West Brom say a lot of people have expressed an interest in becoming their new sporting and technical director but that they are in no rush to make an appointment.
Transfer plans in place
And Ashworth also revealed that the Baggies already have their plans in place for the transfer window next summer.
"We've filled all the slots we planned to and, short of any injuries or fantastic offers on players we're prepared to listen to, I can't really see us doing an awful lot in January," he said.
"The window closed on 31 August and, on 1 September, an internal email went round the club saying 'here are our summer targets'.
"If the right ones come up in January, ready for our summer business, either on pre-contracts, which we can do from abroad, players in the last six months of their contract, or an incredible deal is available, we know the positions we want to strengthen for next season."
