The notion go 'tapping up' needs to be permanently thrown away. He's not a player, he's employed in a corporate role and in any normal job, it's up to the individual to have a conversation with an alternative employer in his own time if he wants to.

Oh, you're right. Legally MUFC might be fine. But both Berrada and Ashworth are maybe in breach of their respective contracts and thus breaching at least civil law. And maybe, possibly - and absolutely against the common sense of MUFC supporters - a court might decide that, actually, MUFC is not above the law. And sentence both to pay fines and place a - say - five year ban on them to seek/ accept employment in English football. Pogba them. And yes, I seriously doubt that Newcastle or City will press such charges. But it should be done. Just like Stramer should have replied to Ratcliffe (about tax payer money for a new Old Trafford): "Where again do you produce those INEOS cars? In France? Up yours!"

How do you acquire personnel without "tapping up" ...how else would you do it?

So detailed

Thanks for the good explainer. Keep up the great work. For everyone's sake, this needs to be resolved ASAP. Newcastle won't want this dragging on into June either, as it'll impact their summer as much as United's as far as transfer dealings are concerned. They'll need to go sign his replacement, and can't do that whilst he's still an employee. Am just hoping Blanc and Berrada can make a start on the outgoings.

​@@n9ne_nufc lol technically this isn't even a United problem all it proves is that two people who as of yet are loosely linked to the club tapped each other up about a potential job at United which officially is yet to be started and technically their contracts have not even started. So Newcastle would just be messing with an employee of theirs for an email he sent to an employee of Manchester City about a job at United which could easily wash their hands off it and go elsewhere or let Newcastle argue Semantics but it still remains said employee has another job lined up after being placed on Gardening leave prematurely. At the end of the day I feel Newcastle would have to compromise or settlement for less the courts I do not think can force United to do anything. And whether or not Newcastle as a football club is richer than United is not even a debate. You have richer owners but you're not richer than United. And if it comes down to an endless litigation both parties are rich enough to just keep it going forever.

After City, Ten Hag was first up the podium. Having shook the hand of Price William and wee George. The next was Jim Radcliffe, who purposely turned to Alex Ferguson and totally 'Blanked' Ten. It was blatantly obvious and damn rude. He even hugged all the other players that followed. I have no idea what's happening, but a few of my United friends saw it and pointed out that it was edited out on Match of the Day. Today, he thanked all the players and the backroom staff whilst ignoring Ten Hag's achievements, just no mention. It seems strange; it really put me off, big Jim; but I sincerely hope that he's a better man than that!

Newcastle paid 72% of the remaining of Dan’s Brighton contract which was the lower figure, Brighton requested 135% of the contract. Manchester United are suggesting to pay just 14% of the remaining of the contract. Manchester United do not like doing business with Newcastle and just acting like a bully because historically they have been a bigger and more successful club. I don’t see Manchester United finishing above Newcastle for a long time the way they are being run. Hopefully Newcastle get around £5m to £10m which would be fair for both clubs.

If mancity want to take him to court, they can't but normally they won't. But Newcastle can register a complaint to the premier league

He hasn’t been sacked. He’s been placed on gardening leave, still being paid by the club until the expiry of his contract. If Man United want him they’ll have to pay the release clause. Quite simple. Once the tapping up case is heard it won’t matter anyways.

I hope this doesn't end up like the Sancho pursuit and Dan Ashworth sweats excessively and can't beat a man.

If Berrada was still on gardening leave with City when the conversation took place, he was not employed by United so I am sure United will be able to get away with it. Agreeing to take a job without actually signing a contract means there is nothing illegal going on. The fact he was a City employee at the time, let's just add it to their 115 charges.

Ashworth will know all the transfer targets for Newcastle for this summer. There will be positions that both clubs need to recruit for and it’s bad for Newcastle if ManU knows Newcastles hit list.

Honestly as a Newcastle fan, yes it was unreal to get him. But he’s not a good guy. Not a guy to have at your club.

Not a great start to life under Ineos. Hopefully Ashworth has some dirt on Newcastle and we can use it to get him out of there. But it worries me how murky it all is. I'm really not sure about this Berrada character, why the hell did we take him from a club whose facing 115 chatges of financial breaches? Surely he is involved in that and could face a ban in the future.

❤ we don't care we want ashworth when man united call you have to come

How about you actually pay the compensation fee using the Glazer's dividends, if that was ever a thing...

What’s with the 2mm close-up? 😂😂😂

To me it seems like he did inform Newcastle of the approach by UTD, then he was Sacked before the deal was formally agreed with Asheorth & Utd .Should not be a problem By the court , starts employment straight away !

Drop Ashworth like a bad habit !! He’s not the only qualified person for this position. MANY would love the opportunity to work at rebuilding MU. United do NOT need this kind of a messy situation at the beginning of the rebuild. DROP THIS GUY !!!

Good watch but its absolutely clutching at straws with the Ashworth was sacked and gardening leave would be null and void thing, the guy still gets paid so hes still an employee, its a mess of Man Uniteds own making so bottom line if they want the guy simply pay the money

Ashworth works for Newcastle United, to release him, the cost is whatever they want it to be, whether you like the cost or not, there’s a contract in place. The fee needs paid or walk away, Man Utd cannot just want a coach (ashworth) and expect Newcastle United to lower the price for him, come on !

How can he be "sacked" when he is still an employee and is being paid in full? If company secrets are at risk, they can remove him from his privileged position until the matter is resolved. hence gardening leave. also he will be in breach of contract and NDA's.

Is Ashworth the only best in class sporting director in the world. Instead of being drawn into a saga, UTD should have moved onto other targets and have a DOF/SD already in place.

Newcastle continued to pay his wages so he wasn't sacked. He was placed on garden leave because he was occupying a role that allowed him to identify and meet with potential targets for Newcastle United whilst also being aware of our long-term plans, at the same time he declared his interest in doing the exact same role for Manchester United. Hard to accept I know but the two clubs are competing on a similar level ATM, finishing one place above each other in the last two seasons. So no Newcastle didn't want him in and around the club

I thought Jason Wilcox was the director of football.. Apparently, football is so complicated that a director of football also needs another director to direct himself to the correct path.

Wilcox is the technical director. It is a different role to the sporting director. Wilcox will be more focused on how all the teams play and how the coaches teach them to play. Sporting director oversees everything to do with football, including recruitment.

I thought for one to be placed on gardening leave they have to hand in a resignation letter first? He could be fined for disclosing info on the Brighton Newcastle deal but then he hadn’t handed in a resignation letter before the gardening. One word, greed from Newcastle. 20m for a sporting director 😂😂😂😂

It’s not so strange that this is being played out in public. Journalists/Media getting hold of a negative Man Utd story must make some of them froth at the mouth. Negative United press sells! It is naive from Ashworth and maybe even clumsy from Berrada. It would be nice to get an end to this seemingly neverending drama. The off-the-pitch version of De Jong saga. It would be the final piece of the jigsaw.

This "story" has been deliberately leaked from Utd so that Newcastle end up with £0. Nothing negative about it for Utd in any way

if he was placed on gardening leave too soon, Ashworth would have a case for unfair dismissal and compensation i would think. Newcastle cold end up paying Ashworth to leave, now that would be funny.

Let's move on and go for another option, every united business ends up being a public affairs, tired this bs

There is nothing Man Utd can do about that. Every club will try their luck for money.

It's a mess not to mention the indecision over Ten Hag.

Made it look like you got an interview with him. Clickbait.

He hasn't got a leg to stand on, no way newcastle have done anything wrong here.

Man Utd & Ashworths arbitration case is about as watertight as the Old Trafford roof. This is all beyond hilarious!

"Can't tap up players any more"... do me favour and don't make me laugh. It happens all the time. Many transfers these days are conducted between the buying and selling club, with the buying club already having established that the player would be happy to join on the basis of a broad contract proposal.

Ashworth will rot for 2 years. When you sign a 3 year contract you don't go sniding off to other clubs. Man U will get penalised for tapping him up.

Why do you think everything related to Manchester United gets exposed and scrutinized left right and center.

How can he be sacked if hes still on payroll and getting paid by the club still?
