Rob W 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Jobs are cut at Manchester United Manchester United is to cut 25 jobs following a major structural review. Staff were told of the redundancies - which affect administrative departments including IT, finance and secretarial positions - at Old Trafford on Tuesday. The losses amount to 5% of the club's workforce but United denies they are due to Malcolm Glazer's £790m takeover. Chief executive David Gill launched an internal review in an attempt to find more money to cover the loss of £8m in television revenue. Loss of revenue The club received less cash from the FA Premier League TV deal this year. The club finished fourth in the table of Premiership earnings from TV and prize mone y after it brought in £44.4m. "We have carried out a review of costs and a review of structure and we believe the new arrangement is more efficient and is a better way of meeting the company's needs going forward," club spokesman Phil Townsend said. The conversion of the club from PLC status to private membership has meant some jobs are no longer needed. The club hopes all losses can be covered by people taking voluntary redundancy.

Gemmill 43841 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Aye I heard this on the radio. 600 further jobs to go apparently. It does make you wonder what these 600 people are doing at a football club. That sounds like a massive workforce to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
