Manchester United is not a gasoline terminal! A landslide critic of the Red Devils Shareholders

Gilabola.com – Sharp criticism again hit Manchester United’s management, this time came from David Murray, the former owner of Glasgow Rangers who had almost bought half of the shares of the British giant club.

He described Jim Ratcliffe’s latest policy at Old Trafford as an action “Shoot Your Head Stuff,” or in his free translation: a completely unreasonable decision.

Murray, who was very close to the Manchester United ownership chair in 1989, told to Mail Sport That what is happening now at the club is a form of serious dysfunction.

He highlighted the contrast between operational savings and waste on the other side, by mentioning that how could a person like Casemiro receive a salary of Rp 8.2 billion per week, while at the same time the canteen staff lost lunch and the dining room was closed.

Jim Ratcliffe, who is now controlling one third of the club’s shares, did indeed carry out a number of operational budget cuts. He reportedly replaced a free staff lunch with fruits and maintaining his decision by stating that during his life he had never received free lunch from anyone.

Murray, this kind of thing hurts the values ​​that make up clubs such as Manchester United, which according to him grew because of the collective power of workers and supporters, not only because of financial statements.

Historical traces that almost change United

In the story of the past that returned to the autobiography of Mettle, Murray revealed that he was once close to take over 50 percent of Manchester United’s shares from the club’s head of the club, Martin Edwards.

He has even appointed a marketing team to draw up a merger plan between United and Rangers, with various ideas such as the concentration of banking facilities, saving administrative costs, to cooperation in car contracts for players.

But the ambitious plan failed to materialize after the Scottish soccer authority rejected the idea of ​​cross -country ownership between two big clubs.

Murray also admitted that he refused a collateral request from Michael Knighton, his business partner at the time, who wanted to guarantee his castle in Scotland which turned out to be inadequate value.

Now, when he saw from a distance, Murray could not hold back his comments on the current condition of Manchester United. He said that this was not a matter of gasoline or refinery like Grangemouth, but a matter of soccer business, and what made clubs like Rangers and United large were people who worked for him, not just a shareholder.

With a number of players who are still paid large even though their performance is minimal, and the reduction of facilities for staff, the voices of criticism as said by Murray further emphasized that the problem in the body Red Devil Not only technical, but also touches the moral dimension and culture of the football club.
