There must be some kind of plan in play to get further control of the club by Ratcliffe..

10:44 and it's just appeared
A United statement said the decision was made by mutual agreement.
"We would like to thank Dan for his work and support during a transitional period for the club and wish him well for the future," the statement added.
Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation have said Ashworth was told of the decision after United's home defeat by Nottingham Forest on Saturday, which left the club 13th in the Premier League.
Ashworth was seen walking through the press conference room with the club's chief operating officer Collette Roche after the game.
It is understood Ashworth was on his way to a meeting where his exit was confirmed.
"mutual agreement" eh?
The perfect fumble

Ashworth leaves after 5 months...after all of that chasing!
How much did they pay Newcastle for him?!
Gardening leave with £10 million for compost, ex rag managers and execs have the best kept gardens in the world.

There must be a suspicion they are up to something. Hope our new guy is all signed up.
Why? We're the 4 times in a row Champions with unlimited wealth and they're a midtable club. Are you scared of Wolves poaching him too?
Maybe his relationship with their manager and a bucket load of cash

There's a story that Ashworth & Brailsford recommended retaining Poundland Pep in the summer, and Scruffy Jim wasn't happy with that decision. But they've changed managers now so why sack him? I can only assume Ashworth wasn't happy with the Amorim appointment and him and Ratcliffe had a big fall out.
It's very amusing that the people running football operations, who know sweet FA about football, appoint someone who's quite knowledgeable about it, then sack him.
Agent Omar, I take my hat off to you.
