You have to sympathise with the people losing their jobs as the rags announce there will be another 250 redundancies. But I have no sympathy with their fans or with the club itself. They are in dire straits and have brought this on themselves. The Glazers pulled off the leveraged buy out, sacked the board in favour of themselves and approved the debt being taken on by the club. Since then, they have paid a fortune in debt interest, about a billion £, in fees and divis to themselves and neglected the stadium to the point of collapse.
They have never appointed anybody to run the football side who had any knowledge. Remember when Woodward said: “Our performance on the field has no effect on our financial health.” Really?
They finally appointed a Director of Football and brilliantly sacked him three months later. Meanwhile, Ineos people are making football decisions.
It will take 10 years to recover but Sir Jim says they will win the UCL in three! Jim lad, you couldn’t win a tiddlywinks in three years.
Sorry lads, you are fucked.
