With news that Brentford are for sale - would it be the time to look at Phil Giles - ask the question as to how much for them to release him and there is the compensation we need to get from the Mancs? :dontknow:

Are they for sale? I thought the owner was just looking for extra funding

No...just no.  The man talks utter nonsense - billionaires just have zero grasp of reality.

I know we have no real idea of Ashworth’s contract but could it be there’s say a 6 month notice period and then say a 12 -14 month enforceable restrictive covenant clause in place? That would make 6 month Gardening Leave that is paid then the restrictive covenant kicks in which is unpaid. I don’t think they run concurrent and it takes us to around the 20 month period that’s been touted around.

Was watching Loaded Mag NUFC on youtube yesterday and some guest called Specks from Geordie Dredd TV raised a very good point:

 

Basically us landing Dan Ashworth as a DoF has been a total waste of time.

 

A DoF is a long term appointment, like Howe already said in his press conference. In hindsight we would have been better off going for someone who was committed for the long haul and would be building us for the next 5 years. Now we are starting all over again.

 

I'm sure Dan will have put some good work in place, but you are left with doubts about his intentions, and whether he was a snidey cunt all along.

 

Eh, I can see the point but not sure I agree with it. We're still benefiting from things he's helped put in place that have helped move us back to being a professional club. And now we get a second chance to make an appointment with the club in a better place and with us knowing what we liked and didn't like about how approach to being a DoF. And we're probably going to profit from the experience.

In the farcical situation of any club getting tax payer funding its a better investment for all to have City's ground extended as it will be easier and cheaper and call that the Norths Wembley.

Wonder what Ratfink makes of that.

That is what it will be, it will say he isn’t allowed to work for a direct rival which would rule out any Premier League team.

So is Paul Mitchell, Michael Edwards, and Giles the ones you think we'll be looking at? Mitchell would be a free as he's not with a club so is Edwards I think. 

My concern with Mitchell is he does seem to not last very long in any job, dating back to Southampton.

 

I can understand the Spurs mess - has anyone in a Manager or Director role not fallen out with that twat Levy? But he burnt out fairly quickly at both Leipzig and Monaco. 

 

Edwards would be a dream, but he seems content building his own consultancy without any of the stress of being directly involved with running a club.

A thinly veiled banner about loyalty and commitment to our cause wouldnt go amiss at the next home game...full 20 months in the cabbage patch is a great option for such as these. He needs a clear message in black and white

He doesn't deserve the attention tbh.

Edwards may be tempted. Only the owners and the senior management which included Ashworth will know the full scale of the plans..
