Joelinton7 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 So is that him moving leaving the u21 setup and moving upstairs? To me it sounds like he’d be looking for hookups with teams like Larne, which we’ve already done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton7 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 From Hope about a new analyst Newcastle have been told that an incoming senior analyst must first complete a period of gardening leave at a rival club… and it’s Manchester United and Dan Ashworth making them wait. Luke Dickson informed his Man United bosses that he wanted to quit to take up a key post within Eddie Howe’s first-team set-up earlier this year. But Old Trafford chiefs, with Ashworth as sporting director, told the 28-year-old he could not start his new role on Tyneside until November. This has been met with a sigh by some inside Newcastle, who see the move as a tit-for-tat response to Ashworth’s own attempts to leave St James’ Park in February. He was placed on gardening leave and only started at Man United in June after a compensation package was agreed. We understand that fee was around £3million. Despite the money-saving job cuts being implemented by the new INEOS-led regime, it is said Berwick-raised Dickson will not receive any pay-off because he has chosen to leave for his boyhood club. Even so, after five years at the club as lead academy analyst, he is still being made to see out a contractual period of gardening leave. Ashworth’s exit from Newcastle was acrimonious and Mail Sport revealed earlier this year how the-then sporting director sent an email in February to Omar Berrada - the incoming Man United chief executive - in which he made it clear he wanted to accept an offer of the same role at Old Trafford. However, Ashworth sent a blind copy to his Newcastle email address before apparently realising the error and deleting the evidence. This alerted his employers to his clandestine talks and so began the drawn-out and frosty process of him leaving. It would appear relations have not thawed during the intervening months.

Dalglish padded it out with Disco Des and Garry Brady.

toontownman Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 3 hours ago, Groundhog63 said: Didn't Keegan scrap the reserves? Aye. While Dalglish had a mare after a good start. Alienating and selling some class players and odd on field decisions, bringing back the reserves was at least one positive lol buying Speed and Solano was a bonus too. The knock on affect of having no one coming through probably wasn't helpful for his remit either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monters Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 12 hours ago, Groundhog63 said: Didn't Keegan scrap the reserves? At the time all reserve games were played on the club ground, Keegan hated that and wanted them to move to Kingston Park to protect the pitch at St James' but in typical fashion got over emotional at any challenge and spat the dummy out walking away from the league... In fairness to him it wasn't long after that the all clubs moved the reserve matches to other venues and there are no reserve teams as such now so he had a point but just went about it in the wrong manner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recon now you could play on our pitch near every day now what with the artificial lights and the hybrid grass.

It is also a key reason why his role was created at Newcastle. “We were aligned, believing it is crucial we learn lessons, to make sure we don’t have that again,” Mitchell said in September of last season’s injury record. The early signs have been encouraging — just as they were in Monaco, when there was an uptick in player availability from 76 per cent before Bunce’s arrival to 90 per cent in 2021-22 — even if sample size remains small. Yet even by his standards regarding Calum Wilsons’s abysmal fitness record, Bunce admitted that even Obi Wan couldn’t improve that record! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
