Legally Ashworth (ie United) could buy out his notice period if they wanted to.

Reading the twitter / X reaction to all this is amusingly predictable.

Most corporate high flyers
eek say similar usually because they want to dodge the negative outcomes of their build it quick, no foundations , new enterprise .It worked at Brighton because it was essentially a blank sheet with a clued up owner who had a proper vision .

Fans of other teams are starting to realise it's more than simply the individual.
We've signed one of the most exciting forwards in the league without Ashworth and have just signed one of the most highly rated young players in world football.
The only person we need to worry about leaving is Bloom.

If you are referring to Pedro Newcastle came very close to signing him and then thankfully for us Isak came available.

Aye but that also highlights another major factor. When it comes to signing players there's a hell of a lot out there.
Winstanley definitely took his list with him to Chelsea- Fofana etc, and I'm sure Ashworth did the same. But we have the nous, data and leadership to be able to move to different targets and different markets (see English youngsters this window) very quickly.

Having said that, Ratcliffe feels far more Bloom than Boehly. I expect them to be back to being a real force in a couple of seasons. Ashworth isn't the messiah, he needs good people around him as much as anyone, but it feels like Ratcliffe is the sort of guy to realise that and get it right.
Agreed. I think going after Ashworth shows that he has realised the problems there run deeper than just changing the manager every 2 years and hoping it solves the problem.

Wouldn’t Newcastle have to agree to this though?
If Newcastle want to dig their heels in they could put him on garden leave for the period of his notice period.
However, I’d think they’d prefer to accept a lump sum as compensation and move on?

The data itself isn’t unique to us. Everyone has access to similar data. It’s how we interpret and analyse that data that is important.I wouldn't be surprised if Ashworth didn't have a look at Lee Dykes at Brentford after all they've been using that same performance metrics that we have, haven't they
Not sure how they got hold of them though!!
Benham coming from a similar background to Bloom, and having previously worked with him probably has similar ideas hence Brentford using their own data analysis systems.

This is the ultimate truth.
Reading is a prime example of what can happen to a football club if they lose a chairman who cares, for a chairman who doesn't.
It's particularly vital for us, because Bloom is f***ing good at his role as chairman. If Chelsea could sign Bloom, they would.

I read that today and thought how deliciously ironic it was. They didn't give a crap about that when they went for him when he was at the Albion, only difference being we had the nous to put him on gardening leave for a bit to make sure whatever knowledge he took with him wasn't particularly damaging to the Albion in the short term.
