Does this mean that Tommy Rowe will be cut out and we lose our connection with Man United?

So much to answer for.
-
Nah, he's sacking the cleaner, IT guy and plumber. He won't be touching any players, especially them lot on £300K a week.
-
So he's bought into a football club and now trying to spend as little money as possible and absolutely gutting the club from top to bottom. This will end well.

Strikes me as a club with a lot of hangers on taking salaries on the back of yesteryear.
However, YES, there’s a fair few players past their sell by date still getting their pre sell by date salaries.
Manchester United 0 Very Bad Decisions 5.
Club is a mess.
It’s needs to be a club with employees with desire and ambition right through, currently it’s just a money earner for the already fat and well off.
It needs a complete overhaul which will take some years, with a message of no more easy rides from cleaner to centre forward.

Mmm sounds a lot like our Country.

The reason Man U are "going bust" is because they've spent over a billion on players in the last few years, spend hundreds of thousands a week on wages for benchwarmers, and sack managers every few months who they then have to pay off for years. They brought in one of the country's top sporting directors to put a stop to all that and then sacked him after a couple of months ffs. It sure isn't because they gave the ticket office staff a £50 gift card at Christmas. Once again it's the ones at the bottom paying the price for incompetence at the top.

All very true, but the main cause of this chaos is being owned by the Glazers , who appear to be taking more out of the club than putting in.
Whilst ever they are the majority shareholders i doubt things will change for the better.
