It's very good news, thought it was close when they let Murtough go.

Need Ashworth sorted as soon as, then get on with proper planning for the future.

Good news. Big job and big opportunity for him.
Ashworth is proving to be more difficult than anticipated but hopefully we can get him in for this summer too.
It's doubtful as it's a bit of a stalemate situation by all accounts.

Another step in the right direction.

Ineos have set their stall on Ashworth so I'm sure it will be done, but it would amaze me if he's in place ahead of the summer. He was involved in a lot of their planning and gardening leave is designed to protect companies from people moving to rivals with sensitive information of this sort. Beyond the summer I think that argument drops off.

I’m sure he’s sat at home resting Don, providing no feedback or input at all to Utd’s plans….

Spot on Eric. Pretty sure Ashworth will have already been chipping in and planning in the background. What else is he going to do, play Minecraft all summer?

He could be designing the new Old Trafford on Minecraft.

Could someone explain what this role involves in layman’s terms please?

{Ed002's Note - In all probability he will look after the scouting and transfers.}

You might be right Eric but that sort of thing could land him personally in a lot of legal trouble if proven. As he's not an MUFC employee he'd be very exposed, so I think that beyond giving his blessing to the signing of Wilcox and getting to know the structure of the club etc, I think it's fairly unlikely he's as involved as you imagine.

… and Real Madrid never spoke to Mbappe over the years, ever.

Yep Spenno.

When I moved from one F1 team to another I was forced to sign a non disclosure agreement for IP.

But it wasn’t worth the paper it was written on. Was I suddenly going to forget how to design the electronic systems?

Same with Ashworth. They will call him and he will “suggest” options. As long as he doesn’t do the deal, then all good.
