Dr.Spaceman Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Bloke's not gone til he's gone. He's also not the only person in the world who can do what he does. We'll be okay if he decides to jump ship, it'll just be a shame that one of the new regime's first picks has left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Our fans are funny man. 6 months ago it was "Ashworth masterclass" now a few dodgy rumours and a few shit injuries and the Tonali thing and he's a 2 faced rat and can be replaced no bother. He would be a massive blow if he went. It would also put a spanner in the works considering what they have probably planned for January/summer.

Krabbe2 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Football and emotions are fresh produce. Can't rest on the past all the time. Now there are some pieces that need to be in place before this becomes a reality anyway. On the other hand, it must only be positive that we have attractive employees.

Strawberry Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) If Ashworth leaves it would be good for the football club. He made us timid. All the takeover euphoria is vanished with his l know it all approach. He was at WBA, England, Brighton three sides with one big fat 0 trophy. Granted he bought and sold some average players at Brighton but as the richest club in the world making profit by selling players shouldn't be a thing to aim for. We need a Micheal Edwards or someone sound from Europe. The German director of football at Westham is doing wonders. I would fire him let alone giving time for him to jump the ship. With club did a lot without him in Jan 2022 than he did with three transfer windows it is tellig how on earth he got the tag he is good operator blah blah Edited December 21, 2023 by Strawberry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Prontonise Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 If he's moved on then fair enough as long he's done his job while he's been here (which is a yes from me), should never get too attached to the people in these types of positions.

Managers are supposed to be long term appointments as well and they were back in the day.... As people are seeing DoF's to be worth their weight in gold nowadays expect the same with these positions and for people who are very good at the roles to jump ship much more quickly imo.

Managers aren’t really long term appointments to be frank, Saf was the exception not the rule. I bet the average manager term is 2 years or so (at PL level). If he does go he’s got history of walking out part way through a job so I don’t think any of us will be surprised. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I'm confident a suitable replacement will be found, the full club is now ran by professionals, not some bag carrier on £40k a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there been anything concrete yet though. I saw one of my journo mates yesterday and he said he’d heard nothing concrete at all yet. The original story mentions the link between Asworth and Brailsford but then there’d just been rehash stories after the initial story (can’t remember who wrote the initial story).

Aye, it’s wild He’s irreplaceable, we’re doomed ! Versus He‘s shite and a rat, sack him ! Slightly over 2 years ago we had one incompetent lickspittle doing every single leadership job at the club. Now we’ve got some of the best people in the industry. They’ll come and go, that’s business Have some perspective people And never, ever, ever, trust the Sun and Daily Mail Edited December 21, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Again as I said a few days ago, maybe give this some credence if and when Radcliffe is actually confirmed to have a 25% stake in the club. Until then it’s like everything that’s been said by Radcliffe in the press, pie in the sky ideas about what he would like to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
