As an Albion season ticket holder who goes to almost every game home and away, this is demonstrably untrue.

Hate to say this, but our selection basically has thrown this game. Midfield of Van Hecke (a centre back, his first ever game there), Baleba (looks way off the levels and has only a few starts), and Lallana whose legs have gone. No Gilmour, Groß, Welbeck, March, Mitoma, Milner or Hinshelwood...

He only played left back. Thank you, thank you!

I completely agree, yet that is the fee we’ll ask for, hence my conviction he won’t go anywhere for a while until either his form justifies the fee we’ll demand or someone pays regardless. I’d certainly take Sesko at £40-£60m rather than Ferguson at £80-100m

He was injured.

And Gilmour, Mitoma and Adingra. We’ve also been wrecked with injuries this season, leading players to come back and struggle for form - Estupinan for example has been dropped because he’s been poor since his return. Agree about the goalkeepers though, I’d much prefer a permanent first choice...

De Zerbi said: "He is good but is not spending the best period of his time. “We can help him and we can understand him because he is very young. He can play better. The team needs Evan, but Evan at 100% of his physical and mental condition. "He played well but in small spaces in the last ten...

The issue with Ferguson right now is he looks bereft of confidence - and has done really since a shocking foul from Fabinho last season which left him injured. He’s had the occasional good game since (Newcastle hattrick) but always seems to be in the wrong place when a cross comes in, goes far...

If Newcastle appointed a replacement, while continuing to pay Ashworth’s (media reported) salary of £2.5m p.a, Newcastle could also make a legal case under the “principals of fairness” to a court that Manchester United would have to pay some or all of the salary of a replacement employee...

And it would be very long (massive court backlogs, huge amounts of discovery), hugely expensive and with no guarantee of success. And the additional risk of further costs in legal fees. A court case like this would likely take as long to be heard as the gardening leave would last anyway, with...

One other thing to add about the hypothetical (but extremely unlikely) scenario in which Ashworth sought legal remedy it would be on one of two grounds. 1. Breach of contract - argument would be made that the terms of contract relating to length of notice period were unreasonable on repudiatory...

Pretty much spot on. They absolutely can do this for the reasons given by Gandalf. The role - in UK employment law - is indeed deemed vacant.

As someone who is personally knowledgeable about such matters, most of my posts on this matter went ignored on here because they aren’t in line with your fan’s expectations of what you want. They may be factually correct and based on law and precedent, but they don’t match the decided narrative...

Indeed not, but our hits to misses ratio is pretty spectacular. I have good grounds to back my club objectively, when its operations are the envy of so many. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cw950wvn1gro.amp Short piece on our succession planning strategy. We’ve likely already identified...

Sad for yet another one of our key non-playing personnel to leave, and once again to Chelsea, but I trust my club’s operations 100%. We’ll already have the replacement lined up, and his replacement when he leaves, and the next and the next. He’s on gardening leave until November, or most likely...
