A bit more then. So 5m then to buy it out, or doesn’t it work like that? I’m assuming not otherwise we’d have done it by now.
Dan Ashworth - Newcastle DoF currently tending to his garden
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
It's Delaney, it's always safe to assume that he knows feck all.Isn't Berrada on 'gardening leave'
Is he allowed to be saying such things
But surely when they were negotiating he could say what type of appointment he prefers for roles he is going to be working with.
What’s going to be more hilarious is that after losing Ashworth to us, and attempting to charge a daft fee, whoever they choose to recruit next will come with a fee in excess of that. Their own small time mentality will bite them here. Sometimes you just have to take the loss and move on.
Who said no say. I said he was not his pick
I don’t think he was planning to invite Eddie Howe and the Saudis to the BBQ
Of course not saying they wouldnt have checked but suggestion he is a Berrada hire/pick is far fetched
Yeah but he's a highly rated sporting director whom they've only just hired. Plus they see us as direct rivals now.
In a way they can use in court? I doubt it.
I quoted the wrong post shut it
He's going to be able to give Ground Force a run for their money.
Nothing will be credited to Berrada until gardening leave is over
Maybe we should send him to sort out the gardens of prospective purchases.
He's got two year so plenty of time to get those Brazilian wonderkids on side.
Honestly, I hope we fork up the money and bring him in asap. Would be our best signing in years. Loving all the changes to our set-up.
Agree but that is besides the point. Ashworth is not his pick regardless
If it’s only a year that gives United plenty of leverage to negotiate the figure down. As of the summer, that’s 6 months left so £10m becomes £5m. Only the club decide that we are happy to wait until February for the sake of a few more months. Or they could take a few million now and not be paying him £3.5m for the next year and be 6m-£7m better off.
Gardening Leave is a nonsense. Nobody ever observes it. It’s a technical issue, and is a pain more than an absolute hindrance.
I'm sure he's worth it, but people tend to be salty when they give someone a big role and he leaves after a year.
How did they approach him when he was at Brighton? Shoulder bump in the produce aisle followed by "I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else...but since we are here"?
But we don’t know? And we’ll never know.
same way this Jewell fella and the Ex Brighton man at Chelsea seems to be Dans pick to work alongside him and the club seem to be waiting to sort this mess out with Newcastle before we approach them for the same legal reason.
You clearly have more faith in our system than me
Yeah can see a battle between Utd and Newcastle journos. So I am thinking Whitwell v Hope, Ducker v Edwards and Luckhurst v Wilson
I think the lengthly gardening leave/non competitive clause only applied when his next employer is a football club. It could be circulate by hiring him by INEOS sport first and then release him on the mark of of the expiry of non cmpetitive clause.
I really don’t think that would hold up. Otherwise a club could just set up a shell company and “employ” someone through that. He’ll join when the compensation is agreed between the parties. End of story.
I love Caprisun.
Truthfully it tastes like piss.
this is just daft
He should stay away from embassies
Under such circumstances ineos can pay the release without affecting ffp
All of this will be covered in a very long, very dour contract of employment.
Which has a release clause. Newcastle wants their pound of flesh. They need it to save face + for FFP reasons. They can't be arsed who'll pay it in the end.
My point about not being in a better position was the glazers still own most of the club, the debt is still there and needs servicing.Make your mind up
so whilst I’m applauding the new set up, it’s hard to still look past who owns the club and the massive debt hanging over us - and yes, I fully appreciate companies have debt and sometimes it can be good to have a bit of debt for tax
so until sir J owns a majority stake in the club and the debt because less of a burden, it might be we’re just painting over the cracks still
Probably been answered before, but seeing as I'm not British, where does the term "gardening leave" originate from? Love the expression.
The whole thing is just absurd that no one would pay hefty "Transfer fee" to get an football administrator before.
From the word 'gardening' and 'leave'.
All this time off would be perfect for him to plan our summer transfers.
We do know by what has previously been reported and the fact Ashworth and Brailsford are friends
It means he’s growing his pubes out
Large compensations are sometimes paid for managers who are still under contract, for example Potter and Nagelsmann in the past went for big fees and even Sporting paid 10M for Ruben Amorim.
Some could argue a DoF is just as important as the first team head coach, maybe even more so. They probably won't get £20M but they absolutely have a right to demand a sizeable compensation for such a vital piece in the machine, especially when the club doing the poaching is a direct competitor.
I don’t know but I’d imagine it’s rather self explanatory. Your current company doesn’t want you to take secrets or tap up existing lines of business, so rather than serve a regular notice period you are immediately sent home on leave. Still being paid by the company but at home & not required to do any work, thus time to do some gardening.
