Dan Ashworth is the biggest myth in world football.

Thought of Potter after reading your post above.

If we went for one, you could see the sense in the other.

Might be wrong but i thought Ashworth was in the England set up for a while - that might be the link with Southgate.
Ashworth and Southgate I think were two of the main drivers of the reform of England’s youth set up. I think Ashworth was England’s technical director when they won something like 5 tournaments at youth level in one summer

Assume he rates Southgate higher than Potter, having worked with both. Or just figured Southgate better prepared for Man Utd.

Presuming the report on Southgate is true.....wouldn't be a fan or either Potter or Southgate to be honest with you mate, but i see the sense in having a technical director/DOF and manager as "a fit". Not a huge fan of dogmatic possession based football in general.

Looked a bit messy the structure at Utd, they brought in the lad from City Berrada as CEO, Ashworth as Sporting Director and then Wilcox as technical director - too many chiefs.

TBF I rate what this fella did at PSV and his signings while he was with us, it was the constant medling from the Mosh and Kia that was ultimately the last straw for him.

I think he would have been wonderful for us if he could have just got on with the job...
He piped up in the media recently talking about how he prevented mosh from signing Ballotelli
He had more control than he is given credit for.

His high profile signings cost the club hundreds of millions for next to nothing in return.
Had he been any good at his job, we might have been able to sell some to avoid PSR issues, but they were all either cack or given contracts that made them unsellable because they simply weren’t worth what he gave them imo.
