Manchester United has explained that their final round of dismissals, with which a maximum of 200 employees will lose their jobs, will be made to make the club profitable again.
And although the Ineos of Sir Jim Ratcliffe are also planning to close the staff canteen and serve the club fruit, club heads have made it clear that a complete restructuring of the club is to prevent the company from being a loss -making entity.
United has not wrapped a profit in the last five years, with the sanccupation of the first team that contributes to a significant decrease in sales turnover. Their absence of the Champions League also costs them matchday and commercial income.
A meeting with the staff, led by Chief Executive Omar Berrada, took place early on Monday with the club that confirmed his plans to cut the staff further and to have demolished 250 roles last year. He said it will make the club more 'skinny, agile and financially sustainable'.
And the club followed that with a statement, with reading: “The transformation plan is intended to reduce the club to profitability after five consecutive years of losses since 2019. This will create a more solid financial platform that the club can invest in gentlemen and Women's football success and improved infrastructure.
“As part of these measures, the club expects that around 150-200 jobs can be made superfluous, depending on a consultation process with employees. These would be a supplement to the 250 roles that were removed last year. “
In the meantime, Berrada added: “We have the responsibility to bring Manchester United to the strongest position to win with our men's, women's and academy teams. We start a wide range of measures that the club will transform and renew.
“Unfortunately, this means that announcing further potential dismissals and we deeply regret the impact on the affected colleagues. However, these hard choices are needed to put the club back on a stable financial foot.
“We have lost money in the last five consecutive years. This cannot continue. Our two most important priorities as a club provide success on the field for our fans and improving our facilities. We cannot invest in these objectives if we constantly lose money.
“At the end of this process we will have a more skinny, agile and financially sustainable football club, while we will continue to offer a world -class service to our valuable commercial partners.
“We will then be in a much stronger position to invest in football success and improved facilities for fans, while we meet UEFA and Premier League regulations.”
United remains in the bottom half of the Premier League table with head coach Ruben Amorim who allows the players and the first team to blame coaching staff for the job loss, because if they would perform at the highest level, the club would That is more likely to be profitable.
