Someone with experience of working in difficult circumstances and someone with a squeaky clean record? I think everyone knows the name I’m about to mention and I’d be surprised if anyone isn’t 100% behind it - Derek Llambias You've misspelled Lambeezy there.

Ashley was always destined to be an arsehole, but certainly at the time Mort ending his sabbatical from Freshfields and Llambias replacing him felt like a massive sliding doors moment.

Never heard anything but good about him. 33 minutes ago, Optimistic Nut said: I've got no memory of this. Fair play. Really interesting, likewise this had completely passed me by.

Next summer is the worry if they don't sort this out. LB, CB and CF this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 They made the mistake of doing it all very, very publicly, presumably in the hope that we'd crumble. We made the same mistake with Emery, although we seemed to learn that lesson quite quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Ashworth must be wondering what he’s agreed to join. These amateurs tapped him up and presumably told him they’d sort out the compensation etc, now he’s agreed and effectively lost his job they’re trying to do it on the cheap.

Radcliffe is the personification of arrogance, Ashley esque when he bought us. He clearly did no DD and expected we’d just happily let him go.

Pablo Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Let’s all laugh at Manure. They might bully and exert pressure on the premier league to get their inequitable demands met, but the way that club and fan base have handled the very unprofessional and public pursuit and unsettling of our contractually employed DOF is crass. The fall out and petty comments from them are hilarious. £20million is nothing if they seriously think that Dan is going to improve them from challengers to champions. Their new ownership are coming across as cheap and extremely classless - long may it continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton7 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 So hypothetically let’s say they say no, we’re not paying and we stand firm. What happens to Ashworth. He can’t come back and work for us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Predictable as fuck. "We are Man U, only we are allowed to ask big money to release staff from their contracts" This is what happens when cartels are allowed to run the whole league without any fear of competition.

Ratcliffe is the biggest bluffer going plus arrogant to boot. The PR shots of him beaming into the middle distance with his weird comb over have been nauseating and remind me why I dislike that club. The media fawning has been awful, even describing his arrival at the club as a “takeover”. It WASN’T a takeover, they didn’t GET their takeover (we did). The Glazers are still there but apparently this is some brave new dawn for Manchester Red. Norwich scarves have been discarded for the foreseeable. Asking us to pay for their new stadium. Stadium of the North is it? They’re taking our (or Villa’s say) slice of the pie, cheating to do so , pretending that they’re not and then rubbing that fact in our faces through the press. Hope he and they fail in every conceivable manner for the rest of eternity. Edited March 29 by Joelinton7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 The argument is over when he’s released from his contract. They’ll pay the 21m but want him released straight away. We've told them to fuck off in no uncertain terms. They are more than happy to keep him on paid leave for the duration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they can have him now of they pay up. They just won't pay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
