A massive feather in the cap for Newcastle United Sporting Director - As Brighton smash Liverpool nufc
Opinion22 seconds agoBrighton made it as difficult as possible for Dan Ashworth to take up his new job at Newcastle United.Dan Ashworth tied into a very tight contract on the south coast and when he resigned back in February in order to take up the job of Newcastle United Sporting Director, Brighton owner Tony Bloom insisted that Ashworth worked his full gardening leave notice of nine months, unless Newcastle United paid acceptable compensation to shorten that time period.
For Newcastle United fans fed a Mike Ashley diet of the likes of minions such as Bruce, Charnley, Wise, Kinnear, Llambias and many others, to see appointments such as Darren Eales, Eddie Howe and Dan Ashworth, is just…a completely different club.The current owners appointed Dan Ashworth, who had / has a stellar reputation after the jobs he had done at West Brom, England / The FA and of course, Brighton.
However, difficult to believe that Dan Ashworth wasn’t massively a factor in Brighton turning things around. After promotion in May 2017, Brighton owner Tony Bloom backed relatively significant investment, particularly in player recruitment. A net spend for Brighton in their first two seasons in the Premier League of around £130m, in contrast, over the course of Rafa Benitez’ three years at St James’ Park, it was around about £0 in net spend that he was allowed on new players.
Exactly what Dan Ashworth can be credited with, is something that no doubt can be argued, as he wasn’t alone. However, I can’t see how anybody can deny that he has been a key figure in the upward trajectory of that football club.
Moving swiftly forward to the present day, this is how the Premier League table looks this Sunday morning…
