Since taking over the day-to-day operations at the club, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his collaborators haven’t been afraid to implement drastic measures in their vigorous attempts to cut costs. This includes sending 250 employees packing, reducing Christmas bonuses and raising ticket prices.
Perhaps the supporters would have been more tolerant had they seen positive results on the pitch, but with Ruben Amorim’s men lingering in the bottom half of the table, the mood at Old Trafford is at an all-time low.
For his part, Scholes brought one the fan within him, as only a player who spent his entire playing career at Carrington could. The 50-year-old insisted that INEOS have yet to achieve a single positive thing since taking over the club a year ago, while labelling the ticket prices as ridiculous.
“Sixty-six pounds for a ticket is ridiculous. If you think of Manchester, there are so many deprived areas and Sir Jim Ratcliffe himself is from Failsworth, which is a deprived area,” said the legendary midfielder during his appearance on The Overlap Fan Debate (via The Telegraph).
