If Ashworth really thought he was sacked then he would’ve went to work with United right away lol

Newcastle paid £6M for Ashworth from Brighton, why on earth would they accept £3M and take a loss for someone with 2 years left on his contract just because Jim Ratcliffe said so? It’s absolutely bizzare. The NICE fans have said Ratcliffe wants everything for nothing and it’s so true hence him wanting tax payers to fund his new stadium.

It depends how Ashworth advised he wanted to leave. If it was notification by email, then he has advised of his intention to quit and it was accepted. The stuff with Brighton, Newcastle paid the money.

Just what United need, someone that leaks things 😂

There will be content creators making out as if "all this drama" is typical of Manchester United, and they wish that all the off-field stuff was kept indoors and we can just hear about the football. Unfortunately, their livelihoods generally depend on MSM writing stories,from which they create content, which we, in turn, engage with! Once INEOS do get their act together, and the drama surrounding this club dies down, it will be interesting to see how the different circumstances affect the few that only thrive because the club has been so... disjointed for so long!

DAN ASHWORTH IS LIKE MANU'S ROOF......CANT HOLD WATER.

Dan Ashworth has no legs to stand on imo. If this news is true any company has the right to protect their own interests especially if there is a conflict of interest which is a breach of contract. Plus you are not sacked if you are placed on gardening leave as wages are still paid out to fund his ever growing garden.

INEOS are really proving themselves in competent, what a Suprise, 😂😂😂😢😢

The fact hes still accepting a wage from Newcastle would say otherwise

Well this aged well. Tapping up charge coming your way

Newcastle sacked him that's why they have been paying his wages and he has had plenty of time to resign, and the man has shown his integrity by sneaking around telling ppl their transfer dealings I know who I believe

People are blowing this out of proportion

These news prove that the news in the mooring is real, cause Dan didn't deny them

If newcastle thought Ashworth who was i a high place in the board and has access to sensitive information newcastle have every right to place him on gardening leave Ashworth has also implicated barrada who should also be investigated

Ok, so the reason this situation is messy is because Man u have tried to do this all 'through the backdoor'. When Newcastle united went for ashworth from brighton, we approched the club first (after a head hunting firm recommended Ashworth for the position) We then approched BRIGHTON first to negotaite a price to buy him out of his contract, THEN went to ashworth with the contract an job proposal. He agreed and we STILL we waited for 6 months gardening leave before we could have him after all that. Man united Decided to tap him up behind Newcastle united's back while he was STILL empolyed at Newcastle, Turned his head (because of sir dave brailsford being his mate) come join the project etc. We had strong suspicons he was being tapped up and therefore placed him on gardening leave as he is privy to HUGELY sensitive information about our club (Which newcastle is WELL within their rights to do because he is a NEWCASTLE united employee and still is WHILE on gardening leave). Now Ashworth is saying 'wooooo this gardening leave is a bit steep mate!, cmon lemmie go to these guys we all consipried behind your back with for a few months!!! Dont be a mad bro!' and Newcastle are saying 'No, you have axcess to REALLY sensitive information about newcastle and are STILL on the payroll on your gardening leave'. Now Newcastle have found proof of Ashworth commincations with Berrada and Man U while Ashworth was still an emplyee of Newcastle united, because of an email chain Ashworth stupidly CC'ed onto his newcastle account where is is talking to Berrada (who is on man city gardening leave an is not allowed to work for another club) and the contents showed not only was he being tapped up by Man U, but Ashworth was sharing details of contract details between Brighton an Newcastle. That information is not his to divulge to a thrid party coming in to try and poach him. I would love to have the two clubs come to some soret of arrangment as tbh, this storyline is boring and being dragged on and now apparently through the mud. However, Newcastle has been shown zero respect in all of this, from Man U or Ashworth, an yea i get it, we all point and laugh at each other and get tribal over our clubs, but make no mistake, Newcastle does not need to roll over accept some low ball comp offer from a director of football we chased for a long time (and at great expense) to have them and a premier league rival behave in this manner. Dont get annoyed at Newcastle, if i were you id be annoyed at Ashworth/Beraada (and extension Sir jim etc) for being this silly in the way they have tried to approch this move. Hope it gets sorted at some point, but the misinformation flying around this topic is mad.

Boom

If the court says pay the money, then United pay the money and Ashworth starts because Newcastle got their compensation

That's beautifull

That intro song is waay too loud 😂

ex city man tapping people up... no wayyyyyyyy

Newcastle had their best transfer windows before Dan Ashworth started so I think Newcastle will be OK over the summer. I wouldn't mess with PIF and their lawyers, the US government went after them for LIV golf and they ended up taking over the PGA.

There is no fight back. This needs to get resolved before arbitration. Ashsworth claim is just screaming desperate. Hes still getting paid, therefore hes not sacked as its stated. But the emails are evident. Man u have too solve this quickly. Newcastle are laughing right now

If he was “sacked” why can’t he just join man united? Surely there wouldn’t be an argument for garden leave if he was sacked?

you gotta work on the music transistions

Only Man Utd can have a DoF saga

He better be good

so if sacked why did man utd offer a paltry 3m in compo more like they are going to have to stump up the cash before arbitration as tapping up if found can lead to club getting a transfer embargo

He wants to leave for man utd while he is still under contract at newcastle. Of course newcastle wont let him go without compensation and any club would do the same. Ashworth has a little reputation of not wanting to stay at clubs long and makes the club look bad and not himself. Hes not worth all this agro. Man utd and newcastle fans dont deserve all this childish crap

Tyson Fury put up more fight in the 9th round

he can do what he wants but the facts are Newcastle paid 6m to get him from Brighton and there is no way Utd get him for anything less than what hes on the books as no court in the world would allow Utd to get a 6M asset for 2M as Ratcliffe offered. His book value is probably over 4 so thats the price plus a premium as he has to be bought out

As soon as the transfer window closes in the summer, Utd will come up and Newcastle will come down and everything will be sorted. Newcastle will have spoilt Utds window and will claim victory. Newcastle can't claim that he was tapped up because Ashworth will say they done that when he was at Brighton.

Let's not forget a rat will do anything to survive

Ashworth has shown himself to be a man of low morals and if he emails to berrada are also true then a fool also. Why would we want someone like that as the club. We are literally trying to rebuild and remove playera with the bad character

It is flex's view of flexes view?...

What man u will get out of all this is nothing, Ashworth will get a 5 Yr ban, and Berrada will get a lifetime ban for his involvement in City's 115....up yours !! Hahahahaha

*if Ashworth statement is true, there should be no arbitration* Ashworth win!!

I doubt he'll be able to walk. If it goes to arbitration I can't see them side with Ashworth. He is still being paid and therefore employed by Newcastle. If he considered he was no longer working for Newcastle he shouldn't have accepted the salary they've been paying him. I think arbitration would see that as an admission by Ashworth that Newcastle is his employer.

Always drama with this club im tired

Newcastle small club in the northeast 😂

I'll be real this doesn't bode well for my trust in them.... If you're in a contract 101 is get a burner and only use that to communicate nothing else.... Have an "assistant" at the club/business you're trying to go to who handles all the paperwork... Leave no paper trail on your personal devices Its almost embarrassing, for them to be mised up like this

I dont trust Ineos at all yet. Berrarda and ashworth already made a blunder regardless of anything which doesnt bode well as far as getting fans on side. Furthermore Newcastle have nearly signed that fulham centreback Tosin on a free a player who we must be looking to sign esp on a free. Prem proven aswell. We miss on that opportunity aswell. Ineo must show us why we should trust them

Is this guy really that good ? Can’t really see see why Man U going for this guy

united will bend over like it always does. They are so poor at negotiations. remember they spent £55M on mason mount when no one else wanted him. jusr pay NUFC £20M and move on

Ashworth is under contract to Newcastle until 2025 and shouldn't have been talking to any other potential employers. Simple as that .He agreed to such when he signed and accepted higher wages as compensation. Man Utd should have approached Newcastle before they did Ashworth. That is the rule. Ordinary folks like us have short contracts where we give an agreed short notice period.
