Manchester United is reportedly planning to dismiss a hugely popular staff member as part of the continuous restructuring in the club by Ineos.
Mail Sport exclusively revealed on Tuesday how Sir Jim Ratcliffe is planning to continue cost -saving measures at Old Trafford, with more than 100 employees who are made superfluous.
This is after the club agreed around 250 employees last year, while several other money -saving measures have recently been implemented.
This included canceling free coaching trips for staff to last year's FA Cup final, cutting back on ambassador salaries, increasing ticket prices, while Ratcliffe also decided to put an end to the £ 2 million a year of SIR Alex Ferguson with the club.
And according to The Times, United has now decided to dismiss the long -term Jackie Kay, who has been working at the club since 1995.
Kay's upcoming departure was described as 'brutal', with the popular staff member head of team operations earlier as an executive assistant to David Gill. She also spent a period that was in charge of First Team Logistics on the club's training field.
The report is claimed that both United players and a succession of managers were large fans of Kay, who was labeled as the 'oil in the machine' in the club.
It is said that Kay was informed of her departure last week, with her exit as part of a broader revision of performance under Sir Dave Brailsford and Jason Wilcox, although it is not supposed to be linked to the last fired.
The staff were supposed to be 'upset' with the news, with many who emphasized how Kay had given her life to the club '.
Former United star Ashley Young has previously paid a tribute to Kay and claims that she is the unfortunate hero on the United training field.
“She's just brilliant,” he said. “She is like the mother for everyone. If there are problems or there is something we have to sort out, it is a case of “Jackie you can do this”, “Jackie can help you with this”.
“I am sure there are times when she looks at her phone when he ring and she has to think:” No, I don't answer “. But she is always there for you. '
The newest cuts come with the review of Ineos in the club. United had 1,112 employees before Ratcliffe took a quarter interest in the club early last year, which was by far the largest in the Premier League and was considerably higher than the rest of the Big Six. For example, Manchester City employed 520 in the same period.
The move is aimed at freeing cash for Ruben Amorim to spend on the first team, while they want to bring the club back to its former glory. Despite record income, United has lost £ 300 million in the last three years.
The perception is that the field costs on and out of the field remain high. Ratcliffe has injected around £ 241 million, which helps with the development of Carrington, but there are fundamental issues within Old Trafford that need to be tackled.
The club is also considering moving to a new stadium with 100,000 capacity or to perform a large-scale renovation of Old Trafford-and will have to find the money to do this.
Employees are not supposed to be aware of the latest dismissal proposals. The news is expected to be formally broken to them at a certain point in the near future. It is thought that no definitive numbers have been decided.
All areas of the company are aimed at possible savings. The aim is to make the company slimmer and to ensure that all focus is on offering Amorim of the funds needed to strengthen.
Compliance with United of the Premier League profit and sustainability rules (PSR) is also at the forefront of thinking.
