If we had bought a player from Brighton who then increased in value, should we bend the knee and give you a bargain? Nope Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye only one set of fans having a meltdown over this. The cockney and Irish twats never change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that means he won't have had access to all of our intel, although in reality he probably has. The Times was reporting today that we are looking for £15m compensation, not the £20m reported yesterday. Hard to tell if that is accurate, as the national rags are probably negotiating on Man U's behalf. I was told he didn't have the same level of freedom as he did at Brighton which is why he is unhappy, long before the Man U interest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted February 20, 2024 Share Posted February 20, 2024 Apparently he's on £3.5M a year, so the figures of £15m+ make sense if hes on a multi year contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted February 20, 2024 Share Posted February 20, 2024 Everything Newcastle is doing is standard practice, it’s no meltdown. If Man U don’t want to pay the compensation required then they can wait or look elsewhere. The ball is in their court. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted February 20, 2024 Share Posted February 20, 2024 7 minutes ago, madras said: Ashworth ? 1.5mill a year is the most quoted. Aye you're absolutely right I misread i understands Ashworth is paid around £1.5m a year by Newcastle, which makes him the top earning director of football in the Premier League. Paying that salary while he sits out the rest of his contract on gardening leave would be an expensive way to make a point but the message is clear: they won’t be bounced into wrapping up a deal unless it is on their terms.

Gottlob Posted February 20, 2024 Share Posted February 20, 2024 I just wish I'd have been in the room when Ashworth was forced to deliver the news to His Excellency. No doubt Al-Rumayyan ate his asshole alive, with a tongue lit by the fire of a thousand Saudi oil rigs! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way a business like Manchester United or individual like Ashworth would risk this though obviously, if you live in the real world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted February 20, 2024 Share Posted February 20, 2024 This "he'll work for Man Utd during gardening leave" stuff is so bs btw Even if he did take the odd call here and there, it's not like he'd be able to perform his work anything close to the standard that is required, but taking that aside, I doubt Ashworth is the type of person who would risk his reputation, career and legal trouble to do a half arsed job for no pay.
