Hundreds upon hundreds of people being made redundant and those remaining having to deal with fastidious penny pinching. This, I imagine is a little hard to swallow by those affected, when they spaffed how many hundreds of millions up the wall by botching the Ten Hag situation in the summer. Giving him a large transfer outlay on his signings, then paying him off and buying out Amorim's contract mid season. The money they're saving is chump change compared to what they've wasted due to incompetence even in Ineos' time there.

Let them eat fruit: Manchester United close staff canteen in latest cost-cutting
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is to close the staff canteen at Old Trafford and replace the free lunches currently on offer with fruitwww.theguardian.com
Reminiscent of the qpr film where Bernie ecclestone walks into the dressing room before a game and complains that they’re spending too much money on bottled water and sports hydration drinks!
Always worth a watch if anyone hasn’t seen it. How not to run a football club.

Loving it united are in the mire. Remember getting a taxi to united ground when we played them mid 90s. Taxi driver went on and on and on about united the entire journey. Paid driver exact fare and said to him I would have given you a tip but you bored us shitless about man utd.
5 European Cups is pretty good going for a fraud.
What about the poor sods with umbrellas and tarpaulins up on the roof at OT everytime it rains ; as the old saying goes “ you don’t know what you got ‘til it’s gone “ .
False economy if you ask me .
Still , Sir Jim obviously knows what he’s doing…
PS : Just waiting to see how he reacts when he finds out the club are still paying George Best ( RIP)
20 grand a week for “ match-day hospitality duties “ .

That Ratcliffe dude is a fucking slimy wanker. He makes Levy look like a great people person.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
I can't help but marvel at it; Ratcliffe spent the past twenty years or more flirting with buying a Premier club, but backing off because the details weren't right or the price was too dear, only to find himself in this car crash.

Some redcafe tips for further cost saving measures 
Players cutting holes in their socks and giving shirts away should have to pay for that kit that won't be reused.
There is no need for Amorim, nor the physios and set piece coaches and the rest of the hangers on that sit on the bench to be dressed in matching club tracksuits. If they want a tracksuit they can pay for it, they can attend matches in their own jeans and a pullover.
Hiring of a plane for mid week European games, absolutely excessive. Go on EasyJet, and if they have missed the last flight back because of the time of the game, sleep on the seats at the airport and get the early flight back. That is usually the cheapest anyway.
I see no reason for anybody on the coaching or support staff other than Amorim and the physio to travel to away games. I've never seen one of them get up and do anything, and all our games are televised, they can watch from home.
Travel to away games need to be coach. Flying down to London or the South coast, again an absolute waste of money when coach hire is relatively cheap.
Why do we need pay Alan Keegan to be an announcer at Old Trafford ? One of the subs is perfectly capable of taking the mike and doing that.
Professional grounds man ! Look at how many people in Manchester have a lawn mower and probably aren't using it on a Friday, or Tuesday. We could ask for volunteers to use their mowers and trim the grass once a week. Set up a rota with the players, I'm sure most of them live in a house with a lawn.
One of the players can take it in turns to take the kit home after each game, have their Mrs wash it and bring it back for the next match.
Instead of using The Lowry before match-days, the players should be made to sleep in temporary tents at the ground to save expense.
When we are away, they should be housed in the nearest trailer park.

Getting rid of Rashford was bad timing considering he could have helped them kick off a free canteen meals campaign.
