Yay, this crap again

This cunt finished growing his geraniums yet?

[nemtizz]

Less midgets at the club the better

[wormy]

More tedious than an MBappe 'will he won't he' transfer saga, this.

Bye Dan

[NSG]

Stick him on gardening leave for 12 months unless they pay us £50m.

[timeEd32]

This is going to get messy unless he just commits to us.

Edwards article not half as bad as the headline makes out

Edwards is a wind up click baiting fuckfest, I can't recall him getting anything correct regarding us.

 

Also on record admitting to winding Newcastle Fans up, blokes a wanker, ignore.

[Keegans Export]

Basically, he might want to leave. He might not. We want him to commit and he hasn't so far. Non-story as it stands.

This.

 

Bored of it already though.

Likewise.  It’s a fucking boring story.  Wish Man Utd would either buy him out or fuck off

[Dr Jinx]

I’m not worried about this at all. He was approached already and gave no indication he wanted to leave here.

 

Man Utd may well be interested but nothing has changed. I think they have fuck all to write about so it’s a free hit.

[Scotty66]

"Newcastle fear Ashworth to leave, yet a source close to Ashworth says he's happy to stay"

 

"And in other news the WORLD WILL END but the date is yet to be confirmed."

[wormy]

As if this story couldn't get any worse, Edwards trots along to stick his vino-soaked oar in.

Edwards always writes so that all possibilities could still happen, his desire to say "I told you so" is the total reason for his journalism career.

It’s pretty clear he’s going to go. To be honest I thought we would have seen more of the benefits of his supposed elite skills.

"Credit to Luke Edwards..." 

[Armchair Pundit]

Not really seeing the draw of Man Utd these days to be honest. They're not the club the were years ago, their only benefit over us is the established revenue, other than that Radcliffe looks like a pauper next to our owners. Man Utd is rotten to the core, the players, the management, the co-owners and the fans, so it's going to take a lot more to get them built up again. I just can't see free reign or time being given to improve them or them being as exciting and interesting a prospect as us. Behind the scenes our non-playing staff and infrastructure is brand spanking new, like a newly assembled race car that needs tuning and improving on, whereas Man Utd is just a clapped out old banger that has a big name.

 

... of course, I could be a little biased... but I don't think so.

[r0cafella]

I’m properly worried about this, I love Eddie but the club better not go and appoint his mate from Bournemouth. 

[Whitley mag]

Michael Edwards still out of work, would be an obvious target if he could be tempted.

[Scotty66]

I think if there's anything giving Ashworth doubts about staying it's the FFP position. No matter how good you are if your hands are tied behind your back it's going to piss you off eventually in a position like his.

 

However he's at the start of a massive massive project and one that he could be instrumental in with things eventually getting built exactly how he wants.

 

Personally think he would be crazy to jump ship now but if he does I'm sure our replacement will be top class.

Maybe that Edwards fella who Liverpool wanted? Didn't he turn them down?

No, I think the bias is showing  (nowt wrong with that)

 

Man Utd are much, much bigger than us, and are far more likely to win trophies than we are in the coming years.  Our owners having a great big pot of cash is utterly meaningless if you can’t spend it.  Even if we could spend it, the idea would be to try and become as big as a Man Utd - a massive challenge even without the FFP restrictions.

 

I’m not seeing the state-of-art infrastructure at NUFC that you’re talking about.  We still don’t really know what’s planned - lots of it is hope and supposition.

 

That benefit of having three times our income is quite a benefit, and if a player was given a choice of NUFC or Man Utd, then nine times out of ten they’re going to go to Old Trafford
