Manchester United spent longer waiting to get Ashworth out of Newcastle than he actually spent in the role at Old Trafford. Mad.

Reposted from The Athletic | Football

Dan Ashworth has left his role as Manchester United sporting director after just five months.

Is it so very wrong for him to just love his garden?😀

buryfan20.bsky.social•91 days ago

🤣🤣🤣 it's unbelievable how badly run that place is. I actually feel sorry for united fans?!

kubalalfc.bsky.social•91 days ago

Ineos continuing the Glazer’s tradition.

No word on yesterday’s game? Palace should’ve won that tbh

geordierob.bsky.social•91 days ago

Outstanding news to wake up to today I can’t lie, hope the snake struggles to get another job 👌

temporary123.bsky.social•91 days ago

Football is weird. The guy is doing an executive job, quit one and took another. To elicit response like that you must have really loved him once...

geordierob.bsky.social•91 days ago

Without a doubt he came here full of promises about being here long term and building for the future only to piss off the minute another club came calling, same thing he done to Brighton tbf. The main reason for not liking him tho is him leaking club info to Man Utd while he was still here.

“ten Hag, Zirkzee and you wanted Southgate? Come with me, Dan…”

👇 🤣

footballscout.bsky.social•91 days ago

He has opened his garden to the public.

blocksixgooner.bsky.social•91 days ago

United fans spent years protesting to have somebody else in charge other than the Glazers and they've possibly found the only guy who's worse

lufcmot.bsky.social•91 days ago

😂😂😂

tedand.bsky.social•91 days ago

Difficult to judge him on 5 months work so something must’ve kicked off. Either way it feels very rash.

sfjlobe8.bsky.social•91 days ago

I was wondering about this. Thanks for confirming.

outoftoon.bsky.social•91 days ago

He’ll have the best kept garden in the country 🤣

Comedy club! 🤣

fatweightlifter.bsky.social•91 days ago

Wonder why he left

vinnie1979.bsky.social•91 days ago

Rotten to the core

dixigot60.bsky.social•91 days ago

A broken club imo

mark-adams.bsky.social•91 days ago

Banter FC

mark16.bsky.social•91 days ago

Joke club. That's it. That's the message

darrenablake.bsky.social•91 days ago

Shocker

kingkenny86.bsky.social•91 days ago

Clearly failed his probation period and he gets no statutory redundancy not a great day before Christmas in the Ashworth household. Be back on LinkedIn by tomorrow

sb808.bsky.social•91 days ago

If they paid around £2m for him, that’s their ticket increase money spent well.

rob987.bsky.social•91 days ago

More like 5x that. And what will he be getting as a payoff. What will they have to pay for his replacement. But, laying off staff around the club is the solution obviously.

felixrc.bsky.social•91 days ago

Voted to keep Ten Hag, overpaid for Zirkzee, Ugarte… happy to see the back of him tbh

footfishbike.bsky.social•91 days ago

Bonkers. All is not well upstairs at Utd.

temporary123.bsky.social•91 days ago

Or downstairs tbf

broomwagon.bsky.social•91 days ago

Maybe Newcastle did an agreement where he could leave early and in return he could only take his rubbish ideas with him.

pete11.bsky.social•91 days ago

Cannot blame issues on the previous regime as this is the current regime's man. Something is not right within the club. Finance and football often tread on each others toes - feels like a case in point. Confused direction?

bigchrisfgb.bsky.social•91 days ago

£10m they paid though, thank you very much

cm9798muck.bsky.social•91 days ago

This is so funny

stairwelljam.bsky.social•91 days ago

The saving grace of course is that this has hurt Newcastle but what a circus

marknicols.bsky.social•91 days ago

How?

stairwelljam.bsky.social•91 days ago

They lost their Director of Football which one would assume has impacted their plans

marknicols.bsky.social•91 days ago

Not at all, we appointed Mitchell quickly and took the payout from Man Utd. Only thing hampering Newcastle is the psr rules implemented and voted on by tje so called big clubs panicking they’d lose their place at the trough.

dijond.bsky.social•91 days ago

Incorrect.

We moved on fairly quickly once the ordeal was over.

stairwelljam.bsky.social•91 days ago

This is horrible news. What a waste of time and money then! Another Ratcliffe classic.

stebfield.bsky.social•91 days ago

He seems one of those people who can bamboozle and impress non football people in charge of clubs but seems out of his depth when he gets there. Steve mclaren was the managerial equivalent

contentcentral.bsky.social•91 days ago

But but but… “raise ticket prices!” INEOS said. When they’ve just dropped what must be £25m to sack the man they twerked over for 5 months

benmll.bsky.social•91 days ago

It was £3 million, but yes point still stands

bigchrisfgb.bsky.social•91 days ago

£10m according to todays reports, haha

contentcentral.bsky.social•91 days ago

Yes but if he’s sacked, he will have been paid out
