That report states...Scruffy Jim has brought in his favourite hatchet men at the swamp, and it looks like club staff will pay the price big time, sadly there are hundreds of redundancies on the way. Apparently he's twigged how shite the squad is, and the average cost of a half decent player being what ? £75m.
So all in all, they only need a new manager, a new training ground, a new stadium, a new squad, new PL rules that help them but stop other clubs competing and new investment partners.
No wonder he can't stop grovelling around Khaldoon, he's desperate to know how to run a world class football club.

“Cost savings will help the club comply with FFP/PSR rules because there are limits on the losses clubs are allowed to make, and the more profitable a club is, the greater the headroom for investment in players,” a United insider is reported to have said to the Telegraph. “So reducing costs has a direct link to how much we can invest in the squad"
If that's the case and FFP/PSR is going to lead to hundreds of job losses then City's unsubstantiated 115 charges pale into insignificance.
The media should be all over that story rather than constantly gunning for City.
