My understanding is that ManU want him, he wants to go to ManU but as he is Toon property for the next 18 months we are refusing to let him go on the cheap. We want £20m and ManU want him for £3m hence we have a stalemate, nothing brutal about it at all it's just business - bit like the Jesse Lingard situation was. Howey the lads!” 👆🏻In a nutshell As far as I'm aware we haven't stated any price, only that what they offered wasn't acceptable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggys First Goal Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Keeps calling him world class. Well if he’s world class, you pay world class fees. Are they expecting to buy world class players but not pay the fees for them? Brexit Jim about to have a nasty wake up call if he thinks this is how you do business in football.

Kimbo Posted Sunday at 11:44 Share Posted Sunday at 11:44 It’s not ideal but I think we’re left with little option, given that as far as we know Man U have offered loose change as compensation and are sticking with it. A deal can be done but their “go very low, stick with it, and insult everyone” tactic isn’t constructive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted Sunday at 11:46 Share Posted Sunday at 11:46 The more he talks waffle, the more he sounds like a grandiose Ashley. As even Pardew said, Ashley didn't really understand how football works, and Ratcliffe admits being confused about elements of football being so different to how he's used to working. Tough m8. Thing is, I remember being quite happy right at the start of Ashley's time about how he was cutting out unnecessary waste, not overspending, that we weren't being taken for mugs, driving hard bargains in the transfer market etc. Didn't take too long for that to go badly. If it was a mistake us appointing Ashworth, at least we're not making one in how he is going. Really don't think Ratcliffe has taken on the right club to try and play hardball with in public Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag-ic Posted Sunday at 11:47 Share Posted Sunday at 11:47 We should politely request via the Premier League that one of our fellow member clubs stop talking about the contract situation of one of our contracted employees in the media. Perhaps we should suggest sanctions whilst we’re at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it costs us a few million, it's worth it in the long run to show that these tactics cannot and will not work. Plus if we accept some shit lowball offer now, it sets an entirely different precedent for future negotiations too. Short term there's a reasonable argument for accepting whatever we can get, something's better than nothing etc, but long term you've always got to stand up to bullies because that's the only way their behaviour changes.

Wolfcastle Posted Sunday at 14:49 Share Posted Sunday at 14:49 (edited) Incredible how he's made such a pigs ear out of something that should have been so trivial and could even now be sorted by simply paying the money were due - on top of which I cant see Ashworth being worth the faff.

And he looks like a daft cunt who can’t even use BCC You reckon the very toppermost of the poppermost football clubs are looking at Ashworth and thinking “oooh yeah, there’s a smart operator who we should entice from Man Utd in the future” He’s been shown up as an untrustworthy dunce who can’t even send confidential emails correctly 2 years of gardening leave since 2022 will look shitty on his CV too. Talk us through your achievements in the foootball world in the last couple of years please Dan ? Ermmmmmmm. None.
