All on an average of £155,000 per year….move along nothing to see here.

Makes you wonder how a business could survive losing 450 of its workforce? I wouldn't have thought that a football club had that many employees that weren't part of the playing side of things.

What is that going to do in how the club operates though? The remaining staff could have their work loads expanded drastically which won’t help with morale and the standard of work they do. The scouting of players which they desperately need will be nowhere near the required level to keep up with other clubs. Fewer coaches on less money in their youth set up means the standard of raggy youngsters coming into the first team or being sold on for profit will get worse than it already is.

How do they move on failures like Sancho and Rashford? There won’t be many takers with the money they want. If they already looking to spend over a £100 million on Cunha and the lad from Brentford where do they recoup their money from as the only player worth something says he’s staying.

Never watch……..all bollocks for the great unwashed cunts

Good for there accounts to say that was what they were getting

You can't blame Slyman Stone. It is easy journalism for him. Rags just keep sending him a briefing and all he has to do is 'write' it up and post it. Money for old rope as they say.

Niel Ashton says hi

Chelsea giving them £5 million rather than buy Sancho for £23 million , but he was going to be a fantastic signing according to sky/bbcsports ha ha ha

The Sancho money is going to be their equivalent of Liverpool's Coutinho money.

I've no idea what all those sacked actually did.

I'd assume all the bar/waiting staff and most of the security aren't on the direct pay roll anyway and like ourselves are agency zero hours people.

I've just looked quickly at his last 50 stories. 37 on united, 13 on other clubs (and a couple of those were about Spurs and the Europa League final).

They will have a lot of staff servicing their commercial partners. City have had a huge increase in staff levels in recent years mainly involved in the same area. Hopefully it will backfire on the rags as partners move on if ghe level of expected service is no longer available to them.

Is he finally joining his favourite club?

This version.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

I see they have Sancho back and £5m compo from Chelsea - double win :)

Imagine being that shit and that much of a **** that a club is willing to pay 5 million quid NOT to sign you.

The Sancho saga always makes me laugh. Guardiola saw right through the little twat within 5 mins of walking through the door when Sancho was still in the youth team.

Nobody is perfect but that kind of razor sharp knowledge is what sets him apart from every other manager on the planet.

At the time the media and other fans were banging on about City "losing" him and him "tearing up" the Bundesliga. My reaction back then was always that Guardiola had seen a massive rotten apple there and lo and behold, there you go.

past few days ?

Probably sign a temu version called Donearunner with his £400,000 a week

"There's a player over here with a name that sounds a bit like Haaland, got to be worth a punt"

"This wonder kid has a name that sounds a bit like 'Man U', he's destined to be a club legend, crack open the cash!"

HYS is full of loads of people saying it….which is driving up engagement and suggesting the drivel is popular. Welcome to modern journalism.

What pisses me off is how the bbc (Could have been Sky), through Simon Stone, have weaved a positive narrative around that shite.
Basically their best player wants to leave a failing United, for lots of money, to the Middle East, a place they currently hate.

Thats been turned into, how Fernandez wouldnt leave utd for any amount of money, Amorin is in control, Its not utds fault in fact they tried to keep him! One big love in where everyone wins. They should write scripts.

You have to hold you’re hands up to United’s PR department for the utter bullshit they spread without a sign of embarrassment
