That's part of the parcel of being a top club with stature. Remaining a top 6 club is still a massive fall from grace in the context of what United were a decade ago, I'm not really sure what's unfair about that. The incompetence is reflected in the lack of trophies and the amount of money that has been burned by bad recruitment.
FFP is hardly doing its job if that's what he thinks the purpose of it is anyway. Chelsea and City's successes were formed on being able to spend more than anyone else during their periods at the top, and Newcastle got Champions League football in the first full season they had Saudi money.
And I thought The Times had some quality control..
This is the shit I would expect from the Daily Mail or Express.

He worked extremely hard to stretch a drunk daily mail comment into 1000 words while also not saying anything substantial.Useless writer
He's not really making that point anywhere here though (or at least I can't find it)? That would be a lot better than anything he spewed there.
Siuuuuuuu
Eddie Howe in the car park tomorrow morning
Free Dan
Guessing a couple of million and starts in the summer or sooner.
Let's hope he doesn't get summoned to the embassy to hand in his request in person.
Knock knock knocking on Ashworths door
Daniel son
We drink their milkshake
I don't see any change in this report tbh
We still have to buy out his contract and pay top money to bring him in.
Dan Dan he's our man if he can't do it no one will.
Right, we'll have to go for someone else in that case.
This is the crux of the matter, we're gagging for it, he's gagging for it but the fat Geordie friend won't feck off
This is a done deal. He wouldn't have asked to leave without being assurances from INEOS.
Why?
We've publicly backed ourselves into a corner and put Ashworth in an untenable position now. We have to pull the trigger on this.
100% he's literally made his position untenable.
2026? How is that legal?
Not really? It's not that much money if INEOS view him as critical...
This will probably be finalised tomorrow or Tuesday
£20m . Let them pay him for 2 years for doing nothing if true.
. Let them pay him for 2 years for doing nothing if true.Basically saying he has a two year notice period? Yeah, don’t believe that.
Probably a ploy for Newcastle to try come out of it looking better than just rolling over in the press.
Not a chance, what a silly idea.£20m
The figure quoted is silly.
I thought slavery was banned.
They have limitless wallets, paying him for 2 years wont affect their FFP right? And he'd be on gardening leave too, so I dont know how they lose in this.£20m
Not if he's crucial to our plans going forward.
Can't it be taken to arbitration like a transfer fee?
Why is it silly? He’ll be on gardening leave during that time, are they going to tap his phone to make sure he’s not talking to us?
Gonna be operating in Peter Kenyon's garden...
They'd be paying him and they'd need a replacement. We won't be paying an unprecidented £20m directly impacting our own dire FFP position.
