One of his previous roles was "Head of Elite Development" for the England set-up at the FA. With hindsight that doesn't look so good either. When they took Ashworth on Ratcliffe described him as: "The best Director of Football in the world." It's the same absurd approah they have used to recruit players. Everyone is described as "world class" when they sign for the Rags even if, like most of their current team, they can't trap or pass a ball!

Dan Ashworth is a very good director of football. His track record proves this with players like Caicedo, Macallister and Cucurella brought in for small amounts and sold for a huge profit. Signing Guimarães. Isak, Gordon and Tonali were all very good signings for Newcastle.

The problem he had with INEOS is that they want everything right now RIGHT NOW, and Dan Ashworth is all about analysing the data and looking at stats, providing them with multiple options, when they want the solution, not options.

Berrada is much more on the same wave length.

City should go in for Rashford during the January transfer window.
Offer United £100mill.
Give Rashford £400,000 a week.
He nose it would be the perfect move for him.

Even their hype is hyped up beyond belief.

It's one of the few things they excel at.............apart from :- buying shite players for excessive prices, sacking managers, letting their properties rot etc etc etc.

  • Cycling: Ineos Grenadiers, formerly Team Sky, has struggled to regain its former glory. The team has won fewer races, and has not won a Grand Tour since Brailsford became Ineos's director of sport in 2021. Some say the team lacks a rider who can challenge for major podiums, and that Egan Bernal's recovery from a training ride crash in 2022 is unlikely.

  • Football: Manchester United, where Ineos has a minority stake, has had difficulty finding success. The team is currently in 13th place in the Premier League.

  • Sailing: Ineos has experienced only losses in the America's Cup.

  • Formula 1: Mercedes has not had a world champion since Ratcliffe's investment in 2020.

  • Rugby: The All Blacks lost the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
