Newcastle United's new sporting director Dan Ashworth has given fans an insight as to why he chose to join the Magpies, labelling the north east outfit a 'monster' of a football club.
The 51-year-old left his role at Brighton and Hove Albion earlier this year and went on gardening leave before the two clubs agreed a deal for his release. The Premier League approved the move earlier this week.
Giving his first interview since starting his new role, Ashworth admitted he has admired the club from afar in his previous roles and can't wait to get started with the new ownership.
