Presumably secretly conversing with a rival employer behind your current employer's back, prior to informing your current employer, then expressing a desire to take a job with said rival, prior to availing your current employer of the opportunity to protect their own interests and sensitive information is grounds to be placed on gardening leave. Well perhaps. I mean, really, its a maybe because, of course, I'm no expert on how contracts work, like Ashworth. The release of yesterday's story spells out the timeline perfectly (with some added dishonesty and rule breaking/avoidance thrown in for good measure). It is 100% timed to torpedo this completely ridiculous defence by Ashworth/ManU. And it's a wonderful lesson in how to use the media to your advantage. We've established the club acted in its best interests to protect sensitive information by placing Ashworth on gardening leave. Clearly his "secret" emails have shown that we had an almost prescient level of awareness, almost like we could somehow see the future (or one idiot's email account). On the other hand, I'm guessing Ashworth only learned that the club knew about his secret dealings with ManU yesterday*, unfortunately, for him & ManU, that would be after he'd already submitted his argument laying the groundwork for his arbitration case. So now he's married to an argument that is demonstrably false. And, moreover and best of all, its false in the best sense that the club only has need to utilise Ashworth's own words to demonstrate the argument for placing him on gardening leave. Your move, Ratcliffe. Edit: *Just saw the next story from Hope. So Ashworth did know that the club knew about his secret email? Or did he actually think he'd successfully deleted it and covered his tracks? Oh my. This just keeps getting better. Also managing to throw the other man under the bus while he was also trimming his bushes. 🙂 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very quiet on Ashworth aren't they? Is there some kind of omerta that's been sworn? 🤔 Reflects negatively on Man U, we can't have that. I can't imagine there's a single clued-up person in the world of football who's looked at our trajectory and Man U's and figured he'll swap one for the other, so they must be getting ready to pay him the big wonga. Hope he'll enjoy losing half of it in the inevitable legal battle when we sue him for breach of contract. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 9774 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I have to suffer watching Klopp filling up a glas of Erdinger‘s because of an advert they keep on showing about three times during every football coverage. Mind you it’s not as bad as when I saw the Fish struggling with this Ukrainian wheat beer in the Union rooms. More foam than in a pool at a foam party. So I wouldn’t have a pint with either of them. At least not another pint of wheat beer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
