Is it me or is Jim Ratcliffe completely mad? 200 more staff to be made redundant...

"Free lunches will no longer be provided for staff at Old Trafford, saving more than £1m a year" F*ck £1m a year or like two weeks of one of your hideously underperforming team member's wages. Why don't you sack them? Massive saving.

"The club's latest financial results showed they spent £14.5m on sacking Erik ten Hag, his coaching staff and former sporting director Dan Ashworth during Ratcliffe's first full season as co-owner." Okay so now I see why you can't feed your remaining staff anymore. Another example of honest working people being thrown under the bus to protect the wealth earning elite.

Is this guy some kind of hideous F*ckwit (I know, allegedly) or what? Answers on a postcard please.

Never knowingly right.

Without wanting to stray into any modern shouting match about politics on the internet, just because someone is very good at running one business does not mean they are therefore good at running all businesses, football clubs, or government agencies (cough cough).

Find it amusing that people are able to see this easily with Ratcliffe and not with others. What % of football club owners run their club in a sustainable, successful way? 10%? Less? They’re egotistical billionaires, exploiting the common man is basically their MO


Ego is the driver for sure.
Success in business gives you a nice lifestyle but no one approaches you for a handshake an autograph or a selfie . You dont get to walk around being applauded by thousands , mixing with great players , interviewed in a sport context on TV and radio .

Thats why the biggest sanction we as fans have on them is ridicule and embarrassment .

The usual Premier League bullshit pumped into the media to wind everyone up. Ratcliffe is just the latest soap opera baddie parachuted in for this story line.

Surely everyone knows it's a circus based on Monopoly money.

There'll even be players in development squads at Man U with no chance of ever making the first team who'll be on anything from £250k - £500k per year and yet its the poor sods on £30k a year who get fired.

Ridiculous situation but entirely their own making.

A classic example of someone knowing the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

One of the biggest shames in football is teenage lads being dragged out of school, handed millions of pounds, told they're going to be the next big thing, and then more often than not dumped in their mid 20s, with no education, having been given no guidance on what to do with that money.

This lad always sticks in my mind. Bang average footballer, played non league his whole life in the end, but as a junior was highly rated in the Sheff Utd academy. Killed some poor bastard on the M1 driving to his loan at Southampton in a super high power Mercedes. What is a teenager with 0 (0) appearances for Sheff Utd doing with a car like that?

I couldn't help but notice Harrison Ashby's watch in those Westfield pics last week. If you know your watches...
