In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) get the depressing job of reviewing United's 3-0 loss at Old Trafford to Liverpool. They discuss what went wrong, Casemiro's day to forget, and the pressure now on Erik Ten Hag. They also take some time to give McTominay a proper farewell, and give their overall thoughts on the Summer Transfer Window.
Haven’t seen one tweet with any other source than this ”Communicator”.
Yeah, doesn't bring back good memories!
And always will be the case. Agents will talk to get the best deal for their player or manager. No agents really for admin staff, just lawyers/accountants someone like Ashworth would have.
According to Wikipedia he’s our sporting director and not our director of football. Who’s gonna be our DoF then?
Unless we develop a basketball team over the summer, surely Sporting Director is the same as Director of Football in this context?
I will never understand why people/media are using "sporting director" outside of Germany.
Apparently not. Wikipedia says that the director of football (football director) position is vacant.
I think you’re getting mixed up with Sporting Director and Technical Director.
To be fair, Wikipedia knows about as much of what positions are vacant at Manchester United as my wife does.
According to wikipedia they count the screen sport super cup as one of Liverpools trophies, a trophy that was made to honour the victims of heysel!
Yh i agree with that i feel like hating united has become almost like a cultural norm, like its cool to hate on us and post jokes about us.
Its a fact. You have a certain amount you can spend. He spent more than that now 2 years into getting them into trouble with FFP he gets to abandon them and do it here
They are effectively the same thing, with different clubs giving different titles to the same position. Then just to confuse it more, some clubs give that position the title of Technical Director, while at other clubs Technical Director is a different position that sometimes works underneath the DoF or Sporting Director (which is what we now have with Wilcox being our Technical Director working underneath Ashworth).
"Blacklisting" agents with the talent pool of clients he has is a sure way of missing out on potentially class players in an ever increasingly competitive market
Looks a bit like Newcastle folded at the last minute because they needed the money before end 30th June for PSR compliance and thus a deal was struck.
It was always going to end with a settlement as that was the best outcome for all parties involved.
The Premier League website posted an article about Sporting Directors/Directors of Football today. Will link to it later if someone doesn't do it first.
It's weird that no one reports on money. Last time it was some where from 1 to 15m
He created that "trouble" for this exact situation where he'd exploit it to jump ship. 4D chess
But whos saying this is the final move? Could do the same here and move to rivals.Jokes aside the Newcastle business where they havent made great strides despite overspending in his 2 years there is what we'll likely be in for. It wont be anything new for us to overspend and not perform but obviously with new blood coming in you'd hope it wouldnt be more of the same. His work over the last couple of years is very similar to what we've already been doing.
Didn't the statements say they were keeping the price confidential?
Doesn't suit either to release what it was - just glad it's with immediate effect and the only thing to really wait for now is the recruitment and scouting department to be improved
Glad to see that.
I use to have a friend who supported Man Utd for decades. But after Ronaldo being wiped out in 2022, he turned himself into a Newcastle fans. What a fence sitting idiot! I hope they will never win anything in his lifetime!!Wasn't part of the reason he wanted to move because Eddie Howe was maringalising his influence on recruitment?
Seen people say it's around 6m.
According to Matt Hughes of the Current Bun we paid significantly less then 10m after Newcastle originally wanted 10m.
INEOS played a blinder in that one if it’s to be believed that the compensation fee was much lower than £10m. Peak bluff calling.
Thats what happens when you have competent people in charge. Unlike most of the former idiots or the resident Caf drama queens
I’m sure Eddie Howe also brought his brother in to play a major part in the recruitment which hindered Ashworth and apparently created a tense working atmosphere.
Everything I’ve read is £5-£6 million and obviously Ratcliffe and his team knew that come June 30th Newcastle would have to do a deal or fail PSR and not be able to bring in an Ashworth replacement.
Pretty sure his role is above him

Ashworth on his proposed role at Newcastle. Note - they lied to him and didn't provide him with the right tools& power to make the decisions.

Target = Adam Wharton. Why? Because United want and need a controlling and ballplaying nr.6. A balance and controlling nr.6. That dictate, controlling and spread the ball around. Dictate the tempo and speed of the ball and passing.
Adam Wharton as nr.6 is what United and Ten Hag need to play proactive football. 433 total football.
Adam Wharton is Newcastle nr6 = Bruno and Xhaka nr.6 for Leverkusen and Switzerland. A controlling playmaker nr.6/CDM
Line up with Adam Wharton in a 433/451 formation :
RWNico Williams? - Bruno/8/RCM - Wharton/CDM/6 - Mainoo/LCM/8 - Rashford + Højlund.
There you have. A bit uncertain about RW. Garnacho was playing there, but United can level up from Garnacho. Get a better RW. But his 6 is combo is really good and has a really high level. On theirs best day together.
Adam Wharton is a intelligence player. He scans the pitch really good.
I think and believe Adam Wharton will be a key and important factor to United success in the future. A controlling CM/nr.6 like Wharton is really raw.
Like Gordon to Newcastle. Wharton is really ahtlete and run/cover a lot of area. I can see Wharton in that Gordon profile and type of player.
The physic and ball skill level are really high. Beside a consistent mentality like Gordon. Wharton reallly click many buttons.
Adam Wharton is a must for United. Age 20, the physic, ball skill and mentality = all top notch = a must buy for United this summer.

This reads like a ChatGPT output.
In the wrong thread too. The machine is broken.
that poster is Dan Ashworth himself I think, he has been known to post emails in the wrong place !
Can someone translate to English?
Funny how we seem to be in for all of Dan Ashworths wanted signings despite him being on gardening leave all summer...
But majority of the posters on here are absolutely convinced that all our targets are led by ETH again?
Does someone have a watertight source for how much we actually paid for ashworth?
