will see.

He might regard the job as a cut above.
