After lunch on Monday, the controversial staff of Manchester United will sit down and delete the last round of Savage Job Cuts of Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Some will be personal at Old Trafford to hear the bad news. Others will call remotely at 2.30 pm to find out how Ineos is planning to achieve their 'core objective to help United win again, what transformation requires on and next to the field', according to an e -mail sent to employees .
There is a danger to another 200 jobs, which would mean that more than a third of the staff were agreed since Ineos took over football activities a year ago.
The plan is to invest a significant part of the savings in the first team, as if not enough money has been plowed to pay the transfer costs and wages of one of the worst united parties in living memory.
You see, saving money is one thing, but it is wise to spend something completely different.
Earlier this month, Ruben Amorim admitted that the staff will pay the prize for the shortcomings of United on the field with their jobs – 'We spend the money, we are not winning' – and here in Goodison Park there was further proof of the almost criminal waste From recent years.
A united team continued to escape in 15th place in the Premier League table from Goodison Park during their last visit to this beautiful old stadium with a point that they hardly earned, thanks to an unlikely comeback of the second half and a penalty in the injury in the injury They went they went. way.
A united team that was surpassed and surpassed by a reviving Everton side that is supported by the return of David Moyes.
A United team that screams for creativity for the goal after Marcus Rashford and Antony would go on loan in January without signing replacements.
Amorim's only offensive option on the couch in Goodison Park next to Alejandro Garnacho Alejandro Garnacho was Teen Rookie Chido Obi. It was astonishing that he left Garnacho there for 62 minutes before OBI got his second senior outing eight minutes later.
Only when the wing player of Argentina rose and Bruno Fernandes allowed to play a deeper role that United started to play.
Garnacho won the two free kicks that resulted in Fernandes that Jordan Pickford defeated from the edge of the box and Manuel Ugarte Volleying in his first united goal to make up for Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure Everton had given an impressive lead for half -time.
Both goals came from second balls that underline the greater appetite and aggression of Everton.
The side of Moyes could still have gained it deep in the added time when referee Andy Madley granted a penalty after Ashley Young went under a challenge of Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire, then reversed his decision after he was advised to check again for The pitchside monitor.
It is 13 years ago that Sir Alex Ferguson had a quiet word with young diving. Has the reputation of the former united man been counted against him?
Perhaps it would have been a soft fine, but there was no clear and obvious error to justify the VAR that the decision on the field canceled.
It certainly felt as if United had come away again at the end of a week with one in which Mail Sport revealed that some players are losing confidence in the methods of Amorim. Every success, she thinks, is due to happiness instead of planning.
A second full week of working on the Training Pitch in Carrington still produced confused performance after the defeat in Tottenham.
Amorim insisted that he did not change anything during the break and only told the players to better implement the plan that was present from the start.
But there are times when United looks like they make up for it when they continue.
“For me it is confused.com,” Alan Shearer told the game of the day. “I'm not sure if they know what they are doing.
“I really look at the players and think they have trouble understanding what the manager wants and needs.”
Amorim's side is at home at Ipswich in Old Trafford on Wednesday evening. They must prevent a team from being in third place in the Premier League and managed by former United coach Kieran McKenna-from the 13-point gap between the two clubs and draging United to serious relegation problems.
Although that scenario still feels unthinkable, Amorim spoke again on Saturday in Goodison Park about 'survival' for the rest of the season.
Some poor employees who wait to learn their fate on Monday may be lucky to last so long.
