So Dan Ashworth has told Newcastle he want's to leave and has been placed on gardening leave.

Always felt sorry for those put on gardening leave who live in a flat!

{Ed001's Note - be worse in a hotel as you wouldn't even have pot plants to water.}

That's right Ed, no doubt they would have to manage with just the pot!

{Ed001's Note - why, is the hotel in Amsterdam?}

That's why Jose lived in hotels. Saves money on the pot plants.

I’ve had two lots of 6 month Garden Leave.

1st was mint as it lined up perfectly with Fallout 4 release.

2nd was last summer and boring so volunteered at Social Value business and picked the kids up every day.

Eric, you don't have to of signed any new deal to be suspended from work.
There is probably a clause in his contract with Newcastle that would cover this kind of situation in any event.

Utd Road lol. 6 months of Fallout 4 sounds a dream.

If this one comes off it genuinely feels like it could be Utds biggest 'signing' of the last decade, even more than any of the managers we've had. The effect of Ashworth's involvement at Brighton and then Newcastle has been nothing short of revolutionary. Admittedly the Toon cash alongside his knowledge helped, but it's probably what he was able to do at Brighton without those millions that is even more impressive. Hope Utd stump up to get him in quickly so he can begin planning for summer.
