People are listening to more media BS. Look at more creditable sources, he's stepping down from the role cause he's 83 and can no longer manage the demands. His decision frees up 2 million and that's it....Classless clowns running the club. As mentioned by others, he fully earned it. Even the Glazers recognized he made them a fortune, what does saving 2m really achieves for a club like United?
I really dislike Ratcliffe. You'd think an English man who grew up supporting the club would know better. feck him.
So do I. we couldn't have been bought by a worse owner. He is just an English Glazer. Nice fc are also shit and have managed feck all since he bought them.Classless clowns running the club.

Bollocks. Where is SAF's announcement then?, If it is his decision, and he is stepping down he would have made an announcement. Before the news of his sackingPeople are listening to more media BS.

SaF will be there on Sunday as he still retains his status on the board with all the privileges that he deserves...

Club sources said there was no acrimony over the decision, with Sir Jim having met Ferguson in person to say the club could no longer sustain the ambassador payments
Yeah but haters gonna hate? And the media LOVE a United story… saves them doing any real work.People are listening to more media BS.

There has been no official announcement full stop from anyone. If he's been sacked, you think this proud Scotsman will be in the stand on Saturday? Let's see shall we...Bollocks.

He's not stepping down from anything. This ambassadorial role he had didn't demand anything of him. It was just meant to honor him and reward him for his impact on the club.People are listening to more media BS.

Credible......are you for real? If you listened to sky, we'd have signed 200 players over the summer.
AbsolutelyYeah but haters gonna hate? And the media LOVE a United story… saves them doing any real work.
For those who like/are yet unsure of Ratcliffe, it saves £2m a year, SAF agreed with it, he still goes to games (his passion) and they guys 83…. for the Ratcliffe haters, it’s scandalous, the money is peanuts, something something Brexit, something.
This is not transfer speculation. Had there been any wrong reporting by the them, both the club and Sir Alex would jump to correct it. Get real or stop trying to wum or whatever it is you are badly attempting.Credible......are you for real? If you listened to sky, we'd have signed 200 players over the summer.

fecking Sky isn't credible for one. If the club was to jump on every speculation like idiot fans seem to like to consume, they'd do nothing else.This is not transfer speculation.

Yet that's exactly what happened. And his personal life long friend appears so far that is OK with it. Because you know why? It's just business. Also why don't you provide the so called credible reporting that Sir Alex is the one stepping down by his own volition ?fecking Sky isn't credible for one.

Wum? Too old and wise to waste my time with that childish behaviour.
Anyone thinks that Sir Jim is sacking his personal and life long friend for 2m amongst all the shitshow that's happening, need their head looking at.
Even if it was true, they fecking wouldn't do it now.....
I'm not suggesting that SAF retired from the position, but there is a big difference between not renewing a contract and being sacked.Yet that's exactly what happened.

I know we need to make cuts, but this was a PR disaster.
A lot of people say every little things help. But the effect of this decision is terrible for the supporters morale.Have to find the funds to sack Ten Hag from somewhere, right?
Lets not forget if you are letting 250 staff go who probably haven't got 53m in the bank, then morally it's right to explore all avenues.20 million quid spread across a decade is one hell of a golden handshake.
You can’t keep that going forever. He was already a very wealthy man before he retired. He has a net worth of 53 million.
He’s not exactly destitute.

Ronaldo came out speaking the “truth” and got lambasted by fans for rocking the boat. Maybe Fergie foresaw that and kept silent?It's about time they did this, in fact its well overdue.
One thing that's really bugged me about SAF since he stepped down and for me tarnished his legacy is his refusal to even utter a word about the mismanagement of the club by the Glazers. We've been through the gutter in the last decade and the biggest figure in the clubs history, a man some fans practically worship, has kept silent.
I put that down to being on the Glazers payroll and not wanting to jeopardize that income.
His words hold a lot of weight and now hes not getting paid to keep quiet, maybe he'll have a few words to say which will help push the Glazers further out.

It's alleged he gets around 150k for attending each utd sponsorship events, he'll be ok....
Or something along the lines of " we love alex, he's the best ever,we therefore have decided to let him enjoy his weekends and stop being laid to watch this dutch clowns tripe"The decision is one thing, but the way they've let it play out is another. Half the posts on here a guessing at reasons, postulating conspiracies and taking the 'worst possible answer'.
A smarter organisation would have made that impossible.
"SAF is the greatest manager in history, a man that has done more for this football club than anyone and will rightly be revered as a legend here forever. After some great discussions with Sir Alex, we both agreed that it makes more sense to let him enjoy his time without the burden of official duties and we can't wait to see him celebrating our next victory inside OT."
