I'd imagine tripling/quadrupling his salary could be quite persuasive

So? Ashworth just took the Man U job and he's available

His reaction was better....totally Homer.... "Thats it you've stood in my way long enough....I'm going to clown school"

Given what has been said about him talking to berrada, that is not beyond the realms of possibility...and incredibly would not be surprising in the slightest

Probably more likely fell out with Ratcliffe...guy sacked the captain of his yacht for going left rather than right round a rock in the Med, so the islanders couldn't see to wave at him

I think it is true that EH wanted Geuhi. I think it's also true that he knew we would never be able to sign him. I shudder to think what suspect moves we would have had to make to actually get him here given whatever we did that landed us with an 85m third/forth choice Greek keeper

No matter what it's not our problem. Massively amusing as it it. In my experience of senior directors 'mutually agreed' departures don't happen unless there's something to be hidden. Either Ashworth cottoned on to something hideous INEOS was planning and wanted out for integrity sake (lol), or he's done something that would embarrass even them. Going to guess he had a few more suspect emails they weren't aware of

Barely even Ludo let alone chess in any dimension...It's admirable in some ways that you think a manager and DoF would actually be honest about how much money is available to spend

Never had it in the first place...

Nope...accountants have made it indecipherable to see what is actually available. Best move we could do is hire Chelsea's financial guys at any cost, and give them the first job to hide what they cost us, then work out a deal to sell Newcastle race course to us, then pass it back to the Ruben's while working out how we keep the profits...then when they'd sussed that giving us a 6bn profit, find some obscure law that shows we own the Tyne Bridge and are allowed to charge a tenner for every kilo that passes over it. Then figure out how Leazes Terrace actually impinges on St James right to light and either charge them by the second, or order their brick by brick move to Beamish

Am I correct in thinking you now have to be a member to have a chance of getting a ticket?

Wasn't that exactly why he got so much plaudits? Dragging those players to CL and getting performances way above their level? Obviously they've aged, but things are definitely less than the sum of their parts now

Hardly..we just want some signs of a consistent (good) turnaround and there's little evidence this season but it was excused last season due to injuries. If we take Newcastle blinkers off, few outside can understand why he hasn't already been sacked and why we weren't vocally calling for his sack at the end of last season

It's a case of when rather than if for EH unfortunately.

Wouldn't be worried about Barca either. They don't have the appeal they used to and by most reports they're totally broke. Not that that's ever stopped them

Only for the red team

Nunez does that and it's a 6 minute enquiry

Where's var?

Open goal Murphy ffs. What do these guys actually do in training all week? It certainly isn't passing to players in the same colours.

Ooh free kick debate as to who will sling out of play or to the goalkeeper

Why are we incapable of stringing more than 3 passes together when going forward?

Well that commentator sounds like he's about to cry

Doesn't want to piss his new bosses off...then does that
