Apparently it is 12 months. Not sure they’ll wait for 2 windows

I know.

If he wants to go won’t be that difficult you’d think

Some reports Ashworth would take Sam Jewell to Man Utd as head of recruitment

What’s your view on RDZ ? 7 clubs in 10 years Regardless you’d argue that his career has had an upwards trajectory - West Brom - The FA - us - Newcastle - Man Utd is all a career on the up

On the flip side - did our recruitment and overall football strategy not improve when Ashworth joined us compared to what happened before ?

Bump 👀

She’s not CEO - she’s ‘co-owner’ but has taken CEO role until they find a new one since Lee Charnley went in January

Indeed - not sure we put a foot wrong with signings since Ashworth came in. Compare that to Ali J, Locadia etc …

Athletic reporting that Man Utd were exploring taking Ashworth but Geordies moved quicker ..

Does anyone think Ashworth leaving has had a bigger impact than thought? Not that I believe he was involved in anything / much day to day with the first team but the timing of it is curious

Agreed - but Ashworth hasn't taken the job yet. And you'd need to prove that Ashworth co-ordinated it, rather than Newcastle doing off their own back. Perhaps all this negotiation / settlement stuff is providing a window of opportunity for Newcastle to approach others until Ashworth takes the...

Not sure a settlement agreement / employment contract or NDA would prevent this happening though. And I guess there is things in employment law that say Brighton can stop a member of staff going to work for someone else without good reason. And any of this leads to a court case any way which I...

:ffsparr: The problem is - the club were vocal about not standing in the way of staff if approached with other opportunities. So we've sent a precedent for Ashworth to cherry pick the staff he wants to take up there

Could you not argue the same about us in a way? Under Dick Knight we were skint, rattling around the lower EFL. Then we had a rich benefactor come in that drove the success we have now?

Probably 6 months - which is what he had when we took him from the FA

Why do people think any compensation is involved? Presumably Ashworth is an employee.

Winstanley was here before Ashworth & Weir… I wonder what his thoughts on it all are

Maybe - but it’s a hell of a jump and he was only made assistant after Ashworth was approached by Newcastle …

Yes I think it was not coincidental. If Weir does take it permanently then I don’t believe the ‘we always have a succession plan stuff’ If Weir was that important he wouldn’t have just been a ‘Loans Manager’ up until recently - so someone will come in as DoF / TD - with Weir staying assistant...
