I think most would agree your views on WFH are misinformed, but anyway…
Man Utd is a large company like any other. The football side is one element, the rest will be normal business type stuff you’d find anywhere.

Are you really asking people for evidence after posting this...
Coming back to the Man Utd element, Ratcliffe is likely doing this to try and reduce staff numbers in general. I imagine a significant number of employees may have changed living arrangements based around WFH, so can't just pop back into the office - offices which are not currently fit for purpose due to a lack of capacity, by the way.
It was reported a few months ago that they were looking at massively cutting back the amount of staff the club have, this is just part of that.

I know Evans has done OK considering his age, but we really need to be looking toward younger players... I suppose it might make sense if he's fairly cheap.

Most were hoping for a nice big paydaythe guy seems like a bafoon that can’t send an email correctly!!
I think Ratcliffe has played it smart, he knew Newcastle were in a financial bind and appears to have exploited that.
That said, nobody has reported a compensation figure. I can’t remember what was offered initially but they’ve probably met somewhere in the middle.
It’s good that he’s starting immediately too. Let’s see if he lives up to his reputation!
Only a matter of time before Southgate gets the Manu job now that Ashworth at Manu
Thankfully England have been so bad I doubt there's little chance of that ever happening, not that it was likely in the first place.
Official.

We really don't know, the terms are supposed to be remaining confidential, so you can dream that it's £20m and we'll think it's £2m.
Anyway, he's in place pretty much as planned for July. A good result.

Good to see the new footballing structure is in place. Hopefully this will transform the club, they've certainly been radical.
And we also have two new assistants/coaches for Ten Hag, Rene Hake and Van Nistelrooy.
Redundancies also being made now, a shame for those losing their jobs.

New contract for ETH, notably only until June 2026, so not a long extension. Rightly so.

Good to see Ashworth commenting publicly too.

Ok well late to the party I didn't notice there was a sport section in ocuk. Only been here for like 20+ years.
Ten Hag get his contract extended 2026. What the consensus with Man U fans??
Rather than go over it all again, bit of light reading for you
Erik ten Hag Sack Watch & Next Manchester United Manager?
As things are set to intensify this week, I thought we should have a focused thread rather than using the FA Cup and club threads. Current situation - INEOS conducting a review this week, with ETH set to be sacked, according to well placed sources. However, the FA Cup win could have thrown a...

The long and short of it is, I think he should have been sacked, but I am optimistic under the new footballing structure and happy to give him another shot. Things will need to improve seriously rapidly though.
Sancho back. Not sure he won't leave in the end but:
During the conversations, the pair reflected on past issues, and both agreed to draw a line and move on.

Man Utd stadium plans: Club favour building new 100,000-capacity stadium rather than redeveloping Old Trafford
Man Utd looking to build a new stadium rather than redevelop Old Trafford; new stadium would be built on club-owned land adjacent to Old Trafford and elevate community; it is reported a 100,000-seater stadium has been recommended, which would make it the largest in the UK
I feel pretty optimistic too. ETH has been backed and there are no excuses now. Another season of injury woe simply won't wash and he'll be out the door if performances are consistently poor. I think the optimism is mainly down to the fact we have a CEO and directors who know football, and are desperate to succeed.
Also, it does appear we've assembled a pretty strong squad with a number of exciting players. Bruno is among the very best, Mainoo and Garnacho look superstars already, and Amad/Hojlund show promise. I'm hoping Zirkzee will make a good start too. There are plenty of options in defence now, even if we do have a few injuries.
