This is a no lose for all involved. If Ashworth is as good as we're told, the systems and processes will be in place so we'll transition seamlessly, and we'll get a bag of cash. If we isn't as good as we're told, we're well rid, and we'll get a bag of cash. Man Utd can bring in someone to sort out their mess for about 20% of what they paid for the car crash that is Antony, it's nothing to them. If it doesn't work (I think it will), they'll move on and they won't think of the fee they paid for Ashworth ever again. Ashworth has the opportunity to turn around the biggest club un the country ( if not the world), what an opportunity. If he does, he's made for life reputation wise, if he doesn't, it'll be the Glazers fault. It's a business, it happens, on we go.

Scratch this, he’s at Leeds now.

Who was the fella who took it on short term in an advisory role in that first January? we may see him back whilst we get a replacement. I have no clue who we’ll get, but I back them to get it right.

Edwards reckons we’re taking a hostile stance. good.

We’ve placed him on gardening leave today.

Yeah, Weir started at Brighton straight away I’m sure (internal appointment but the principal is the same).

Asked to leave today according to Hope.

Don't bite man 😂

I’m not sure I’ve seen a Centre forward trouble botman as much as solanke did today. Probably right on the fee though.

I thought solanke and Kelly looked good for Bournemouth today. I’d take both.

If Dan Ashworth is as good as we're told, we won't miss Dan Ashworth as everything should be implemented and working, along with a succession plan. The end.

No, thats been suggested in some things i've read for sure.

Quick scan of a Brighton forum and they seem to think he’s brilliant at the set up phase and then he moves on because that’s the part he enjoys. A few think he’s over rated but guess that’s normal after he left them (we’ll be the same). ’A rolling stone gathers no moss’.

yeah, like this isn't the threat every time this situation happens.

Man Utd will be back amongst title chases quickly imo, quicker than us anyway. He’s not leaving us for Crystal Palace, he’s going to the biggest club in the country and one of the biggest in the world. As I say, don’t worry about it. We’ll get someone else, it’s nowt personal, they’re just bigger.

Also, on Ashworth generally. Maybe he is the ‘best in class’ but so far he was at West Brom who won nowt, England who won nowt, Brighton who won nowt and NUFC, who won nowt! We’ll be fine.

Man Utd are a bigger club than us, it’s a bigger job and a bigger opportunity. That’s a mixture of ffp holding us back and also the fact they’re just bigger and under new (part) ownership are a better bet for the big trophies in the near future. Don’t take it personally, it’s just how it is and probably always will be. Doesn’t mean we’re not going in the right direction as a club, we are!

Bored of it already. stay or go, either is fine, but stop the rumours either way asap is my take. if he goes we’ll just get someone else, couldn’t give a shit tbh. Brighton haven’t died, neither will we.

This. Bored of it already though.

I suspect we didn’t sign palmer because he’s so one footed. Time will tell what we do with Barnes and how that pans out but him and Gordon can use both feet, palmer isnt and we didn’t need another Miggy situation.

is £30m for Elanga and Henderson a premium? is £20m for Garner & Pereira? Dan James i'll give you, but he's an outlier in recent years. They're certainly not 'premium sellers' recently. Premium buyers, definitley.

Maybe Dan James in the last few years. other than that, I cannot think of one.

elanga went for £15m didn't he? Garner around £10m, pereira around £10m, Henderson £15m ish. No premiums there imo.

Did a bit of bullying of his own for the fourth goal as well.
