Manchester United has reportedly warned the staff that they can be fired if they leak information.
United has been considered considerably since Sir Jim Ratcliffe was partly last year, with various cost -saving measures that have been implemented.
Mail Sport only revealed earlier this month how Ratcliffe is planning to make more than 100 employees superfluous, which comes after the club cleared around 250 employees last year – and several other money -saving actions took place.
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.
Many of these movements have been reported or emerged in the media in advance and according to De Telegraaf, United CEO Omar Berrada has now launched a probe in the supposed leaks.
Within an e-mail of 580 words sent to the staff, he explained that revealing club information to external sources will be seen as 'coarse misconduct', something that people can dismiss.
The report claims that staff has been informed 'additional measures' are created to prevent information from leaking before the club officially announces changes.
“Anyone who announces information outside the club has been breaching his obligations of confidentiality, and we are very clear that this is considered coarse misconduct,” said the e -mail of Berrada, according to De Telegraaf.
“To protect the club and its colleagues, additional measures are taken to prevent future infringements of confidentiality and also to identify the responsible persons.”
According to the government's guidelines, the work of personnel can be terminated for 'gross misconduct' if that correct procedures are followed.
Within the e -mail it is said that Bercrada acknowledges the difficult situation that many employees are in the big cuts in the club.
However, he also insisted on reporting approaches from outside the club and warned that 'journalists are extremely good at home in collecting information from multiple sources', which emphasizes WhatsApp, telephone and social media as potential contact resources.
The report adds that there is great concern at the club on sensitive information that is shared in the public domain.
United will hold a meeting on Monday when further plans to reduce costs and increase income will be shared.
The club has not commented on the reported e -mail, although it is assumed that it is all part of their attempts to change behavior on and next to the field to help the club win again.
In the meantime, the newest cuts with the review of Ineos in the club are coming. 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.
This week it was also revealed that United's decision to get rid of manager Erik ten Hag and sports director Dan Ashworth cost the club £ 14.5 million.
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 carry out a large-scale renovation of Old Trafford-and will have to find the money to do this.
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.
