[Football] Dan Ashworth **Sacked by Man U 08/12/24**

[Baldseagull]

I bet Dan Ashworth has his main cutlery, knives AND forks on the left, side knives and forks in the middle, soup spoons on the right. Desert spoons across the bottom, the sugar bowl has its own silver spoon, and teaspoons are kept with the bone China tea cups.

You are sowing seeds of discontent.

I tried them on my allotment.
No success.

[Mancgull]

This would be an unbelievably stupid error on the part of DA, if true, of course.

 

[Triggaaar]

Its just a more coordinated plate-to-gob experience. If I tried eating dinner with the fork in my left hand, I'd definitely end up dropping half of it all down meself.

So you're trusting your left hand with a knife?

Not really. I doubt either team will do anything. Waste of time.

Why is it a waste of time? It is not a trivial matter to disclose confidential information.

 

[Triggaaar]

Wankers

 

[Mancgull]

Not really. I doubt either team will do anything. Waste of time.

Dan Ashworth was looking to take Newcastle to arbitration to settle the matter. If Newcastle have evidence of wrongdoing then it must be in their favour.

 

[Easy 10]

So you're trusting your left hand with a knife?

I've trusted it with all kinds of things, on occasion.

 

[Change at Barnham]

This is a cracking article which explains how Ashworth replied to Berrada (incoming Man Utd Chief Exec) about agreeing to join Man Utd three months before telling Newcastle and whilst still employed by Newcastle.
And when doing this Berrada was still employed by Man City.

And the best bit of all, Ashworth c.c.'d his email to his Newcastle United email address which they have now recently seen.

I thought that is something that only idiots like me might do.

Daily Telegraph article (behind paywall)

Manchester United are at risk of a tapping-up investigation after Newcastle United discovered emails suggesting Omar Berrada secretly wooed Dan Ashworth in early February.

Incoming chief executive Berrada was still serving his period of gardening leave at Manchester City when Ashworth copied a message intended for him to his own account at Newcastle.

The email, discovered in recent weeks by Newcastle, was sent weeks before Ashworth told executives at the north-east club that he wanted to stand down as director of football to join Manchester United.

Can’t stand Newcastle but I really hope they keep Ashworth on gardening leave for the duration to make a point, they can afford it.

I really want this Radcliffe/Brailsford project to fail spectacularly. Vile individuals.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Ashworth really is a snake isn't he

 

[TomandJerry]

Unbelievable if true, no doubt he'll be dragged through the courts if he has broken any confidentiality agreements

 

[zefarelly]

Ashworth really is a snake isn't he

more of a slow worm coated in ptfe. Or an Odious snivelling shithead.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

I assume the 'no dickheads' rule only applies to players?

Can't see it. All football people do this he just got caught.

Agree. Newcastle have become an absolutely horrible club with Smug Eddie, Anthony Gordon, and the awful, awful Saudi sports-washing project, but I hope they take Berrardi, Ashworth and United to the cleaners after this.

Let's be honest, we ALL know that tapping up happens, it's just not called "tapping up" and people aren't usually stupid enough to store email evidence about it.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I've trusted it with all kinds of things, on occasion.

Best to sit on it for a bit, first.

So I'm told.

 

[zefarelly]

I think it covers all, at least for TB's BHA.
