Brighton boss Graham Potter has refused to be drawn on speculation over Newcastle United’s interest in Dan Ashworth. Potter admits the 50-year-old is ‘fantastic’ to work alongside, but would not discuss any potential agreement with Newcastle.
Graham Potter said: “He’s been great to work with. I didn’t know Dan [Ashworth] before I came here. He’s fantastic at this job. He’s incredibly organised and links the club really well. He’s helped, I’m helped and we’re all helped by having a fantastic chairman who sets the tone for everything, provides a fantastic direction for us all, so we’re all able to do our jobs really well. Tony [Bloom] is really supportive of Dan [Ashworth], myself, and everybody. Dan [Ashworth] has been brilliant for me. I can’t comment on speculation but he’s been a key part of what we’ve done and helped incredibly with me and my staff. He’s played a huge role.”
