Simon Jordan Reveals RUTHLESS Tactics Used In Steve Bruce's Crystal Palace To Birmingham Move! 🤣👀 

Newcastle fan here. Sod the money - I'd make ASSworth sit on Garden Leave till October 2025........

Dan Ashworth isn’t giving me the warm and fuzzy feeling of competence I was anticipating.

Dan Ashworth is coming across as quite the bumbling fool. He will fit in well with the rest of the clowns at Old Trafford

Remember Man Utd fans creaming themselves thinking Dan Ashworth was going to send them back to the top. Best in class wasnt it 😅 Turns out he cant even send an email. They suit eachother as Man utd are an absolute clown show aswell 😂

Ashworth doesn’t exactly seem shrewd.

Newcastle paid 5m and waited 6 months. Man U want to pay 2m and he starts immediately! Piss take!

Dan Ashworth certainly gets hell of a lot of credit for work at Newcastle that he had very little to do with Some examples I've heard in recent months (Keep in mind Dan Ashworth joined in June 2022) Sky and some pundits crediting him with signing Bruno Guimaraes - Despite him being signed 6 months before he joined The signing of Isak - Even though Newcastle were actively scouting him already and along with Arsenal back in January 2022 had scouts attending his games for Sociedad. Credited with unearthing Botman - Despite Newcastle having already bid for him in January 2022 Credited with signing Gordon - despite it being made clear in the recent Prime series that Eddie Howe was the driving force behind wanting him at the club and it being Amanda Staveley that negotiated the deal (on camera) Signed Harvey Barnes - Nevermind the fact he's been injury prone during his time at the club, it omits the fact that Newcastle have had a long standing interest in Barnes going back to 2020 From what I understand the only true big deal he had been completely involved in from the start is the Tonali deal and as we know Tonali has been banned for 10 months, so it's hard to say that signing has made much of an impact yet. Newcastle are still yet to see any major improvements to the academy either in 2 years and yet this was meant to be his area of specialism.

In 2017, Liverpool were found guilty of tapping up a young player who was registered with Stoke City, which led to a £100,000 fine and a two-year ban from signing academy players from English league clubs... I'd be happy if Man United get a two-year transfer ban would be fair

Assworth's clear negligence around sending that email makes it more and more plausible that he walked into the Tonali deal without the thought of any sort of questions or background check on the player. AC Milan musta saw this guy comin from miles away and though "No way, are we really gonna get out of this sticky situation we're in?! and they did.

Dan Ashworth and Man United should have asked Newcastle first

Jordan didn't employ RUTHLESS tactics. He called on Bruce to honour the contract or for Birmingham to pay up. What a stupid headline.

The difference with players is the clubs receive a transfer fee, to buy them out of their contract. Hence no gardening leave. Man Utd pay whats due and the gardening leave can be ended sooner, not rocket science.

Contract is a contract, not when it just suits you

5 million fine to Ashworth and Barrada and 2 year suspension from working in football would be a fair punishment.

It wasn’t too long ago when Man Utd were trying to rinse Newcastle on a six month loan fee for the signing of Jesse Lingard..! Fortunately Newcastle weren’t stupid enough to go ahead with that deal, let’s see if Man Utd do something similar? All they have to do is wait eighteen months!!

Seems Man U front office is just as leaky as their stadium 😂😂😂

You want him, pay the money, Simples

Only a clueless owner would appoint someone a manager as mediocre as Steve Bruce…

didnt newcastle have to wait to sign ashworth in the first place?

Show Us The Money Ratcliffe!

A contract is a contract, if i dont like my phone during my 2 year contract, i can't leave without any penalty, its no different, he signed the bloody contract. Jim Ratcliffe is definitely not talking sense Jim!!!! You're both talking total rubbish.

guy seems incompetent, seems perfect for Man Utd.

Man united were a big club now they are making themselves look like fools

My son was put on gardening leave a few years ago & he worked in a call centre he was going to another in same industry A friend was put on gardening leave for a similar reason it happens all the time in industry Mr Radcliff should know this Newcastle had to pay Brighton & also wait several months for Mr Ashworth so I am afraid Manchester red will have to pay up & wait same as they have with Manchester City simple as that Just because you think you are superior you are not

Gardening leave is quite comment on most industries when you are quite senior. I had it when I was looking to leave and it was six months.

Sir Jordanite = Top LAD Proper Clobber 💯 Facts

Dan Ashworth has had more transfers in 2 years than most players have in an entire career 😂

The hypocrisy of SJs stance on Ashworth by saying ‘deal with it your pinching someone else’s staff’ but openly admitting he tapped managers up at the beginning of this section. 😂

Simon will never let this go haha

Sounds like the circus has found a new ring leader 🎪🤡

I think ashworth likes a few quid for nothing too

It's garden leave. Not gardening leave. They aren't flung out to trim hedges.

I wonder how long Ashworths gardening leave clause will be in his Man Utd contract?

Weird title for a discussion about Man U making illegal approaches with a staff member who legally wasn’t allowed to make. Brushing it under the rug, are we?

Funny how Simon talks about tapping up being the done thing in football and he has done it himself... Yet still feels betrayed by Bruce almost 25 years later when Blues did the same to him.

Love Simon!

The title of this upload is shameful tbh this is about Dan ashworth signing a contract he shouldn’t have and United thinking they are above the rules

I remember this with Bruce . Good work Simon 😂

'No you can't....But I can....But you can't...' Simon in full flow is a thing to behold.

Newcastle signing that donkey Ashworth sounds like a lovely bit of business for them. Fair play.

That was awesome

The NFL works completely different: it’s completely transparent when coaches are going for other jobs and probably works better as a result.

If I was Ashworth I would sign the following players ASAP : Alisson, Van Dijk, Konate, Trent, Tsimikas, Endo, Szobo, Jones, Salah, Diaz, Gakpo, Hendo, and Milner.

Newcastle fan, I actually hope Man Utd remove their interest in this clown and we make him fulfil his contract until next year and he falls into insignificance.

great watching Jim laughing throughout this!

I just noticed Simon’s glasses kept slipping every minute or so. I thought only I have glasses which slip down my nose 😂

Just because it's gone on for "time imomoriam" doesn't mean its right. You can't derive an ought from an is 🤷

Wouldn’t speaking to another club be acting against the clubs interests and by extent be considered ground for gross misconduct and summarily dismissal? Thus no compensation. It’s all games within games.

tapping up has always been ridiculous, people talk...fancy coming to our team...yeah maybe or nah im good

I’m with Simon

Following on from the total mess he made by signing Tonali for Newcastle, Ashworth sounds like a complete and utter buffoon! I honestly don't know how these people become so highly regarded, spoken of with the reverence of deity and command absolute shed loads of money.

Ah I love Simon! All I have now is an image of Steve Bruce mowing Simon’s garden while he sits in his robe on his deck😂 and the mower is a manual push one😂

Jim’s little gasp of shock made me laugh

If I was a Man Utd fan I’d be worried having someone this incompetent

So everyone else gets slaughtered by Jordan for breaking rules but he breaks the rules when he doesn’t like the rule, ffs.

Jim is just a joy to watch

I don't think we will miss Dan Ashworth, we signed Isak, Bruno and Botman before Ashworth and they provide the spine that our first eleven should be built around. Ashworth over saw the signing of Tonali - it looks like we spent the best part of £60M on a player without any due diligence, and our other signings this season like Barnes and Liveramento have had injury issues (we paid a lot for Barnes and Liveramento despite knowing Liveramento had previously been injured all of last season.)

First time l have agreed with Simon Jordan.

9:06 : “pay it” “pay it”“pay it”“pay it”“pay it”. 😅

SJ at his best here 😂

Comedy gold again from Simon 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The funniest thing about this is Simon Jordan fighting so hard to keep Steve Bruce Steve bloody Bruce is not Pep guardiola 😂😂

Well said Simon

I just watched the first 90 seconds and I agree with Simon, I think 'fining' players is a totally preposterous, probably illegal and out dated idea. Who else would tolerate such nonsense from their employer? Absolutely no-one would and I've thought that for a very long time. Who the hell do these football clubs and managers' think they are. If a player took them to court and they had to refund all the fines they've imposed over the years' it could be a very large sum of money.

simon the man

lol We all know football is totally corrupt Its laughable like he said that tapping is a thing they pretend does not happen I stopped watching arsenal in 2002, and it was a total joke that back in 1990s george graham was sacked for taking a bung for jensen joining arsenal, when all teams would of been doing it.

A contract is a contract, some people are just greedy.

Tapping up is just another name for compensation or transfer fee

Spot on Simon..

Ok so other people break the rules and Simon says rules are rules

So Simon 'the rules apply to everyone' Jordan is quite happy to break those rules he doesn't approve of?

if u turn up late u wont be paid for the time u wasnt there ...cmon simon wise up

This is a classic case of players and staff ensuring they proper legal advice before signing contracts.

It's sad how people are seen as nothing but property by the likes of Simon Jordan

It's people who think like Simon that are ruining the sport. Football is a sport, not only a business

Amazing the way Simon can conflate tapping up as ridiculous and not applying to any other industry, yet he's incapable of seeing the ridiculous side of FFP.

Ashworth has a nice garden dont knock him.

Well done Assworth

9:23 Jordan's best moment ever

Took long enough but Brum got its justs...

😂😂😂😂😂😂I didn’t even know that could happen You have to love the premier league

Simon says the tapping up rule is stupid.Then proceded to promote the legality of a contract.

Regarding Si Jordan and Rod Stewart war of words, I am not a fan of Stewart but before Sky came into football both Rangers and Celtic could match EPL clubs financially and outnumbered their supporters, in other words Rupert Murdoch and Sky TV put Scottish Premier league on the bottom tier and English football at the top tier with the outrageous money he throws at the English FA, it's disgusting that ELP was getting £1B while all 42 Scottish clubs recieve a poxy £25.7m per season which isn't even a crumb compared to English football.

Simon Jordon may, to some may be contreversial? BUT, I love the guy. In addition I wish him good health and likewise to you also Mr White. Love your shows and I love this video. Again Mr Jordan is classic.

lol simon slags city off for cheating daily but its ok for him to "bend the rules"

Does Simon ever lose an argument

Thats why he hates birmingham

Simon you should be primeminister

Repeated clips from Talksport

Former Owner 😂

7:53

The problem with any contract that puts you on gardening leave is that the leave cannot be excessive (however you choose to define excessive). If Ashworth or Man U can argue that a year is excessive and I would guess they have a case the clause can be struck out. I suspect that is what Ashworth will argue at a tribunal.

La la land football 😂😂

Dan de Dan Dan Dan

Loving the bots comments 😂😂

The lunatics are running he asylum

an UMBRELLA would win more matches than STEVE BRUCE STEVE BRUCE is the insult in person for professional and serious coaching and management. STEVE BRUCE is the worst coach in whole europe with FRANK de BOER,FRANK LAMPARD or NIGEL PEARSON!!!

Jim like a 5 year old lol

Yere showing the hatred of man United that ye have Shane on you people

Me me me
