You just have to hope that this ‘cost-cutting’ goes fully up the food chain and players earning £200k plus per week are also either sold or have their contract renewed at a lower wage. If they want to save money look no further at the stupid wage structure the Glazers allowed!! #MUFC - ThreadSky

Would assume that Ratcliffes real target is to slash players payroll costs. Has to be seen to looking at all costs no matter how Scrooge like it appears

And eventually the Glazers selling up too

We live in hope!

I have no doubt that we will see some major departures in the next few windows.

My disappointment is that United have always don’t things in a classy way, supporting the community.

I understand the club is losing money, but surely our billionaire owner could dip into his own pocket…

FFP won’t allow him to subsidize the losses on the books.

I doubt £40k makes that much difference to FFP?

I’m not defending their actions but if you’re trying to reset the entire operations after 20 years of negligence, the entire organization suffers and such cuts are painful. SJR isn’t making money. He could compensate through a direct contribution that is out of his personal bank account?

He didn’t become a billionaire by being altruistic and his legacy won’t endure if United are not successful on the pitch. The damage the Glazers have done has destroyed the club’s core.

I completely understand your points, the club is a mess on and off the pitch.

Maybe I’m being a little too wishful that there is some “humanity” in our billionaire owner who would consider putting his hand in his own pocket.. but heyho that’s a microcosm of society, not enough caring in the world..

I struggle to understand why people are amazed when Ratcliffe employs the same vulture capitalist tactics he has used throughout his empire building process. He's not got where he is by being a good bloke. The only good thing that can be said about him is that he's less of a twat than the Glazers.

I don’t think it matters whether it does or not. What they are doing is absolutely unconscionable,
