So, news tonight is that Ashworth is suing us for arbitration to force a move through to Man Utd.

Who apperently are not budging on their £2 million offer.

Can someone explain to me what the **** he thinks arbitration will do?

He's our employee, on a long term contract that he signed of his own free will - if Man Utd won't meet the release price then nothing happens. We can't be told we have to accept a lower amount.

Surely this is correct?

Have to say - he's hurt his reputation a lot I think over the last few months.

I suspect that Man Utd have asked him to push forward with this (sorry, I'm sure it's all off his own back and their has been no contact ) because they want him in before they fire Ten Haag so that he can get a manager he can work with.
