    That’s a village somewhere in England.

    What do you mean?

    It’s half way between Newcastle and Manchester. I’m sure there’s probably a decent pub that everyone can meet up at.

    <cheers>

    This is a very good point! He’s pissed on his chips now like. Hilarious if that freelance tramp thinks that £2m is all he’s worth paying for. No doubt he’s had some impact at the club but he had nothing to do with these players who have consistently performed and performed unbelievably well for us these past two seasons :-

    Joe Linton
    Lewis Miley
    Elliot Anderson
    Miguel Almiron
    Fabian Schar
    Joe Willock
    Martin Dubravka

    **** him and his plants. I suspect Stig of the Dump will start to get a bit twitchier as the end of the season approaches so it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out. I’m loving the fact we’re digging in though and not rolling over, why the **** should we? The clause is what it is, Bruno has one in his contract and they’re there for a reason. Pay it or **** off and STFU! We wouldn’t take less than £100m for Bruno and we wouldn’t even open negotiations so I don’t even know why we’re entertaining these ****ers if I’m honest….or maybe we’re not!

    Seems to me that maybe this Rich geezer at manu isn’t what he is cracked up to be.

    Does make you wonder doesn’t it.

    Is the 20m clause really there though is my question. He’s on gardening leave for 18 months I believe so I don’t believe he is earning 20m over 18 months.

    Is it merely we are just asking for 20m being Ashworth takes intellectual property with him.

    £20m is a lot of money for a little black book that’s for sure. I often wonder what Man Utd fans think of Ashworth and whether they’re actually that arsed about having him. Maybe Stig of The Dump is trying to convince the government to pay the release clause as well as building the new “Wembley of the North” for them. It’s ****ing hilarious how long this is being drawn out though and I’m loving it! I mean bitching about it on National TV after you’ve just completed the London marathon man, what the **** is that even about? Think he needs to sort out a new manager first and foremost and getting rid of some of the dross they have on their books.

    Just a weird situation isn’t it. The bitching at the end of the London marathon though. Of all the people to be interviewed why him. And why say what he did.

    Almost seems premeditated.

    Ashworth is going to take NUFC to arbitration to try and push through his move to Man Utd, according to Ornstein. The suggestion is that he'll soon be free to move there for peanuts, in time for the summer transfer window.

    Surely we paid more to get him than Man U are offering so even a tribunal can see that. I’m sure he’ll have signed a contract too

    They've handled it perfectly. Couldn't have handled it any better.

    1. I don't think Club won't be obliged to go to arbitration - they have no reason to.
    2. They can sue him for breach of contract.
    3. He might get out of contract but could be forced to walk away from football till his contract is up.
    4. Club can quite easily say they will lose more than £20m in player valuations as that's what's been said from Man Utd side.

    I’m
    Not sure what else we could have done. He holds vital intellectual information as to what our plans are etc.

    He shafted us. So we shafted him.

    He’s probably already telling them everything anyways and thus the only thing they can do is stop him from working.

    He’s getting paid so he’s not out of pocket and he signed a contract. Which they must be leveraging a clause in the contract.

    If they are then it must be water tight.

    clauses are common in contracts citing a third party arbitrator to sort out any differences. Of the contract has express clauses though on buy out payments if he gets poached whilst under contract arbitrators would always refer back to the contract.
