Although the Premier League is the most commercialized league in world football and the league with the highest ability to attract money, there are also problems with the operation of individual clubs, such as Manchester United, which has the highest brand value in the world. Manchester United has had many problems under the management of the Glazer family in recent years, not only in terms of management, but also in terms of results. This time, after the arrival of new shareholders, it was finally decided to carry out a drastic reform, and Manchester United were about to have a tight time.
According to the British media, Manchester United is trying to reduce spending by all means, and one of the important steps is to lay off employees, Manchester United will lay off at least 250 employees in the next few weeks, these employees come from various positions, and the post department will also undergo a series of streamlinings. Although the layoffs were large and the departments were streamlined, they did not have a negative effect on the club's management. In addition, Manchester United's summer trip to the United States also has to strictly control costs, one of which is to reduce the budget in terms of accommodation.
Manchester United's pre-season tour in the United States was intended to make money, and it was supposed to be an opportunity to enjoy travel and make money, but Manchester United arranged budget hotels in terms of accommodation. This pre-season tour Manchester United is the Beverly Hills SLS Hotel, although the lowest room rate is as high as 357 pounds a night, that is, about 3,300 yuan, but in Beverly Hills is a budget hotel, the specifications are not high in the local area. You must know that last year's standard of accommodation in Beverly Hills was much higher than 357 pounds, and Arsenal is also in Beverly Hills this year, living in the high-end Seasons Hotel, with a price of 773 pounds per night, or 7200 yuan, more than 2 times the budget of Manchester United.
Although both teams live in Beverly Hills, the gap is quite obvious, and I don't know what kind of psychological gap the Manchester United players will have now. Of course, Arsenal's current performance and value are better than Manchester United, and the owner Kroenke is no longer the stingy owner, and the investment in the team has reached the top in the Premier League and even Europe.
There is actually nothing wrong with Manchester United's approach, even fans can see that the club has been rotten to the root in the past 10 years. There are reforms and measures that are good, but I am afraid that if we don't do anything, the club will only get worse and worse, and now there are these measures at least trying, and there is still some hope for people. The purpose of drastically reducing spending is to invest more in the right place, staying in a luxury hotel does not necessarily mean that the players will get better rest and training, but the savings can be used to give them a salary increase, or buy players, which can directly improve the strength of the team.
