Really great news. Wilcox, Ashworth and Berrada all in by mid-July. Important for the start of the project running smoothly.

Yesssssssssssss
Seems we were waiting for July for this
Finally. Lets hope we can see some differences in this summer's window with him and Wilcox in place.
Starting immediately, fantastic news.

A lot to do for both Ashworth & Wilcox, hopefully they put a good plan together to revamp and improve the club's recruitment process and move away from manager led signings.

Welcome to the big league
You just know Henry Winter is right this second masturbating furiously about the mere idea of the sort of laptop Dan Ashworth possesses.
We were playing poker with Newcastle and they blinked first. Seems like they were desperate for money the last few days.
Taking the phrase “stroking the keys” a bit differently than intended.
"United TOP EXEC caught red handed using a LENOVO IDEAPAD ! - Just how far have Britain's most successful club fallen?"
No fee disclosed yet? Protecting one of the clubs maybe
Sounds to me as if Newcastle gave in and took whatever they needed to fill their gap in PSR. Not at all the positive spin I was expecting from their side especially considering he can start straight away.
Finally! fecking he'll, I'm genuinely surprised it got sorted out already now 
Might be September before we find out officially at our end but have no doubt the figure will become known before them through the usual channels. Im reading that Newcastle tweet as a negative for them so cant imagine it was the full amount they wanted.
Best signing of the summer. Full speed ahead.
It absolutely won't be the full amount they wanted or the far smaller amount you wanted to pay.
Whatever the compromised figure is, both sets of fans will spin it as a "win" for their side.
The barcodes absolutely frothing at the mouth. Manure this, tapping up that.
Bloody idiots.
Bloody idiots.
Guaranteed, people just need to accept it and move on.
It definitely wouldn't be the full amount as it was negotiated before arbitration. We/Ashworth would've just gone through with it rather than pay full amount.
Hopefully a sizeable drop off from their ridiculous demands.

Will be interesting to see if there's a shift in our transfer approach, or whether there's truth to the De Ligt, Zirkzee, Branthwaite links.
Glad this one's over though - get to work Dan!

You’d think so. Having to balance the books had to have given us a strong bargaining position. Especially with the knowledge that arbitration was unlikely to award anywhere close to £15 million considering the precedent it would set.
Considering the gusto he previously reported on this with, your can tell it pains him to write that tweet
Why would there be a shift away from the links to De Ligt, Zirkzee, Branthwaite?
He's a knob.

In case he has a list of targets he prefers for the club. Technically he's not been working for us yet so would have had no say on who we should be in for

I think its highly unlikely that he wouldn't of had input into these targets or at the very least given his blessing.
I think they will absolutely lose their shit if it's like £5 million or less

£5 million plus a photo opp with the 96/97 league trophy
Say what you like about PSR but it makes extra drama, almost like a second deadline day

Luke Edwards and other Newcastle journalists not reporting few means it's might be small fee. Edwards and others don't miss a chance to gloat about bigger fee or to praise Newcastle.

Oh I’m stealing this to use on my Newcastle mate.Finally!
I assume he's aware and on-board with our pursuit of the likes of Zirkzee, De Ligt and Branthwaite?
I hope he somehow wasn't, and that he bins those targets as soon as he comes in.

According to the Newcastle fans it's the other way around
