Smug Eddie worries Ashworth will take insider info to Man Utd

This might be totally harsh, but i've got an impression of the fella, that he's on his 5th wife having previously left the other 4, every time for someone slightly younger and slightly more attractive.
Ha ha. I mean, you are sort of right.
But if your job is to set the long term strategic direction of an organisation, I think that comes with an unsaid expectation that you're not going to up and leave in the middle of that task the moment a slightly bigger organisation comes along.

Losing Ashworth is a blow, but directors of football will come and go. What we don't want is any of our young players or potential transfer targets to be swayed in the same way.
If a player want to go to Blood money Utd I don't blame them. At that age it's fair they shouldn't...
