Alex 30764 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 If we were still in the bottom 3 and looking odds on to go down I think this would be less of an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4263 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Curious to see how thats a blow rather than no change and it's only March. From what the Athletic and Pod on the tyne have said about Ashworths intended role here, transfers aren't necessarily his purview anyway, he'd be more of an overall sporting director making everything at the club work to pull in the same direction rather than just who we buy. Based on what we did in January I've no qualms about that same group of people managing our summer transfers anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12896 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Aye, the thing I’m most impatient about with regards to Ashworth is him coming in and stopping Steve Harper giving all the Academy jobs to his mates Edited March 29, 2022 by Ayatollah Hermione Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 8941 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I am more than happy to be calm to get the people they want than just throw money at clubs. At the moment it‘s foremost Brighton‘s loss who won’t get any compensation if they persist in Ashworth seeing out his contract. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team brought in the players we needed and they’ll have more time/an easier job convincing players (no immediate relegation fear). Not really sure why Brighton wouldn’t agree to a compensation package short of being bitter bastards. Maybe upset we absolutely rinsed them for Burn. Or we could have been giving them a hard line with a low compo amount, which I’d honestly be happy with as they’ll know we have him soon so it’s more of that long term thinking.

The Fish 9230 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 It can only be greed or pettiness/spite, it's not like he can be doing anything for them. Him joining us doesn't impact their own DoF recruitment. He can still stay abreast of the latest ways of working, the latest trends and ideas in his field. He can still receive reports on players, scouts, coaches, without breaching his gardening leave as long as he doesn't overtly act on them to Newcastle's benefit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s on gardening leave so if they get a DoF in during that period they’ll be paying two of them whilst missing out on compensation for Ashworth at the same time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
