STM Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Ashworth is more important than any player we sign. The sooner he arrives, the quicker we can start getting players in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 For timing that would make sense. He’s here to do all the heavy lifting for Howe so all the transfer activity could pick up pace as soon as he’s at his desk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are they trying to keep people happy and attempt to do things the correct way? Or at least the perceived correct way. I know staveley mentioned in her earlier interviews that they were trying to assure other clubs we aren't just going to bulldoze in. I think its partly that and partly the fact that his role isn't really going to be that much involved in actual individual transfers. Assuming he has the same sort of role he had at Brighton. From the Athletic article a few months back they have him down as more of a "big picture" hire, rather than a "there's a really good left back in the Belgian third division we should look at" Put it this way - I don't think our transfer activity this summer will be vastly different whether Ashworth starts in June or not. From the article; Broadly speaking, he had an overseeing role covering the men’s first team, the women’s team, the academy, loans, medical and sports science departments. Speaking to The Athletic in February 2020, Ashworth said: “I don’t like hierarchical structures, so I always draw it that the technical director sits in the middle of the wheel and on the outside of the wheel is the head of each department. The job of the technical director is to just keep that wheel spinning." Signing players was not Ashworth’s primary task and there is little concern on the south coast that Newcastle’s approach will have a detrimental effect on Brighton’s transfer plans or way of operating.

He’s just another Geordie dentist, where everyone thinks he knows what’s going on because he lives in the country where rumours are coming from. The Geordie dentist largely came to the forefront when BZG were supposed to be interested in buying us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never looked forward to a season as much since fuck knows when, even in the keegan days there was a feeling that we had a ceiling but now I honestly think we can do anything and there are a lot of clubs shitting themselves.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I think Bruno v Arsenal because it capped off the first time we outplayed and beat a top 6 team. Plus just the whole occasion. The bloke at 10 mins 30 in that video is all of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a goal, but when Dubs caught the cross at Leeds in the 94th minute and lay on it. The relief was just unreal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
