As in the ex Blackburn movie player?
They’ve turned down the compo offer so if he’s resigned, we will see the current hot phrase “gardening leave” while he sees out his notice period. Unless they accept the offer eventually.
No lawful requirement to serve a notice period, reckon he just steps down and steps in.
Sounds like quite a dispute brewing.
Looks like it's the first time he'll have had this role, was DoF for Southampton.
Academy coach, then academy head coach, then academy director at City.
Suppose precise duties and responsibilities will differ from club to club? I only know technical director from playing football manager games where they hire and fire non-playing staff if you let them, otherwise they liaise with manager/DoF/head of departments (medical, scouting, coaches, sports science, analysts etc.), making suggestions for changes if they think they're needed.

There’s a Blackburn movie?
Looks like we're pissing off everyone. I like it.
What about Fletcher?
The actually had a reporter cut into the Ipswich vs Southampton game to mention this
Our staff are going to have wonderful gardens
Eat shit Southampton
10-11 years at City
Who else was in the frame for this role? And what does it entail? And is he any good?
Never heard of him, but this is huge news. Last fourth of the season, we’re doing a title charge!
Should invite his friends Dan and Omar over for a BBQ.
If he’s got a notice period, he can’t just up and leave
So Dan Ashworth is no longer being pursued?
He helped oversee city dominate recruitment for their academy and youth teams. A good move and hopefully will be in place by the summer. So far, so good by INEOS.
Ashworth is being recruited for director of football, a completely different role.
Pretty famous player in the 90s. Won the league with Blackburn, left midfielder. Wasn't an out and dribbling or pacey winger from memory and had a good cross on him.
No idea what he's like as a non-player but looks like he's doing alright for himself I suppose.
Berrada, Ashworth and now Wilcox all pruning there hedges!
I hope United are getting an official gardening sponsor.

Like I said, can’t just up and leave. We’ve offered to pay the 12 months notice period up front. This’ll get sorted quick.
Good news that he wants to join by resigning and bit stupid of Southampton as he was going to leave so should have taken the money.
You would think he will be adept at recognising good talent from abroad in markets we have only slightly dabbled in the past. Up and coming players rather than waiting until the cost us an arm and a leg.
Will he cox it up?
What are the differences, please?
Sorry, i'm old school. Not used to all these different roles.
He will either have to serve his 12 month notice on gardening leave or they accept our offer. He can’t just join us straight away.
We’re boiling so much piss taking all these staff members
Southampton don’t really have a leg to stand on, how can they possibly demand more than a year when that’s his notice period?
