Gary still chews the Ashworth gum…
Hold onto your football hats, folks! Gary Neville, the oracle of Old Trafford, has spilled the beans like a clumsy barista about the mysterious and bewildering escapades of Dan Ashworth. Apparently, this Ashworth chap was cooking up a managerial storm in the teacup that is Manchester United—so intense, it sent the club’s teapot lid flying! Neville reckons Ashworth was all for hiring Gareth “squeaky clean” Southgate or the magically moving Graham Potter to replace Erik ten Hag, much like swapping a flashy sports car for a reliable old bicycle.
The bizarre bromance between Neville and Ashworth stretches back to the days when they were teammates in the England setup—a duo as iconic as fish and chips. But alas, just as the bromance was ready to flourish at the cradle of football, Old Trafford, the two parted ways faster than a ball being hoofed out during a cup final! Rumor has it that Ashworth was pushing his ‘Safe and Sound’ managerial playlist a bit too hard, preferring harmonious dressing rooms over dramatic flair, which led to a parting of the ways with Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s dispatcher squad.
With Ashworth now aboard the big FA ship as Chief Football Officer, Neville remains the pirate philosopher, reflecting on what could have been in this football fairytale of missed chances and managerial musical chairs. Meanwhile, the current captain of the United ship, Ruben Amorim, delivers rousing post-match speeches, pledging not to abandon ship even if the waters get as choppy as a bowl of pea soup! The drama of club politics is alive, and the saga continues as fans devour every twist like a pack of hungry hyenas sniffing out goal-scoring steaks!
