Reminds me of an episode of a crime series I watch from the US deep south: "Y'all don't got nufin on nobody"
Probably the only one of the ‘big’ clubs more mockworthy than us at the moment.
So… looks like ETH wasn’t that shit after all? And their squad is proper shit and would make any manager look like a pub one? 
Surpised to see Eriksen and Casemiro were unused subs.
I had a look at some of the wages the players are on! Would be enough to give levy nightmares!So… looks like ETH wasn’t that shit after all? And their squad is proper shit and would make any manager look like a pub one?
I’ve followed Amorim for a while now, and I honestly think he’s a very very good manager. I wanted him to come here when we then went on to appoint Ange.
I think though he’s realising now what a state United are in, and it is a horrific one. I think this is the furthest United have been from being Man United now, they’ve completely lost that fear factor and have turned into a pay cheque club.
I think he can turn it round for them but I think they’re looking at a good four or five seasons, and will they give him that long? Who knows. He’s going to need a lot of transfer windows though, and I think the only positive for him will be that United will spend money. Though you have to wonder how much is available for him with Radcliffe and his cost cutting plus the need to patch up the stadium.

NNewcastle must be pissing themselves
Not surprised. He's overpaid on some average players that havent improved the team.
This is fun
"This is like chasing a girl for months, only to bin her off because she farted in front of you."This is fun
Newcastle must be laughing
Dan Ashworth - "Right Sir Jim. We need an entire squad of new players."
Sir Jim - "You're sacked!"
The rumour mill says that Amorim wanted control over transfers and they went with him over Ashworth.
Because that has worked so well for United post Ferguson...

Newcastle fans pissing themselves
Gardening leave longer than his time at Utd?
"Ashworth was a key target for the new regime under minority owner Ratcliffe and paid Newcastle a seven-figure compensation fee to secure his services...The former Football Association technical director was given the remit to oversee performance and recruitment at United but saw through only one transfer window where £200m was spent on a number of signings...Ashworth had reservations about switching to new head coach Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 formation as wanted a consistent style, regardless of whom was in the dugout, to aid with long-term recruitment strategy."

No he was very shit, exceptionally shit. Arrogant and deluded and them not sacking him as soon as they got through the door is why this season has been written off already.So… looks like ETH wasn’t that shit after all? And their squad is proper shit and would make any manager look like a pub one?
This has to be the end of Ashworth's career right?
Like, given how quick he is to either jump ship or get fired wherever he goes that isn't the FA. Who else would actually have faith in him?
