Is this a serious question?
The garden finally became pristine enough.
Obviously not. Just a wish.
This, I want to know the fee.
Sir Jim showed his D and Newcastle hawk tuah that thang

What’s Matt Hughes record like in terms of reliability? I don’t see his name on the caf tier list.
Around £2M then.
Finally. Dan Ashworth is going to be a very important appointment for the club going forwards. He’s done a great job in his previous roles but this is going to be his biggest challenge yet, I hope that he is up to it.
Unilaterally, probably not. But his appraisal of the manager will have a lot of sway with the people who can make the final decision to hire and fire managers (which I'd imagine would be Berrada and/or the board).
Yep I agree with this take. Sure it might not be the ideal team on paper and we won't be as good as City. Mainoo + Ugarte might have limitations. Dalot still doesn't have that Trent / Trippier level output. LB situation is still a bit messy but the bottom level of the team should improve quite a bit as a result.
The drama free nature cannot be understated either. All young / hungry players. Just need to get rid of Casemiro, Sancho and Greenwood and become a normal club. Hopefully getting dropped by England and Garnacho providing a kick in the back side to Rashford is good enough motivation for him to put his head down and work hard.
Glad this has been sorted within a time span that seemed unlikely throughout most of it
That doesn't even matter in this instance because the silence over the fee speaks volumes. Someone wants to save face. I don't think it's Manchester United.
Will there be a vacancy for a gardener now? I can recommend a very good one if need be.
It won't be us. We held all the cards, we would have been idiots to pay what they asked.
Yeah, this seemed like an overreach but they managed to pull it out of the bag, so kudos. You had a the anti-INEOS guys using this as a stick to beat the new ownership with. We can't complain about the leadership appointments so far (Berrada, Wilcox, Blanc, Ashworth). Lots of pedigree in there already.
Hopefully they get (or got) the big calls mostly right this summer.
It reeked of a butthurt dictator not getting his way with his plaything. No other professional club would have chosen the way they did.
Will he appoint a Head of Recruitment too?
Absolutely. Their owners are not used to being told no or not getting their own way. I'm not surprised the way they behaved.
So £9.something million then?
Seems a reasonable compromise between the £2 you offered and the 20 they asked for.

Manchester United and Newcastle United have issued the following joint statement:
“Newcastle United and Manchester United have reached an agreement for the immediate release of Dan Ashworth from his contractual obligations at Newcastle United. The terms of this agreement remain confidential between the clubs. Newcastle United thanks Dan for his services and wishes him well for the future.”

You make them sound like Julius Caesar.
Guess we're about to find out whether he's Ashworthy or Ashworthless.
That suggests to me that the fee is quite low and Newcastle don't want it to get out after all their posturing.
Probably took whatever they could get to cover themselves for the PSR deadline.

Who is going to be his work buddy? help him settle in, take him out for lunch at Pret etc.
Geordie cnuts definitely blinked first 
2.5mil I've read
Nah, it’s been reported that the fee is significantly less than £10m. My guess would be in the £4-5m range.
You'd just say that though, wouldn't you?
If you pay 5 million, you don't say "significantly less than 10 million". I mean it's accurate but a very odd thing to say.
Chelsea recently bought that bloke from Leicester for 30 mil. Nobody reported is as "significantly less than 50 million".
£9m isn't significantly less than £10m in the scheme of things though.
OK Richie Rich!
Took it tight down to the wire before arbitration day, to see who blinked first… 
£20m my arse!
£20m my arse!
