Why Man United want Dan Ashworth

2024-02-19に共有
Manchester United want Dan Ashworth to be their new sporting director.
Ashworth has been placed on gardening leave after informing Newcastle of his desire to leave the club.

Newcastle are now chasing a £20 million fee to release Ashworth from his contract. So, how will this battle between the clubs play out as both teams chase Champions League football next season. And why is the ex-Brighton Technical Director so sought after?

Ayo Akinwolere is joined by The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Manchester United writer Laurie Whitwell and Newcastle correspondent Chris Waugh to discuss.

    Man U wanted a 2.5 mill loan fee + 12 million survival fee in the 21/22 season but let's not forget Newcastle quoting Man U 50 mil for Sean Longstaff in 2019.
  • This is about ego and hurt feelings, nothing else. Newcastle did the EXACT same thing to Brighton for Dan Ashworth, not 2 years ago. It's now happening to them. A bigger club wants him, he wants to go. It's the natural order of things. Newcastle are bigger than Brighton, man utd are bigger than Newcastle. Newcastles feelings are understandably hurt. Que serra serra

    Only United could get football podcast have a whole episode about their management…
  • What we can understand from things going around with #ManUtd is that, Utd is a bigger club in EPL than any other teams .
  • @manqobakunene
    Chris brought up the Lingard situation but he failed to bring up the Sean Longstaff situtation...🙃
  • As a Newcastle fan I don't really get why either Man United fans or fans are getting worked up over this. Dan Ashworth is employed by Newcastle. Man United want him to work for them. Newcastle are under no obligation to just let Dan go and work at a rival prem club, especially if there's a buy out clause in his contract. At the same time Dan is a human and if he feels he's been given an offer to good to refuse then he'll accept it like we all would. This is just business.

    Great to see the faces of the names I've heard on a daily basis. Lets face it no other clubs or fans like to see United thrive that's why they always like to see us struggle.
  • @GMJ-rc9nk
    My first time watching this channel and I can't help notice that there was alot of "We revealed this" and "We revealed that" talk, like you guys wernt just one of a thousand other reporters saying the same stuff at the same time 🤷‍♂️
  • WELL DONE , KEEP IT GOIN , 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊TEAMWORK🎉
  • I'd like to know more about how success is measured for a Sporting Director. If it is a long term appointment what are the markers of having achieved anything. In cases where they employ the manager the effects are perhaps more apparent. However in 1-2 years what have they done, hired some people to delegate responsibilities to? What is the talent pool like globally for such a specialist role?
  • You guys I just had a thought, and this may be farfetched and/or me being pessimistic because of how shite we have been and that has filled me with disbelief that United is moving like a big club. Won't this "galacticos" of executives mean a clash of personalities and stepping on feet? Everyone will want to be the "saviour" of the club? I mean sure they will act within their roles but how rigid is that really? I hope they find the synergy for the betterment of the club and not individuals.
  • Great podcast but there’s just so many adverts. Makes for a really frustrating user experience - although I understand the need to monetise.
  • Big up Ayo. it's called PSR in the PL, not FFP. You got it right, while the other suckers/club fed sources refer to FFP. Guys when you become older, remember to check your personal PSA values. ETH in. No more random result, counter-attacking moments FC, gone on for to long. In the modern game, you need pace and mobility. Fridges plays NFL. Bring on Ajax-style football, Gegenpress 4-3-3 Holding. Professionals with proven track-record in. Murthough out. Glazers out! United need more Vikings. Thanks Roy Keane..
