I guess we’ll see. If something happens rather quickly now, we can infer Ashworth’s existing contract with the club may have been an influencing factor.

Seems like PSR may have been the influencing factor.

Was about to say that. Hopefully not too much of a problem, but I could imagine the situation would filter out some candidates who were looking for easy street.

Would love us to try and get Rangnick for this now that he's out of the Euros with Austria.

I’d be on board with this 

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

In theory absolutely! However, not sure it would justify the increase in Froggy posts. 

[Scoot]

Could be bollocks of course.

[The Prophet]

I'm not sure about Sporting Director, but we should be making them a very good offer.

[Memphis]

Time to run a (Neil) Bath

[Scoot]

Nothing new but...

from Head of Youth Development to Sporting Director seems a big jump but let's see.

 

If we get one (or even both) in the academy setup, I'd be very happy

[The Prophet]

Yep, basically made Cobham what it is today.

First thought was "What fucking league are Cobham in?"

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

Hamcob, then we’ll talk.

Glad it wasn't just me, thought I was missing some in-joke

Left of field choice but could be very exciting if it happens. Looks like he's had an expanded role at Chelsea lately beyond the academy.

The rumours are probably based on this from back in the day.

[midds]

Let's offer £100k for each of them

[The Prophet]

Watch them both end up at Man United

[Dr Venkman]

Fucking hell, an actual transfer Bath 

[PauloGeordio]

Chewsee fans seem gutted at this. Hope it’s us that gets them.

[Abacus]

Personally, I don't like these rumours about exec recruits, possible stadium rebuilds and transfers coming out because it shows we're not being professional.

 

Or else, I don't like all these lack of rumours since I don't know what's going on and therefore have to assume it means nothing is going on.

 

Not sure. Anyway, it's difficult what to think negatively about first, but my word, I'll give it a shot.

Honestly thought to myself “we’re not signing some non league director of football are we”?

 

Vision:

Hello this is Neil Bath of NUFC we’d like to sign your attacking midfielder Julio Geordio. Will £500k, two nets, a bag of footballs, and some Boxes of Walkers crisp do it?

 

 

[Whitley mag]

Clearly off to join Ashworth at the Mancs, unfortunately they’re assembling a very good team off the pitch and making us look like a right bunch of plodders in comparison.

Feels like club has stagnated slightly in recent months, would like to see some positive moves off the pitch this summer and some clear direction of travel.

I am surprised we haven't got someone in place yet - all rumours seem to have disappeared as well.
