I’ve got a feeling based on nowt that he’ll turn us down, was reading how he regretted leaving Palace when manager, depends ultimately how ambitious he is as Palace will always be a selling club, but he might have a lot of power at Palace that he won’t get here which might impact job satisfaction.
I would understand that if he was somehow coerced into applying, but having willing gone through what would appear to be a fairly arduous process to receive an offer - it would be odd for him to turn it down late stage. Not likely to be leveraging it for greater control / remuneration at Palace. -

Guess it's to drum up interest/discussion prior to the exhibition match in Aus at end of the season.
Didn’t think he was allowed to play? Behind closed doors only? -

Changes at Benton are afoot
Surely the three sites in aggregate are large enough for a 21st century training facility? Wonder if the lack of movement on a new site is owing to this. -

Yea absolutely, for me though if we take an option which still requires extensive balloting at the end of it we’ve failed in what we should have been trying achieve.
If you are the club though - and we can argue the rights and wrongs of this as a fan base, they’ll be looking at price elasticity with respect of demand. And a lot of the survey seemed to be teasing that out ‘would you pay more for xx’. If there’s an additional 15k general ballot tickets can we sell those at the existing pricing? A lot depends on what’s happening on the pitch.But let’s wait and see, assume they’ll announce something close season as it gets towards planning.

“Expected to be a very modest transfer budget… United would effectively be operating a “sell-to-buy” policy if the club missed out on Europe entirely, so restricted are their finances after a £555 million spend over the previous three summers and the limits imposed by the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules”.
No wonder they are are lowballing the Ashworth fee.

Wow, that's a big shock. Unless they're bringing it in in addition to the 70/85% rule?
There has to be concurrency with UEFA as I’ve understood it. -

The timing aligned to the FFP year end is a work of genius.

There’s a story behind this that the world needs to hear.
Also, he can’t have had much kip!?
I suspect it’s not as interesting as it could be, as much as it would be hilarious for him to be trucking mad, I know his family are massively into equestrian and I wonder if it might be to transport their horses. -

Not great reading, we would be in breach if it applied now - not withstanding last years accounts are a poor point in time reference to judge our off the field progress.
-
One of the worst cameos I’ve ever seen, if - and I hope we do - we release him in the summer, he will struggle to get a contract above League One.

By the way that’s written I would guess it’s dubravka
Is that not fairly inconsequential though? My reading of it is that it would be advantageous for Everton - e.g. if they knew it was a CB pairing of Krath and Burn.Hopefully BS anyway.

Southampton “annoyed at manner and timing of [Man] United's approach” with the latter also deeming Southampton’s demands “unrealistic”. Sounds familiar.

Do them selling Branthwaite for £60m + this summer not just sort them out? With FFP anyway, I’m aware of the other issues.
It would help them for the current accounting period yes. But the structural issues persist - these accounts already are mitigated in part by the sale of Gordon.Incidentally, and I’ve posted on here previously about this, I work for a company which is often approached either directly by clubs or brand intermediaries with regards to front of shirt sponsorship / other opportunities. About six months ago we were asked as to our interest for headline naming rights for their new stadium - and they were asking for an absolute pittance (c. £6-8m). Reeked of desperation.

That’ll be Dummett signing a one year extension Monday.

An alleged 50 bets between August and October 2023.

Absolutely criminal from the medical team. Verging on professional negligence.

A suggestion that a £9m fee was close to being agreed was strongly rebutted by Manchester United this week. Sources at Old Trafford suggest Newcastle paid £3m to Brighton for Ashworth and any compensation will be closer to that. The Magpies, obviously, want more – especially if he is to start immediately.
Finer details – like whether Manchester United will be barred from buying Newcastle players for a set period of time – are also yet to be ironed out. “Nothing is imminent,” one source told i this week. At this rate anyone assuming they can bank compensation in time for the summer might be disappointed.
Far from encouraging from Mark Douglas this morning. Hope we hold firm. -

Ah fair, got a link?
Tuned out of the Athletic for a bit, they seem to have the same content on loop recently.
Struggling to find it - can’t recall which piece it was in. But it wasn’t the Ornstein Q&A, albeit that does further insinuate the power dynamic at play. -

Is she not known for stirring the shit?
Jack Ross is a new name, but the idea that Howe wants the DOF position to have less sway in first team recruitment was in the Athletic over the weekend too. -

Given that Howe does not want Ashworth’s successor to have too big a say in first team men’s recruitment and the club’s English based directors appear prepared to grant that wish, Jack Ross might prove a smart replacement.
Louise Taylor in the Guardian, not a quote that inspires confidence. -
Interesting, for what I believe is the first time ever the quotes this morning would suggest it’s not guaranteed and could be appearance based?

If they are “incredible characters [and] fundamental to how we work behind the scenes”, perhaps they could be offered a different role. Because neither of them should be anywhere near a Premier League pitch.
