James Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 2 minutes ago, LRD said: So Brighton are going to pay him for 9 months to do absolutely nothing? Doesn't make financial sense nor does it tie in with their "free to negotiate and leave" approach. While being anti-employment to boot By keeping him on the books until September they are preventing lost future revenue relating to their scouting network which probably significantly exceeds Ashworths salary so it makes perfect financial sense. it isn’t anti employment because he is being paid very well and is serving his agreed notice period.

madras Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 11 minutes ago, James said: Thing is Ashworth knows the name of the 19 year old Argentinian winger, 16 year old Forest Green Rovers full back and 23 year old Slovenian goalkeeper that Brighton will be able to sign for a combined £3m in the summer. I don’t think Brighton will want that info passed on to other clubs so I think he will have to serve the full 9 months gardening leave. With hints like that I'm pretty sure we could find the forest Green full back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I would rest easy anyway considering the owners wouldn't wait 9 months to get their man. It will be sorted out in time for our summer activities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saying it is hard for Brighton to reinforce DA not interfering with our club in private. Love to know what goes in your mind sometimes, James.

r0cafella Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 The last reports I saw is that we were negotiating with Brighton to release him earlier but we were far apart. And there we also wanted their Academy director. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Brighton are understandably blind sided by this. They're not looking to do us any favours and right now we don't need to force their hand. I think it'll get sorted this summer and he'll move across.

Was incredibly underwhelming with New York Red Bulls and comes days after his manager seemed to take a swipe at his efforts.

TBG Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Shocking from the club. Can't believe they're going to leave Dan locked away in a shed with no access to the outside world until his contract ends which will then and only then, allow him to communicate with others.
