Newcastle have placed sporting director Dan Ashworth on gardening leave after an approach from Manchester United.
The 52-year-old told the Tyneside club he wanted to leave on Sunday.
Darren Eales, Newcastle United CEO, said on Monday: "We are naturally disappointed that Dan has chosen to leave, however our exciting journey doesn't stop and the process to recruit a new sporting director will begin immediately.

They are getting media focus and attention because it's what Manchester United are recruiting right now. Everything united gets more attention than other clubs. Now they are recruiting a sporting director so sporting director is what is in the news. Hated, adored, never ignored.
Doesn’t change the fact you’re not in the Fergie anymore and never ever will be again. You’re not an elite club anymore. Face it.
@@Newcxstlebro, we just robbed you of one of the best sporting directors in the world 😂
Lickle man club
@@Newcxstle Never ignored buddy, never ignored. Don't be so mad, you'll get ill lol, plus new times will always be the best times ;)
@@NewcxstleNewcastle never were, so how would you know? To be without a league title in almost 100 years… Don’t you feel even a little ashamed? You had Alan Shearer and still couldn’t do it. But he WAS able to win the league at Blackburn… We won a trophy more recently than Newcastle, we have the most fans in the PL, and we have the best young talent under 21. No one can reasonably argue with Hojlund, Garnacho, or Mainoo’s potential. What does Newcastle have? Money, sure. But Eddie Howe? What, is Pep or Klopp or Xabi Alonso, or Ancelotti going to ever manage Newcastle? No way. And you already have to sell players. You might even lose Guimares this summer because of FFP. Why else do you think Dan Ashworth wants to jump ship? And he is exactly what we needed along with a new direction from ownership. Money doesn’t buy you everything. By itself, money can’t get you the best players, best managers, best staff. Enjoy fighting for top 6. All of our issues over the last 10 years have been down to the Glazers, and the promise that Ratcliffe will be in charge of footballing operations is the first major, positive change since Sir Alex left. We are the home of Cantona, Giggs, Scholes, Rooney, Beckham, Ferdinand, Schmeichel, Best, and Ronaldo. Hope you had fun in your first CL group stage in 20 years. Newcastle is and always will be Alan Shearer’s version of Tottenham.
@@Newcxstlebro is in complete denial and fear of getting Spanked again for the next 20 years.
Just checked the 2024 gardening illustrated and cannot see Dan's garden being listed. Must be one helluva Garden he has, would be a shame to not show it off.
He should be alright at Old Trafford then, there are enough shrinking violets, weeds, and pansies there .... especially that Rashford, who yesterday proved once again that he could trip over fresh air!
Is it not centrefold?
Because you’re looking for it in the northeast, check Salford on Google maps and you’ll find it behind there.
I don't remember sky sports covering it when he went from Brighton to Newcastle, United is different levels
Because United is a big club
Even if United change their janitor, every news media will cover it because that's how big a club United is.
He also didn’t leave in under two years into a long term project
What is your point?
@benedictjajo fr fr 💀😂😂
This dude always gives the vibe of a guy who hasn't done his homework and has to bluff through an answer!
That’s the most accurate description of this guy I’ve read
As an NUFC supporter, I think Man U are VERY welcome to him. Maybe our next director will supply Howe with players he is actually allowed to play.
Brilliant due diligence with Sandro Tonali
errr, NOT REALLY
Ac knew it was coming it should have been avoided all Italy knew we found out after 🤷🏼♂️
As a United fan, seeing the appointment of someone like Dan Ashworth is as exciting for me as it would be if we were to sign a big player. The managing structure has been a big problem at United for a long time for lots of reasons and different managers we've had over the years have said this since Sir Alex & David Gill left. Ralf Rangnick mentioned that United needed "open heart surgery", or in other words, it wasn't a quick fix - it required deep structural change that would take time to implement. Seeing Sir Jim take over and immediately get in Omar Berrada from City and now Dan from Newcastle is incredibly exciting and more exciting than any players we could bring in right now because it means we won't be overspending on players; we will bring in the right players to fit our playing style; we'll have someone overseeing every single operation inside the club ensuring everything is being run properly and everybody is empowered to do their job to the absolute best standards that are expected at a club like Man United. We've been missing this ever since Sir Alex left and I wonder what we could have accomplished if we had this structure even after Sir Alex left.
pure waffle. you won the able to get the bargains when its united, and thats what DA is good for.
Peterborough United, aye?
Hope he has a big garden.😁
Hehehe he will not stay for long...so any size will do...
Just look at the comments 😄 rival fans are fuming. Everyone can see the sleeping giant waking up and nobody is happy about it. You love to see it
Legend
You lot been saying this for 10years 🤣
@@Hazed_77 first time in 10 years football people are in charge of top level football decisions and first time in 20 years owners are in power who care about developing the stadium 👍
Face it, the days that Utd are ran like a circus are no more. Funs over!
@@Hazed_77more than you can say about the loser club you support
@@samwize28 Glazers still running tings buddy don't get your hopes up!
One high quality transfer window will more than recover any compensation payment. Mitoma for £500k v Anthony for £85m.?? Caceido for £12m v Casemiro for £70m. Not to mention the difference in wages. It’s a no brainer.
The rebuilding is already in progress.
Casimero isn't as bad, he's a high quality player who's already established himself as being one of the best in the world. Antony was inexcusable
Dan Ashworth isn't a scout
@@NUFCOfficialyou really are clueless aren't ya. He doesn't need to be a scout he assembles a team to work under him and he has worked magic at the other clubs he has been at in recruitment
Well tbh Caicedo was good at Brighton, but is utter crap at Chelsea. I suspect that it's just Chelsea who can't use him properly in a pretty awful team, or possibly Caicedo reached his ceiling at Brighton.
Dan Ashworth the guy that did due diligence on the Tonali transfer..........
This is ridiculous. You can’t k ow everything a player does on their off time unless you have private investigators all over the world.
switch sport brother, just like saying Ronaldo is trash cuz he missed an open goal in 2012. Pathetic
@@elvindejesus8584 or before you get them to sign a contract you ask if they have any illegal behaviour pre contract that would make them ineligible to do their job.
You named one bad transfer lmao. One
And nearly tied our hands on a £28m left back Howe doesn’t want and now won’t play to avoid committing.
He has shown tremendous loyalty to stay in his dream job for 18 months.
Do you have to do gardening on gardening leave? does anyone check?
Looks like it just didn't work and Eddie wasn't 100% convinced by Dan Ashworth. Get him gone and get the compensation, we might be able to buy some players then.
Fabrizio Romano has already told us what the gardening leave is all about 😅
They actually came in for Dan “Burn” but Eddie sh@t himself and got the tipex out.
🤣🤣🤣👍
😂😂😂😂 excellent
Lots of really really positive moves from United recently. Very exciting.
Media hype job. He didn't really do well at Newcastle did he? And Brighton seem to be doing no worst without him
Literally this. Brighton are doing just fine without him, Newcastle will too…media hype surrounding the Man Utd circus just for likes and views. Man Utd are finished and have been since Fergie left.
@@Newcxstleman u will be back sunshine Omar Berrada and Dan the perfect combination
@@Newcxstle Without Mitoma, Brighton would be grasping for top 10. Without Nick Pope, Newcastle are crap. Also, Newcastle hasn’t won the league in almost 100 years. And this was the first CL they’ve been in for 20 years. And look how that turned out.
Seething mate. Small club mentality. You'll never be united scale. Ever. @@Newcxstle
@@sahelsalamtenor7610Got more CL points than MU and we're in a lot tougher group
Well development 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
here we go again kavhe and dancing with the tune😁😁😁😁
United poching other top executives 😎😎😎😎😎😎
Yes like the top teams did
Who the F is united...?
@@porciestreethenderson202 not gonna argue with you go research and see how many titles we got .
If he’d done a good job he’d be going nowhere.
Ashworth done what? He turned England into the most boring team on planet earth along with Southgate.
He refused to sign a striker for Brighton and left them with Maupay upfront. Brighton went from relegation contenders to Europa as soon as he left.
Newcastle we’re close to signing Maddison, Paqueta and Diaby and Ashworth decided Lewis Hall was a better option.
He never recruited brightons hidden gems like Mitoma, Caicedo etc, that was Sam Jewell, all Ashworth did was negotiate a price. All Ashworth wants is over priced British players.
If Newcastle get Rangnick, he will be a huge upgrade over Ashworth. Rangnick is the bloke who scouted Haaland, Mane, Nkunku, Gvardiol, Keita, just to name a few. Don’t think Man Utd realise that Ashworth is very stuck in his ways of British players.
Must be a really important garden he has.
What a signing!
Really? NUFC's best players were signed before he went there ....
Brighton.... also isak and botman joined when he was their and they are really good players
@@markgreenaway8666 Isak's always injured.
@@markgreenaway8666 They had already been scouted and Botman had agreed to sign in January before Ashworth was there. Nicolson (Head of Scouting) is the true guy behind all the signings .. That is fact 👍
Newcastle have replaced his job role from recruitment to now doing the gardening as a form of punishment.
So it basically means he will be doing all grass cutting trees watering the plants till further notice.
Is everyone forgetting that he signed Tonali and didn't find the issue of his gambling.
He had him each way.
If the guy is so brilliant, why didn’t they get him when he was at Brighton or prior?
Sir Jim is really moving in silence. I used to pray for times like this
This as noisy as it gets. 😂
But I get you
The man who thought it would be a good idea to go into a CL campaign with two injury prone strikers. Cheers for the £20M 🤑
Brilliant sky reporter 👌🏼
he has been tasked with arranging the gnomes in a way that is pleasing
Be good practice for sourcing new players for United
Would love to benchmark from his garden...
Brilliant Newcastle move as they are going to absolutely rinse United....and we all know that United do now how to get rinsed well. They're going have to pay some serious money and probably get him at the start of next season
Deluded ent ya? One decent transfer window will more than cover the 20 million united have to pay 😂😂 clueless
@@callumcarron9755 IF you have been following the club you'll find out that they're fookin skint 🤣
Salty!!!!!
We are rinsing them 😂 I love it.
He's a really good journalist
..Spring is up on us,hence they are letting him get some fresh air ..
Not a bit of loyalty in the bloke
It's football... when has loyalty been an issue? The highest bidder always wins.
Can anyone explain what is gardening leave? Im not familiar with the UK LAW ....
It's a period whereby you are not allowed to be working and neither can you work for any rival team/company
Manchester United seem to really be doing business.. they are going around the clubs and just picking who they want and taking them.. Seems like Ratcliffe is determined to make a good go of bringing them back to the top.
And Ratcliffe will succeed dude 😮
What is he planting?
Excited! Welcome to Manchester United Dan Ashworth........
£20m before you can say welcome, we'll have a replacement bedded in & our summer business done before he arrives in rainy town , we could make him sit it out till 2026 if your lot try and wriggle off the hook as they're now whinging you have problems with FSR , diddums 😂
@@kathchandler4919 hes only got 2 years on his contract, he said he wants to go. he's essentially left us
Dan Ashworth first job is to lay new turf on his gardening leave.
Kaveh, can you please explain to us like we are 5 years old while speaking slow and stop sometimes to emphasize the important words,thanks.
Good luck Dan Ashworth from a Toon Fan. He came in bought us a lot of good players and albeit the Tonali saga has left us in a stronger position than I can remember.
The best signings pre-date Ashworth, in fact, I don't believe the hype. Look forward to seeing who replaces him.
The main problem of man utd is poor quality players in the first team squad.. They got he worst defence line and poor wingers
Most the defenders have been injured for the majority of the season. It is a small miracle they are sitting 6th and not too far out of the top four.
Atleast i think they got the timing right. He can slowly take over and start making decisions by the end of the season. Sucks for Newcastle though.
Honestly we don’t mind. It’s an inconvenience absolutely, but we’re desperate for money for FFP and not having to sell a player while getting £20 million is a result.
@@BRKS1999 Actually I feel your team is better already. Just bad luck with injury and AC Milan doing you guys dirty. Once they're all back you'd be pushing for the title.
@@sathyantinku9177 But they’re going to lose Guimares this summer over FFP.
@@sahelsalamtenor7610 That's just sad. But atleast they have Tonali coming back.
@@BRKS1999good luck holding out for £20 million when Newcastle are desperate for cash. If you think United don’t have other options then you are mistaken. It will be funny seeing Newcastle having to pay Ashworth and his replacement until 2026, that should really help you avoid FFP 🤣😂🤣😂
I've just asked my employers for gardening leave. They gave me a p45 and a plant pot
It's a big deal for United fans and Newcastle United fans, but for everyone else, it is not really important.
Best bit of business United have done in over a decade.
It’s not difficult. You want him? You pay them.
Yeah but they want ridiculous money and that’s also not what man united want to do anymore with berrarda coming in, Newcastle will lose this at the end as their own director wants to leave you can’t just keep asking for dumb price you have to just accept what man united will pay
@@Jay-rr6meBut every club does that Man U did the same thing with Lingard, if they want him so badly then they need to pay us a hefty sum, I think there’s a huge amount of arrogance for Man U thinking Newcastle would just roll over
@@silvanow8768 I understand that but you don’t understand what it’s like when someone who is part of your team and I mean huge part is asking to leave it’s a huge disrespect to what your building so at the end of the day you have to just accept the reality and the reality is man united won’t over pay and Newcastle won’t continue with a person who doesn’t want to be there
@@silvanow8768 I think 10million should be fair enough for both teams
How do you enforce the gardening leave and ensures Dan is not already working for Man U in this period? Do you hire a PI?
I was talking to a lawyer about this earlier today and he said “ I dont watch football” lol 😂
I hope Newcastle don’t forget the outrageous price they were quoted to take linguard for 4 months and play hardball with manure!!!
You mean like the outrageous price they quoted Sean Longstaff for?
@@Thanoslives1983 Newcastle wanted 50 mil. I guess you got short term memory.
@@snowmannpacino3499 you mean the price quoted to scare anyone off because they didn't want him to leave!! Totally different situations.
@@alanhenwood5315 Why are Newcastle fans crying? You've got bag of money, get over it. Stop being a bitter ex.
It means Man Utd need to pay what Newcastle wants cause there is a clause that says Dan Ashworth can’t work for a rival untill 2026 unless they pay Newcastles compensation.
I wish I could go on a 2 year gardening leave..
He'll be working on the sly
@@Jack-gs4fi that’s never gonna happen. You will get sued and took to court and let’s be honest you can’t afford it. Hope yous do tho be funny
How does one get hired as a football sporting director , what's a entry level job one pursue to eventually get that role or is there a course you can study?
You know they mad
As a Newcastle fan. I couldn’t care less we’ve signed 21 players and 7 of them are great the rest are sh**. We need money for FFP and getting £20 million for someone who isn’t a player is a result
Um he didn't have full control as dof at Newcastle he had to much interference with players that were bought and sold lol
You're not getting 20m, not even remotely close. LMAO.
@@gustaaf1892 then he wont go
@@sirwinstonchurchill2052 You're delusional because that's not how it works when someone wants to leave. Love the arrogance of unearned oil money though.
@@sirwinstonchurchill2052 In the mean time he talks to his old mate Brailsford in the comfort of his home about what he think United could do to improve their personnel. Newcastle will realise it is best to let him go rather than to pay him for doing nothing.
It’s all about money, players, managers, you name it. At the right price they go.
Bencho was on 'gardening leave' for most of the season. Paid $300k a week to chill out.
Odd, he must have been offered a big pay raise
if that's what you want to think, sure :)))))))
Or coming to a bigger club for a bigger project
best signing man u has done for years
When does he start? 😂 2026?
@@frogman86 already started

He is on Gardening leave planting well and very soon united will benefit from his garden in the summer, fruits and the vegetables in his garden will be sweet and i hope so.GGMU will bounce back❤❤❤
Can he grow lemons, weeds and pansies in his garden, like they have on the pitch at Old Trafford?
@@barryh.4220maybe. But at least red devil's still living rent free in your cranium dude 😮.
@@paulkyriakopoulos3444 They've only come into my mind today because of Ashworths antics, they definitely wouldnt have done otherwise because nobody is interested in them anymore, other than their own fans ...... clubs like City, Liverpool and Arsenal have bigger distractions and targets to worry about, and only notice United when they actually have to play them!
I can well imagine United fans talking about the upcoming derby match and getting all excited, like they always do.....but i've yet to hear any City fan even mention it, we only care about beating Brentford tomorrow night!

Remember when Man Utd wanted ridiculous money for Lingard? Taste of their own medicine
Mercenary is what mercenary does.
Same energy when you took him from Brighton?
Nothing new here. People move on to bigger things in their work if the opportunity presents itself. Like when he left Brighton to go Newcastle. It is what it is 🤷

Gardening leave,, just weeding out the negatives. At least he's not being turfed out of Newcastle Utd.
Saw him driving a little lawn mower the other day. Looks like that suits him better.
Was it a red, white and black one?

Then the club will have Newcastle behaviors of having miraculous losses and wins too

Dan is on gardening leave the grass needs cutting and fence need a coat of paint
This is non sensical, he isnt leaving Newcastle without having a job to go to. It’s all agreed.
1 word
No...its called a contract, hes essentially in limbo untill man utd pay the fee
@@frogman86 why would he leave then?
Newcastle paid £5million to Brighton for Ashworth and were restricted to when he joined them. In the end Ashworth will be like a few footballers and make a great living without doing a great deal for it.
this man literally just gives us transfer news that everyone already knows or can simply get up on Google 😂😂😂😂 how on earth does he hold this job
I wonder what his thoughts are on the surveillance and banning of the Newcastle fan.
I don’t know what it is - but i always get the impression from Kaveh when he speaks about United is that he hates the club.. he’s always so negative, always glass half empty when he talks about them. I don’t get it
Its strange how we talk about these figures as if they're players. Then why are Sky running wall to wall coverage on it!!
If Man Utd want him that bad then pay up
How much did Newcastle pay Brighton for him?
How much they paid Brighton dont matter. Newcastle got history with Manchester united so they always gonna charge more.

We would have bought our targets by the time Dan finishes his 20 month leave 😂
Youre talking about it/reporting it because it's Manchester United. Always big news. You didn't talk about it when Dan Ashworth moved to Brighton, or to Newcastle, you didn't talk about it when Omar moved to Man City. Or any other suit that moved to any other club. You talk about it because it's Man United and that's always big news
£10M too low, £20M too high.. £15M is the going rate, covers what we paid for him, and the fact MUFC wants to break his contract - it's their deal to make.. no one else has to give them a helping hand.
Okay
For sure, historically man u were a big club, they're now definitely a basket case club.
Here he is the Chelsea fan reporting on United ! Look Dan Ashworth is the best ! The best in class it’s as simple as that
Tbf though who wants to talk about Chelsea 😂

You know times are bad at man u when they are tossing themselves off over a directer of football 😂
Hope they take utd for every penny they can get
Expecting a Man U badge mowed into Newcastles pitch while he’s gardening.
I'm sure Dan Ashworth would be disappointed if Newcastle weren't disappointed in losing him.
Good luck to him if he wants to leave show him the door hand shake see you later, more interested in who will bring in
Hopefully he can put a good cross in for Rasmus before washing washing the kits on Sunday's.
