On the ‘pricing out working class’ point, I’ve been priced out for years. Haven’t been able to afford buying a ticket directly since I stopped being a junior member. It’s been a middle class and up game since I’ve been watching unfortunately, but a by-product of this - my local team have been getting record attendances recently. People picking non-league over premier league, most notably loads more kids (United and City tops)
Ineos have made some major mistakes so far. Keeping Ten Hag after the FA cup win, only to sack him after a summer spending spree.
Bringing in a sporting director at a huge cost, only to sack him a few months later.
An absolutely bizarre hike in prices for match going fans, including children, alienating the youth from Old Trafford.
And laying off over two hundred staff dropping the moral to rock bottom.
Hardly an auspicious start.
Pattern: Ronaldo gets half way through a thought, one of the other lads goes to interrupt him, he speaks faster and louder and rushes through what he says then the others respond with something like yeah that's a good point. a) Let him finish. b) talk faster my man!
Frustrating how only the players are given the longest ropes at this club when they are the biggest problem.

The outsourcing data thing is so funny. It's kinda like sacking Amorim for refusing to drive the team bus.

Really just hoping this is all short term pains for long term gains.
