Simon Jordan discussed Eddie Howe’s reaction to Dan Ashworth’s departure during an interview, highlighting Howe’s diplomatic response and praise for Ashworth’s skills.
Simon Jordan said, “I spoke to Eddie Howe about him the other day. He was very diplomatically polite about him and spoke very well of him, but Dan Ashworth moves around with opportunities that suit Dan Ashworth.”
Jordan further elaborated on the significance of Ashworth’s career move to Manchester United, comparing it to his previous successes and questioning his ability to succeed at a higher level.
Simon Jordan said, “He landed upon the biggest opportunity of his career. This was the moment that I figured we were going to see if this man is all he is cracked up to be because it’s one thing doing it at Brighton, being successful at West Brom and being successful on the rebuild under the anybody but Ashley regime that was in Newcastle then as far as the fans were concerned. It’s another thing landing in the biggest pond.”
