I guess they’re saving on win bonuses too. Feels off? It's the same outside of football no? The rich get richer on the backs of workers who are paid minimum wage (if they're lucky!)

McDog Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Given the Glazers still own the majority of the club, all the cost savings must be causing them to chuckle with glee I would guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Brexit Jim and the Glazers are to the Mancs what Mike Ashley was to us. A never-ending stream of penny pinching coupled with negative stories and a totally demotivated squad. They are in real trouble - if not this season, next. Their name alone may not be alone enough to save them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouldy_uk Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Imagine being in the Man U press team at the moment and trying to spin Jim’s looney ideas Monday - Ticket prices going up day Tuesday - We hate disabled fans day Wednesday - You fuckers better like soup day Thursday - Sack the stewards day Friday - Reuse staple day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) 13 hours ago, midds said: 200 people being laid off earning circa £35k a year is saving £7m. That's about 6 months of Casemiro's wages. 200 families go home to an unemployed sibling/mother/father and that fat knacker is clawing in about £330k a week or whatever? No the wonder they're pissed off at the whole lot of them. It's a rotten club. It's rotten from the mouth to the arsehole It looks horrific, but the cost cutting is going to reach the players as well, and the exits of Rashford, Sancho and Antony with no replacements show this IMO. They'll be absolutely desperate to get rid of players like Casemiro. It's going to be a complete restructure with years of being very average and zero guarantees of getting anywhere close to the top again. 11 hours ago, Lazarus said: Does anyone know if hes asked the Glazers to skip their dividend payments for a year or 2? It was an agreement as part of the sale. No dividend payments until 2026 at the earliest, and that includes Ratcliffe. They haven't been paid since 2022.

I thought we went overboard complaining about Ashley at times. Considering how many clubs that have went bust or even moved from the area they played in. But that is some next level bullshit.

Disagree, obviously Hojlund would have to take a cut in wages, man U a fraction of what they paid.. However there's a good player there and with proper coaching he'll come on. Far better be on the bench for a top 5 team than a bottom half team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Osula has had more shots on goal than Hojlund this season. Hojlund is really bad for a striker, not seen anything like it for having so little shots There’s Man Utd defenders who have had more efforts on goal this season.
