He’s not a Billionaire for nowt is Sir Jim.

He’s obviously took a deep dive into everything and found too many hanger ons who do very little to justify their income, Fergie included.

How can he do all this with only a 27.7% stake in Man U.

How can he do all this with only a 27.7% stake in Man U.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe bought 27.7% of Manchester United for a reported £1.3billion, with a agreement
that he has sporting control, so therefore 100% of football operations.
The Glazer's agreed to this deal, where as they can just sit back, & count the profits.

Out of the 250 staff getting the boot, one bloke had been at the club 25 years, so much for loyalty.

Fair play to him I say maybe if they didn’t give Sir Alex 2 mill a year freebie meals and cars not to mention stupid fees and wages they’d have been able to keep the 250 poor souls on

Football is about 22 blokes trying to boot a piece of leather into a net. Look where this simple pursuit ended up. Truly Orwellian. I'm glad we are still in touch with reality at RUFC even if it's often grim. The soul of the game lives on with us although other clubs have been consigned to the dustbin because of money men. I hate the Premier League

[UlleyMiller]

It's laughable he was getting £2m a year to shake a few hands. It's more laughable that he turned a club without a league championship in a generation, a 44,000 capacity stadium, and a sale value of £20m into what it is today, and he didn't automatically get a lifetime deal to provide more than £2m a year.

But yeah, as above, I also hate the PL and most of what it stands for. They kill our game too.
