Eric Cantona, a former forward for Manchester United, is fuming with rage at Sir Jim Ratcliffe for removing Sir Alex Ferguson from his ambassadorial post at the club, which was worth $2.16 million.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe should be placed in a “big bag of s***” for his disrespectful attitude of Manchester United great Sir Alex Ferguson, according to Eric Cantona, who is outraged with Ratcliffe for his inappropriate behavior toward Ferguson.
A candid face-to-face conversation between Ratcliffe and Ferguson resulted in the termination of Ferguson’s position as a club ambassador, which paid him $2.16 million annually. The contentious decision to delete the avenue that has brought in about twenty-five million pounds for Ferguson since his retirement in May 2013 was taken by the co-owner of United, who is in a desperate need of financial savings.
On the other hand, it is said that the 82-year-old manager, who guided United for a total of 26 years and won 38 trophies, has handled the news with graciousness. Even though he has been seen sitting next to Ratcliffe on several occasions, it is still anticipated that he will continue to attend matches at Old Trafford.
The club has been thrown into disarray as a result of Ratcliffe’s decision, and Cantona has provided the most forthright response to him to yet. “Sir Alex Ferguson should be able to do anything he wants at the club until the day he dies,” he said in a caption that he posted on Instagram beside a picture of himself with Ferguson. He has 1.4 million followers on Instagram. What a shocking lack of respect. What a scandalous situation it is. Without a doubt, Sir Alex Ferguson will always be my employer! In addition to that, I put all of them in a large bag of s***!
Rio Ferdinand, a former defender for Manchester United, has also provided his opinion on the matter by tweeting, “If Sir Alex can be taken out, then NO ONE IS SAFE at Man United – anyone can get it now.” Can you please send a message to ANYONE who is present at the club?!?
In the process of doing what he believes to be in United’s best interest, Ratcliffe has demonstrated that he is not afraid of offending individuals. A total of 250 employees, or around one fourth of United’s workforce, have already been terminated by the INEOS millionaire in an effort to recoup ten million pounds. In addition, he has canceled the Christmas party and given up on giveaways, both of which are actions that have contributed to his lack of popularity inside the club.
Ferguson is being fired despite the fact that he has a very positive appraisal of his accomplishments while working at United between the years 1986 and 2013. Back at the beginning of this year, he made the following statement: “He has a great deal of experience, a great deal of stories to tell, and a great deal of thoughts about the club.”
Despite the fact that he is still extremely mindful about the club and possesses a tremendous amount of expertise, I do not believe that he has been solicited to participate in the club’s activities. He has a profound comprehension of the club’s core principles and customs, as well as the essence of the organization. Mr. Alex Ferguson, he continues to be a tremendously competitive individual.
Ratcliffe, who is also the owner of OGC Nice and Lausanne, has entirely reorganized the management staff of United. He has appointed Omar Berrada as chief executive, Dan Ashworth as sporting director, and Jason Wilcox as football director.
