They sacked 250 staff to make savings. Ignoring any redundancy payments, if the average pay was as high as £40k, they saved £10m in wages.
Then they sacked the manager and his staff - after giving him a vote of confidence - who'd spent £200m recently on more shite players - then appointed the new man, and the cost of this exercise was the best part of £25m.
Now, they've sacked the Director of Football they'd chased - and paid loads for - and will have had to pay up on his contract after just 5 months. That exercise - £5-10M?
The financial mismanagement is off the scale.
Then, they have the temerity to tell their unwashed hordes, "Sorry - no more concessionary ticket prices; minimum entry forthwith is £66 each."
How the fuck does scruffy Jim manage to accumulate £1B with financial acumen like this?
Maybe he's not been wearing his adding-up head just lately - someone tell him that it's the one with the red and white bucket hat on top, with the straw-hair sticking out of it.
Scum.

There’s a long history of successful businessmen who lose their heads when taking on their favourite club. Peter Ridsdale of Leeds bankrupted them but he “lived the dream”.
