At the time, British media reported that Manchester United had suspended its Ambassador contract to cut Ferguson's salary by millions of pounds. Ferguson signed a 2.16 million pound (about 3.8 billion won) global ambassador contract immediately after his retirement in 2013. However, the contract, which had been in place for about a decade, was destroyed by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Manchester United fans were not calm. They had launched a fierce attack on the club's decision to fire Ferguson before Ten Hach.
Ratcliffe is implementing a number of policies to streamline the club. Employees are also seeing their benefits decrease, starting with policies such as withdrawing executives' corporate cards and prohibiting drivers from hiring drivers. It is changing the working culture of employees and reducing the number of employees. Ratcliffe ordered employees to stop working from home and work on site, and if they didn't comply, he asked them to recognize other companies and even fired them.
It also went through restructuring. Sir Ratcliffe plans to begin rationally reorganizing the secretariat's internal structure and workforce to maximize funds for recruiting players within the financial fair play regulations. Currently, Manchester United is known to employ about 1,000 employees. It is Sir Ratcliffe's plan to reduce the number of people by 30%, or about 300, and it is being implemented.
Ratcliffe, who has solidified his image as a miser owner, continues to be tyranny. The club's finances can be solid, but the hearts of the employees who worked for Manchester United are melting with disappointment.
