Guest reefatoon Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Well since FFP killed any kind of excitement in the transfer market, this is now where we get our kicks. The Director transfer market is the place to be. Hope we can manage to spread the money and bring a few new directors in, would be a massive boost to the boardroom to announce at least three, (one of them a holding director for the number 6 freaks). Can’t wait to see who we bring in. Might get his name on the back of me suit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 1 hour ago, KaKa said: Actually quite excited about this. Think we could do with someone with a bit more of a player recruitment leaning to them. Perhaps that would have helped with some of the decision making we've seen regarding doing a better job of targeting certain areas and getting a better balanced squad. @KaKa here seems to suggest we could have made better decisions in certain areas in the transfer market and have a better balance in the squad. Not pointing the finger at you, but a few of us said the window left us short of quality, depth and balance. Many refuted that and were extremely happy with the window. Sounds like you’re playing both sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydazzla Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) Hello and welcome to the new series of Gardeners World, I'm your new host Monty Dan This week we'll mainly be working on a small patch of grass in Manchester, trying to figure out how to remove an infestation of slugs who are proving rather troublesome despite earning millions of billions of pounds per week And my co-host Chemical Jim will be trying to renovate the 25% share of a greenhouse he's bought, whilst having to deal with some rather unhelpful Glazers Edited February 19 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different teams with different budgets and needs. Our signings under Ashworth weren't Brighton's targets, as far as I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 His main remit doesn't seem to be transfers anyway. Man U haven't been run like an elite professional outfit. He's there to institute that primarily. Whispers that he's been a bit unhappy here. Our approach to recruiting professionals seems a little more scattergun than Man U's (the timing and their position is a lot better - they can largely ignore this season) so there's been jostling for power here that he might not have to do at Man U.

Dr.Spaceman Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Why does a lot of folk assume Ashworth is / was just a glorified scout? He puts the scouting department in place, he doesn't actually do the scouting afaik Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he’s the man who has been appointing all these analysts and scouts ? I certainly don’t think everything is a well oiled machine at the club currently, but by his own description he’s the man that puts everything in place, would be interesting to know why he’s been unhappy with the set up currently, not that we’ll ever find out.

I wonder if he thinks Howe has too much input? Eddie does like a particular profile of player, and he's very hands on across a lot of roles at the club. Maybe little Dan wanted a bit more limelight?

SUPERTOON Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Personally think most are reading too much into it. He’s good mates with those at Ineos and he gets to join a massive club. Nothing else in it imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His big pal wants him at one of the biggest clubs in the world, of course he's going to fancy it. He could have been unbelievably happy here and still fancied it. If he was leaving for Everton for example you'd ask the question, but it's Man Utd. That's all there is to it imo.

GeordieT Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Douglas in the Independent seems to be suggesting we won’t replace like for like, or at least his successor will have a slightly different remit. Which I’d hope wouldn’t be the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't say it in so many words but I don't think he wants Ashworth around the place. Let’s hope it’s not one of howe’s stone cold press bluffs and he’s off with him.
