They'll end up taking him to court if we start chasing their targets.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Lawyer: "Your honour - he was supposed to be on gardening leave but he was sharing our top secret transfer targets with them!"
Judge: "Really? That's terrible - what unknown South American gem did he tell them about?"
Lawyer: "errr, no it was Tosin Adarabioyo"
Judge: "You mean the lad who has played 25 times for Premier League side Fulham this year and is available on a free?"
Lawyer: "Yes that's him"
Judge: "Feck off."

The plausible deniability is there with Wilcox as the Technical Director, he will have known Tosin coming up at City and will still have a relationship with him.
Good, feck Kenyon
You are seriously overthinking this We could bring in Newcastle's most obscure targets whom nobody had even heard of and Still Newcastle would have hard time to make any case against Ashworth which won't be thrown out at first instance .
I'm almost 22,000 posts deep on an internet forum about Football. Yes, I am absolutely overthinking it.
His recent IG post suggests he would prefer us over anyone else.
Makes sense anyway if he's as good as he's rated to be but makes more sense with Varane leaving.
Never heard of him
Sounds like one of the fake names they give to players they have no licence for in football games
Anyone watch Fulham can tell us is he good?
He’s having a really good season.
It's clever business. We need to build a squad with the right age profile whilst being savvy with how much we spend bringing them in. Varane is leaving and its likely Lindelof, and potentially even Maguire will leave, so two centre backs will be necessary.
It would be wise to see us look to do something similar across the pitch.

Hmm, I imagine he knows him from his time at the City academy. I hope he is good enough and we're not just going down another "sign who we know well" route.
From what I've seen he can pass, good head but switches off at times but is young and has potential, I don't think top tier potential but could be a decent squad option for free
Martinez and Lindelof are injury prone. Varane is leaving. Maguire may also leave. We may need to sign a few CBs. It will be good to have him as squad option with Kwambala. But I think we need to sign 1 more top CBs next season and hope one of them youngsters develop to be good CB next year.
Agree with all of that, I like the look of Yoro or if we have the budget I would go for Scalvini, Silva etc but I don't see it with Branthwaite relative to his price.
He's 26, had a good season for Fulham and would be free. Makes a lot of sense to be in for him.
I'm hoping they'll get Ryan Goggs
I can't say I know too much about him, so I hope so. I actually remember watching him in an FA cup game for City and thought he was pretty good, so was surprised they let him go.
This is what Carl Anka was talking about the other week then
Sign me up
It's been mentioned long before Carl Anka said anything about it.
Can’t see Maguire leaving. He’s been our best CB this year when fit.
Ashworths price just went up!
Well he was being all coy and refusing to name the player. I couldn't be arsed searching up the players out contract who fit the description. I'm not claiming he's had the scoop of century or anything like that.
How odd that he didn't just state the player's name. It's been widely reported.
That's not saying a lot and he doesn't suit anything other than a low-block.
We've been trying to get of him for a while. He'll be gone if makes sense from an FFP perspective.
We can. Pep would NEVER work under anyone who tells him who and what to pick come match day. He worked under Berrada and Wilcox just fine
But Southgate loves him.
I agree, I worry we'll throw a huge amount of money at the next English defensive talent who may yet turn out to be a bit meh. Clearly massive potential but we can't afford more costly transfer mistakes.
Yeah definitely need to start utilising the continental market instead of paying English premium. Hopefully having a proper structure will mean we start doing that but remains to be seen
