[Albion] Dan Ashworth joins Newcastle

[dazzer6666]

This seems like the likely outcome.

Manure are in direct competition with Newcastle (and us) in terms of the race for European places. Part of their thinking must be to sabotage the Geordie’s set-up. Screwing their summer recruitment process is a good move (for them and probably us).

Ashworth doesn't do a lot with direct recruitment

 

[Brovion]

Ok, so who is going to to start the 'David Weir to Newcastle' thread? Half-expected to see one when I logged on today.

of players, at least...

Yep......his plan to grab Macaulay might get scuppered by this (hopefully).

 

[Wozza]

Confirmed. It's all happening!

 

[Seagull58]

Confirmed. It's all happening!

12 months gardening leave, no less, unless Manure stump up big bucks.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Confirmed. It's all happening!

Well with two lots of extended gardening leave, one after he he left us, and now a few years later while he is leaving Newcastle, he could end up qualified to be the next Capability Brown.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Indeed. Smug Eddie has stated :

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe called for a swift resolution to the situation at his press conference on Friday, and agreed that it was a concern that Ashworth, privy to sensitive recruitment information, was being approached by a Premier League rival.

Twat!

I read that Eddies brother is also employed in scouting up there and was at loggerheads with Ashworth and excluded him from the “inner circle” meetings

Lewis Hall apparently was an Ashworth tainted appointment and not one for the Howe family, clearly!

Ratcliffe wanted him at Nice, he's said he wants to return to the days of having a British Manager and British core of players.

Footballing Brexit

Jim Ratcliffe on the pursuit of Dan Ashworth​

"I think Dan Ashworth is a 10/10 sporting director - one of the best around. He would be very good for Manchester United. It is understandable that somebody like Dan would see the Manchester United job as a very interesting challenge at this stage of his career.

"Ultimately, you can't really criticise Dan for looking at maybe the most coveted job in football as a sporting director - particularly with the challenge at Manchester United. What doesn't make sense is for Dan Ashworth to be sat doing nothing for 18 months."

Sorry Jim, but I think it makes perfect sense.

Oh, and PS, pay some bloody tax.

Might as well another 20 years or so until he’s homogenised the structures at every PL club

It’s a long way for a gardener to go for a pile of shit!

 

[Mancgull]

The level of arrogance from Ratcliffe is astonishing. F@ck him and Man United.

 

[Seagull58]

12 months gardening leave, no less, unless Manure stump up big bucks.

In fact, it seems it's 24 months gardening leave unless Ratcliffe pays the £20 million that Newcastle are asking. Marvelous scenes.

And as a UK tax payer myself I don't want to fund the next Manchester United football ground. Speak to those billionaires, the Glazer family about funding it.

Jim Ratcliffe the saviour and advocate of the north..........who tried to buy Chelsea from west London a year before. I hope it fails badly.

 

[lawros left foot]

Would Sir Jim( Billionaire, tax avoider of this Parish that is, if your Parish is Monaco) be quite as keen on a National Stadium in the North, funded by British taxpayers, if that stadium was in Liverpool and given free to LFC?

To be honest I can’t see anyone stopping him working for Manure whilst he’s on gardening leave. The irony is that Newcastle will be paying his wages.

 

[Mancgull]

Why don’t England just use the new Everton ground as the north of England Wembley. The thought of tax payers subsidising the new Man Utd ground is enough to make the blood boil.

Theres already a national stadium in the north, Wembley. How many do they need?
