He's not alone if he is getting access. I love NUFC but there's parts of it that leaves me not giving as much as a fuck as I used to. (Other than 90 mins a week). 

Aye. I think it was you who pointed out it’s always the same people who on the tv etc in relation to us. Like ahead of the derby it was some people who previously appeared in the Prime series? Like there’s some club-approved list or something

Everybody wants their moment in the fucking spotlight. Around the takeover we had people from Sky, BT, talkSport and the like asking the lads on the podcast if we wanted to go on their shows, provide content for their channels and shit. I've no doubt the same call went out to Pearson, Wraith and the rest of them.  I couldn't be less interested, but when I saw who got those spots I worried I'd made a mistake.

 

At least I could have maybe killed off a few thousand from their audience and made them think twice about asking gobshite know-nowts.

Lots of talk from Caulkin of anger from within the club at Man United's behaviour and the way Ashworth has handled himself.

 

I hope they come in to negotiations with a similar "We're Man United, guys" attitude.

 

I'm absolutely thrilled to report that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is very much adopting a "GUYS! We're Manchester United. Just hand him over." approach. I'm sure this will endear him to our lot.

 

"I won't get dragged into that, but first allow me to get dragged into that."

 

Cunt.

 

[Gemmill 50033]

There's a separate quote where he calls Newcastle suggesting that Ashworth sit on gardening leave for 1.5 years "completely stupid".

 

He seems VERY charming.

 

The really good news for him is that there's a way for him to stop it happening.

If he's a 10/10 sporting director I'm sure they'll have no trouble or qualms about paying a 10/10 compensation fee to get him on board.

[Ayatollah Hermione 14687]

His suggestion that honouring contractual clauses isn’t “how UK law works” bodes very well for his time running a football club. Mind, this is the bloke who has spent most of his time dodging tax and now wants to use public money to build a new stadium so the cunt is clearly in cloud cuckoo land. More great news

I think it was Craig on here who said he thought he might be working for the club. I scoffed at the idea tbh (this was very soon after the takeover) but if he’s not directly employed he’s definitely getting ridiculous amounts of access to the club. 
It seems to encapsulate a lot of why I give less and less of a fuck about professional football. I.e. an absolute fucking bull’s knacker getting the sort of access most followers of the club could only dream of. He’s easily as embarrassing as that Sunderland weirdo with the wooly hat  

 

The sunderland weirdo with the wooly hat is at least one generation older mind, and perhaps the club have rightly or wrongly perceived that Pearson has an attractive marketing appeal to a certain demographic  (youth and strange old blokes ) and therefore given him the ridiculous access he seems to have.

Aye, I think it’s purely from the social media perspective they are coming at this. 11 year old lads who hang out at the training ground and  Gemmill is the phrase you were looking for btw

Aye. Comparing him to players surplus to requirements at the best team in the world then arguing he should just be allowed to walk away as well. As has already been mentioned it might’ve been different if they hadn’t already tried to completely rip us off previously And on a player who isn’t exactly 10/10 and had about 5 months left on his contract. Fuck them and fuck Ashworth too

Some of the shite Pearson posts on his channel and x shoes that the club don't take much note.  He's an uber mong.

 It’s actually staggering, it was an uphill battle before given how they’ve conducted themselves but surely this makes it even fucking harder. I honestly think he will spend the whole time on leave now. 

[Holden McGroin 7639]

What a mess of statement. Pep doesn’t let his players go for free.

Tbh if his idea of recruiting executive level staff is using the media to make their current position untenable and only at that point considering an approach to the current employers then he’s as fuckin useless as the Glazers, just in a different way. Outcome the same though, a waste of a huge amount of money which could’ve been easily avoided  

[aimaad22 4691]

Aye if this is the level of his understanding of football it bodes really well for ManU.

Cunt.

 

Didn't Pep call Phillips fat and bench him for 2 years?

 

Also, we aren't "done"'with Ashworth. He's done with us. There's a difference

Just read some of his other comments too. He hardly sounds impressive, let alone having a bit of class in any way. Sounds like a bored old man who got tired of being rich and now wants to have a bit of spotlight. Here's hoping him and ManUtd drag each other down. 

 

Gives you a new appreciation of the manner our lot has conducted themselves in every way.

Sounds like he's up for giving Mason Greenwood another chance too. He just seems like an all around great bloke.

[Isegrim 10370]

They were due a Mike Ashley with no clue how football works. Maybe he wants to sign Denis Wise as an interim director of football unless Ferdy comes up with some money to buy out Ashworth.

That would be superb.  It shows his true colours.

[aimaad22 4691]

There's definitely some real car crash potential here, and Im up for it.

Thats it. I think he’s similar to Ashley in that he’s been very successful outside of football and is determined to come into the club and do it ‘his way’. Hopefully with similarly disastrous results.

[Andrew 5153]

They really are in their own little "we're man united" ego fuelled bubble aren't they? Ratcliffes statement made no fucking sense, that comparison to pep was actual nonsense  like anyone in football just lets their players wander off for free when they don't want to be at the club anymore. 

 

His very own Man United wouldn't even sack Mason Greenwood because they thought they could get a fee for him somewhere down the line the cunts.

 

"We had a very grown-up conversation with Manchester City about Omar"

Why didn't you do that with us then you dickhead? Instead you contacted Ashworth and fluttered your eyelashes at him through your media mates and now want to act all precious when we turn around and tell you that thats actually not acceptable and we'll either have our fee or you can wait.

 

Their fans keep going on about this being "small time" which makes no sense either, surely the small time thing would be for us to bend over "oh yes mr man united please, please take the technical director we hired less than two years ago, would you like anything else sir"

 

Its either that or "This is exactly what they did to brighton". No, we approached Brighton first, who gave us permission to talk to Ashworth then placed him on gardening leave until a deal was made. Which is how this should have been done. 

 

I'd started hating Man U less over the last few years, they were more of a laughing stock than anything else, but the sheer ENTITLEMENT of everyone on their side over this, pure brexit-style british exceptionalism has reminded me how much I despise that club.
