Novocastrian Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 5 hours ago, Froggy said: Incredible how opinion changed on this guy once we started getting linked. No concrete sources from our end reporting this yet. Wheeler isn't totally unreliable, but I'll believe it when I see it. I don't understand why someone would come from Newcastle to us now given the trajectory of the two clubs, but I suppose the appeal of being the man responsible of taking us back to the top is very appealing. He would be treated like a God. He’s probably the dog’s danglies but he’s not been here long enough to have made a significant impact and he wasn’t involved in our early transfer market successes. I think most Toon fans are nonplussed at the links, if he wants to leave before he’s even got started so be it. There are others out there who would jump at the chance.

El Prontonise Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 If I was him, I'd be probably use the situation to get a pay rise hence why there's nothing from him. Perfect reasonable situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

et tu brute Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Howe said he expects to see him here long term, looks like maybe a non story. I'm always a big believer that if anyone does want to go then get them out asap doesn't matter who it is, but I feel Howe would have discussed everything internally, although he did quantify it by saying it's not for him to discuss another person's news Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 From an outsider looking in, Man United are a bin fire at executive level. If I were Ashworth and Interested, I'd want to see how the executive structure looked once Ratcliffe has taken his slice of pie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBez comesock Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 He’s not going (during his current contract) 1000000000% Whether he goes when it runs out Who knows ? definitely not going anytime soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did make me wonder why Howe has to field these types of questions constantly interviews - considering we’ve stocked up now on senior figures at the club instead of just tea boy Penfold, why are they not fielding questions from time to time?

magvicar Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 My take on Dan Ashworth is the same take as any employee at the football club. If the rumours are true and he's wanting out then I wash my hands of him straight away. He basically means nothing to me just as any player wanting out before they have any real impact at the club. Life goes on and so does the football club, whoever departs. But as we all know, rumours are just that until the proof in the pudding comes to the fore.

WideopenMag Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I think he'll stay, reflects quite badly on anyone in that position if they leave so early in a project. Almost makes his position pointless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myleftboot Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Sure I read this morning he only has 12 months left on a contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 There's always the risk that Man U will offer to triple his salary, which would be very tempting for anyone. I don't think anything else will entice him, because Man U have problems which this new structure involving Ratcliffe and Brailsford is unlikely to improve.

Krabbe2 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Man Utd will have to bide their time or pay big compensation if they are determined to appoint Dan Ashworth as sporting director because he has a 12-month notice period in his contract at Newcastle, according to the Daily Mail.
