What is Gardening Leave? Non-compete agreements in disguise
The Inglish Group moved quickly, and just before Christmas, they officially announced that they would bring in Berada from Manchester United as CEO after they officially announced their bid for a 25% stake in Manchester United; Now, after the Premier League and the FA officially announced that English had bought a 25% stake in the team, ** have said that they want to poach England director Dan Ashworth from Newcastle.
Unlike United's quick and resolute signing of Bellada, United poached Dan Ashworth from Newcastle, which was a secret at the press conference and is not surprising given the special nature of the role of director of the club. Dan Ashworth is a player who has had a significant impact on the world of English football.
At the moment, there are two news reports on many **: first, Manchester United should pay a fine for the termination of Dan Ashworth and Newcastle; The second thing, Newcastle want Dan Ashworth to give Dan Ashworth a one-year gardener's holiday until the start of the 2025 season.
What is a florist fake? This trick is more common in the UK, when employees resign or their contracts are terminated, they are forced to leave their jobs, and during this time, Dan Ashworth and Newcastle still have a contract, Newcastle wants Dan Ashworth to enjoy social security as usual, and even give him some subsidies, while Dan Ashworth does not have to work in Newcastle, in short, this is equivalent to a disguised competitive restriction.
The biggest advantage of this is that Newcastle can avoid Dan Ashworth revealing some secrets to Manchester United, and Newcastle would be too expensive to keep a man on loan because he doesn't have much to do. Manchester United's new chief executive, Villada Berada, is also believed to be unable to play for the Reds this summer due to horticultural issues.
What are Newcastle's concerns? Dan Ashworth is well aware that Newcastle's contract, youth player profile, squad watchlist, and future recruitment plans are all under his control, and if he can get these materials, then Manchester United will have an easier time signing than Newcastle.
Don't forget, Manchester United itself is like this, Kenny already knew all the secrets of Manchester United's reinforcements when he joined Chelsea, and Mikel was abducted by Chelsea because he couldn't pick up his clothes; Mikel is not alone, even Manchester United's substitutes are worthless in front of Chelsea.
Can you please fix it? That's right, it's about spending money. According to today's news reports, Newcastle have attached a competition restriction clause to Dan Ashworth's contract, with Newcastle having the upper hand. However, another theory is that Newcastle will continue to abide by their contract unless Manchester United offer more compensation. Therefore, the garden license can also be used to buy, but it is not clear the price on the contract.
In other words, in order to sign Dan Ashworth, United must first pay a liquidated damages and then give him a fake purchase fee, if United refuse, and there are rumours that the player's transfer fee has reached $10 million, which means that United will need to spend $20 million to hire Dan Ashworth.
