They are reported as looking for a CEO as well as a Technical Director.

I can't help wondering if they tried to poach Paul "new contract" Barber as well. I guess we'll never know.

Bye :shrug:

Naylor Says No.

I guess we are going to get a comprehensive audit of the moral fibre of a lot of our payroll now. :nono:

It is inevitable. The cash will keep pouring in. Football with no jeopardy.

There is no challenge at Newcastle - he can put his feet up and watch them inevitably winning the league in a couple of years time - whilst counting his cash.

Indeed. Newcastle are guaranteed to win the league many times in the next few years. There is no challenge in that role. Just loads and loads of cash.

I'm loving Tony's handling of Cashworth's resignation. Puts a real marker down that no one is going to be able to poach Potter on the cheap and that we will be very robust in dealing with any approach.

He could. Although I doubt Newcastle would be allowed to hire him within the rules of the PL/FA during the gardening leave time frame. That's speculation, by the why. The alternative is an unregulated, Wild West situation within the league :shrug:

Very interesting that Cashworth has been held to his notice period meaning compensation wasn't agreed. A contrast with the ease of the Dan Burn transfer. One deal was clearly done the right way and the other not so much. Tony very much laying down a marker that if anyone wants to take...

Tony will know this. I'm sure he already has a plan.

Under contract though. Tony could hold out for fees way above their market value. He seems hacked off.

Not that fussed about the effect Ashworth leaving will have on the club. Tony protects the club interests pretty well. Ashworth has done the initial work of setting systems up, we might need different skills moving forward. My only concern - not megabucks offers for Trossard or Bissouma etc...

We know Tony is very big on loyalty - see the Brentford chairman, see Poyet.

Easy to say that I would take it, but knowing my soul, I know I wouldn't. I can live without their riches.

Add an "Ashworth Tax" on top of the "Khashoggi Tax" ? ???

I hope he enjoys his Sportswashing. And I hope Potter has more integrity when Ashworth "headhunts" him for Newcastle.

Easy to say when I know myself. I just couldn't live with myself if I worked for them. I wouldn't even need time to think about it.

Yep. Not even for just one year. I have to look myself in the mirror and live with the life I have had.
