Superior Acuña Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 If this guy's really such a genius who can revolutionize recruiting and turnover players for big profits, surely he's easily worth 15-20mil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be hard for him to tell Man U our targets, we can't stop him speaking to people at the club. Doubt he would risk doing that considering who our owners are.

I hope the moment Man U are even linked with one of our targets he gets a visit in the middle of the night from the Saudi Furio Giunta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a brief scroll through redcafe when someone posted a link couple of pages ago, and there were quite a few man utd fans who thought ffp was coming to bite them in the ass very soon so they didn't like the thought of spending £20m on Ashworth. Not sure how accurate that is, but at least its something that is being discussed/worried about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I love the "All access to computer and scouting network blocked" statement. Are we going to block access to his brain and anything he was written down on bits of paper? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 We hold all the cards in this situation. I hope we make good progress and have a replacement sorted soon. And we should play hard ball over Man U, if he's the guy they've identified that will restructure their club then we can test how much they value him. If they think our demands are unreasonable then that's fine, they can then either wait 2 years or move on and find someone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It honestly just sounds like Henry Winter has never played Champ Man. He should try it; it would blow his socks off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I’m not sure why some quarters are shocked this by the figures quoted. Given what we paid for him. I think two things were obvious from the outset. 1, this was always going to be expensive for them. 2, If they wanted to waive his garden leave it would be eye wateringingly expensive.

Ben Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Asworth must been planning this for months, I bet he's been sitting copying files and documents to his private hard drives for weeks, I wonder if he scuppered any transfer deals in January to fuck us over, it'll be interesting to see who Man U sign in the summer.

Nah - any work you do whilst at a club is property of the club. You don’t get to take it with you when you go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt that. That would be an very easy check - and is a guaranteed injunction plus damages waiting to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzaschicken Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I don't recall ashworth being this much of a coup when we signed him but now he's going to manure he's Jesus Christ reincarnated. Although I would have liked to keep him it looks like he's gone regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
