2023/24 Jarrad Branthwaite

[Tony’s Carp]

Really starting to get an unhealthy dislike for that Ratcliffe.

I didn’t think you could get more scumbaggy than some of the scumbags already in football but this guy’s found a whole new level.

It's a bit odd him buying Man Utd, he seems a perfect fit for them lot over the park.

I’ve not been following Ratcliffe closely but I believe his actions so far have been:

- deprioritising the Man Utd women’s team
- telling Forest, Everton and others to realise how important the ‘big 6’ are
- putting non-playing staff at United up for redundancy
- trying to buy Branthwaite for the price of a good Championship player

He seems to deride the heritage of the game, and to constantly be trying to put people in their place, if he considers them less important than him.

I've never had any love for Man United but they used to at least be an institution with a bit of pride, now they're laying off 25% of their staff and cryarsing in the media all because they simply can't afford the footballers they believe they're entitled to. Pathetic.

Devil's advocate - can someone tell me what a football club needs a thousand employees for? Most Prem clubs seem to get by with far fewer.

100% agree with this about Ratcliffe, mind.

Any cost savings through cutting roles that have been present for more than X years should be excluded from benefitting PSR position, at least for one year, or even a 3 year cycle. Thats not the way to do it. Welcomed into the club like a saviour too. Yuck.

To be fair to Jim, a lot of those layoffs seem to be financial consultants and the like that are paid crazy money to do F all. They very well could have been dead weight left over by the previous administration hence the comments on the club not being run properly. But I agree- no owner should be incentivized by PSR to fire people. That is just a really bad look.

Dear Manchester Utd,

Get f'ed....

Funny thing is he’s only a minority shareholder, 27%.

It’s a bit weird their situation to be honest. They are giving him ALOT of control. Maybe the other shareholders know they have no idea what they are doing so they are passing the bill to the rich guy.

I don’t know exactly how these things work but if they lay off a bunch of workers wouldn’t the cost of the one-off redundancy payments be a far bigger hit in the accounts than the wages saved? So in terms of 24/25 PSR wouldn’t that leave them worse off?
