Jagten Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 10 hours ago, TheBrownBottle said: Likewise. I’m never trusting of being told someone is fantastic with little data or information to support why that person is so fantastic. Interested to note that you’re unimpressed by his data analysis appointments (and I imagine you’d have been very much casting your eyes across that). Didn’t you mention previously that Liverpool’s team was Harvard PhD types, and ours … weren’t? Completely agree. Yes, that’s correct. I can personally confirm our new head of data doesn’t know anything about stats/ML/AI/whatever, but probably best I don’t expand on that. It’s the only info I do have on Ashworth’s job here and it’s a bad miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s hoping we take Man U to the cleaners over Compen and, he makes not a jot of difference to them. If he’s as good as we believed then it’s a huge appointment for them. While I can understand why he might go, I'd hardly call it a no brainer. Man U are one of the biggest clubs in the world, but so are we now. If he goes you could understand why, if he decided he'd rather see out this very exciting project at Newcastle, that wouldn't have been a huge surprise either. I think his close ties with some of the people at Man U is playing a bigger part than the reputation of Man U. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 If Ashworth is going to be playing with Man U money, I wonder if he'll try to buy Anthony Gordon. He's known him since England youth and Man U could pay the wages Sancho got. He would probably also magically appear in the England team. Realistically its 100M, so that's our FFP sorted, at the cost of our player of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recruitment is one part of a pretty wide job spec. Even then, it's way too early to be calling any of those players a failure. The absence of two of them in the short term has been a huge blow, but Tino and Hall have been signed with the long term in mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just a nod and a wink that they won’t be in contact with their new employer Any commercially sensitive dialogue at all between him and Man U people in relation to his new role will see him banged to rights by the lawyers But you probably already know that and are just on the wind up, you pesky little scamp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
