Anyone got the Athletic link? - useful to see whether they have any more snippets or whether it’s microwave reheat.

Mail, Telegraph and Times reporting it. Funnily enough the red tops, who have the most cosy relationships with Man Utd, aren’t going there.

Bet they wish it was a 12 hour flight, closer to 20.

Images no one wants to see

It’s Ashworth’s mistake that exposed all this so naturally the focus will be on him. Not a great look stitching your boss up before either of you “officially” on the payroll, dicey Ineos email accounts aside.

You mean none of the usual Man Utd client journalists @Froggylad. Probably trying to bury it as it’s a pie on face moment for stumpy Dan.

I’ll be pissed if we’ve dropped the ball on a procedural issue. If the case I hope we get him on gross misconduct, sharing confidential information with a competitor. Seek damages, City do the same with Berrada. This all goes away if Man Utd settle.

Fucks sake. Not even worth referencing if it’s come from that melt.

Also the Berrada thing is bad vibes. Fancy being on gardening leave and having an email address for the company owned by the minority owner of your future employer who is the person in charge of footballing ops. Ratcliffe will give it the “this happens all the time in business shit” but football isn’t like other businesses, certainly not a chemicals company. It’s just pure boneheaded and if I’m City I’m seeking extra compo for what Berrada has cost them in gardening leave pay and not paying the remainder. I’d also be taking legal action as NUFC for leaking commercially sensitive confidential information to a competitor.

And the leaking of confidential information by Ashworth to try and undermine NUFC’s case for compensation is also on the wrong side of the shady line. We know these things go on but if you’re loose enough to get caught you live with the consequences and pay up. It’s pure Phillipe Albertttttttttttt watching this play out.

The crest icon has gone on my bookmarks and it’s not loading. Flogged it to the club? Edit: just seems an outage:

Big Susan!

Given what he’s been caught doing, I wonder if this crowbars open the opportunity to get hold of his personal devices. Obviously can’t find out what he’s squealing about at events like the Brailsford birthday but could allow scrutiny of communications if he’s been found to be sharing confidential information.

Brexit Jim has expectations. Dan must be in the office 5 days a week, even when on gardening leave. Tone from the top and all that.

Beautiful.

Don’t think that’s the case, they’ll have worked it out as the remaining time on his contract - 2.5 years x £1m per annum.

Can someone GenAI an image of Jim the Rat with a Hitler tache.

Embarrassing that.

Can someone get the full story from The Times? Tried the usual tricks of cancelling loading and using Reader but they’ve got wise to this. Headline runs with “Ashworth error could cost Man Utd millions” which is always pleasant. Loving the fact Rat Cafe haven’t picked up on the fact he’s emailed details of his previous confidential compensation agreement to his prospective employer to use in negotiations against his current employer whose tech and infrastructure he’s sending it from. That’s not anyone’s idea of a professional. Well, maybe a professional arsehole.

That defence is too good for them to drop out of the Top 4. They showed they could fight for both the PL and have a reasonable run in the CL this season, I think they kick on. However…the injury gods were very kind to them, I feel they may have missed their window there. I still see them as City’s main competition next season but hope with clever recruitment we can bridge a chunk of the gap.

Passing it on to try and determine Man Utd’s own compensation payment via baselining it v what we paid Brighton. Exactly what he’s after at arbitration. Hope we pull the rug out on that. And then Brighton and City wade in.

Didn’t realise our turncoat defector shite Ollie Harrison was playing for England too. 4-0.

Hoping for Tino and Leo to be the double act from 2025/26 onwards.

Odd Todd Brohly and Jim Ratshit. The gifts that keep on giving.

A nice notion but City will be bang up for it if Berrada has been breaching his contract. What it boils down to is if they’re doing this, what else are they up to that they haven’t been caught doing yet? Passing over negotiations, clauses, wages, strategy and commercial information? A few laughed it off but Ashworth being at Brailsford’s birthday was a genuine conflict of interest until the compo gets settled.
