Gary Neville asks Sir Jim Ratcliffe by decision to reduce the money of former players before offering a solution that Man United's co -owner admits that he would support

Gary Neville told Sir Jim Ratcliffe that he was not a fan of his decision to reduce the money of the former players, saying that there was a better to do so.

In a brutally frank series of interviews, the minority owner spoke about a series of issues, revealing that United could have been broken by Christmas if he had not reduced costs; Ruben Amorim will return the success to the club and win the title in the next three years; It was a mistake to give Erik had a new contract and hire Dan Ashworth, since the sports director and United will announce plans to build a new stadium of £ 2 billion.

Ratcliffe embarked on a financial and branch financial review after taking a participation in the club last year.

In December it was reported that cost reduction measures would continue to cancel a charity donation for club legends.

United donated £ 40,000 every year to a non -profit organization established to help former players such as Bryan Robson, Brian Kidd and Denis Irwin.

The Association of former Manchester United players was founded in 1985 to support the players who did not do the delicious salaries of the modern era.

Gary Neville called Sir Jim Ratcliffe for his decision to stop reducing money for former players

“£ 40,000 of the Association of former players were taken,” Neville told Ratcliffe. 'Now that are not the players who played with Sir Alex or even the last 10 years. They are players of the 1960s and 70s.

'I just look that and I think there are £ 40,000 of players who are returning a lot to the local community.

Obviously they are great supporters of United. Why not look at those £ 40,000 and put Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes at a dinner? Sell ​​a couple of thousands of tickets for 30, 40, 50 Quid. Lift the money through a dinner, maybe make a raffle and an auction.

'Give the former players their money and do it in a way in which it does not seem to be a cruel decision that is. Why would that not be seen as a list of purchases of things that have a health warning? They are former players. They are people who have given the club a lot. Why would that decision not be made?

Ratcliffe seemed a bit surprised before answering “well, nobody suggested because he would have supported that.”

'The people of the club, you know most of them. They are not cruel or ruthless people.

Ratcliffe admitted that Neville had a point during the interview in the overlap

“But it's 40 thousand dollars,” Neville continued. 'Harry and Bruno can get to dinner and raise money. Why didn't the current players put a great for them?

'Things like this if they occurred to these guys who have dedicated so much time to the club for so many years. Why can't we restore that?

“Maybe we can not know, I can take a look at that,” Ratcliffe replied. “I am not aware of that level of detail to be honest.”
