Manchester United: Where to next?

[jod23]

Hahaha awesome!

What? No blank sheet of paper with the club emblem on it for him to pretend to sign?

United have more staff members than any other club in the world... Not only is that ridiculous given performance, it is inefficient and bloated. There is not enough desk space at Carrington, Mayfair or Old Trafford for the sheer number of employees United have. When people started working from home, the Glazers turned a lot of the old workspace into hospitality. As an example, United had over 100 employees in their media department FFS.

Bit of a nothing move really unless you believe in marginal gains/steroids.

Perhaps ordering the staff back into the office was a brain fart by Ratcliffe. When he realised it would lose hospitality revenue or that he would have to rent more office space he decided to cut staff numbers.

Maybe. As I said before, the operations side seems to have been pretty bloated and inefficient. Fixing up the business side of things will take a while.

Fixing the Glazers shit seems like a step in the right direction

How did the last Bayern cast off fare at Utd?

Who cares?

I don't think rationalising is a problem for United, they've apparently got a load more staff than anyone else and it would be pretty sensible for a new owner/part owner to come in and ask the question of whether they are getting value for money.

Don't think it will have much of an impact on the first team as the media is claiming but that's not necessarily a problem.

Ratfliffe off to a flying start. Sacking 250 staff members so they can buy Lukaku, selling stadium name, appointing cycling coaches, and extending Ten Haag contract. United on the move

 

[RPCB]

We now know who the Lukaku link was intended for.

A carabao cup & FA Cup isn’t so bad for a low bar, let’s see how slotty goes.

I mean at least Slot has a far better squad to work with.

Marseille have bid £27m plus a 40-50% sell on clause for Greenwood. That's a good offer imo.

But what does Greenwood want? He might be better off going on loan again and letting his contract expire in 2025.

I don't know. Do you?

 

[Frank Bunn]

I don't know. Do you?

Reading between the lines on a couple of interviews he's done I think he would like to play in the Premier League again. I don't think that's possible. So then his best option financially would be to let his United contract run out and get a big signing on bonus at his next club.

 

[Zidane98]

That's a lot of deadwood offloaded at once if INEOS can pull it off. Would help them out with PSR issues greatly.

 

[Zidane98]

Sancho seems to want Dortmund only. Dortmund only want to cough up around 25m if they can sell Adeyemi to Juve for a similar amount. - that's a big PSR hit if he goes for that price with Utd reportedly demanding 50m this summer.



Maybe Utd can loan him again for a season to postpone the PSR loss.
