'Don’t lose the soul of the club to save a few quid!' - Man Utd analyst who was made redundant fires parting shot at Sir Jim Ratcliffe & INEOS in LinkedIn farewell post

Premier League

Ipswich

After 23 years, Brown was relieved of his duties by United as INEOS implement vast cost-cutting measures. He worked as a performance analyst at Old Trafford, specialising in academy loans, and has issued a strong statement in which he has begged the new ownership not to "lose the soul of the club".

WHAT HAPPENED?

Per reports earlier this summer, United's new minority owner has implemented <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/explained-why-sir-jim-ratcliffe-cut-250-jobs-man-utd-before-2024-25-season-ruthless-move/blt03d53fcd4d7bd299" target="_blank">swingeing cuts that has seen 250 jobs removed across the board</a>. Brown, at the age of 52, is now seeking alternative employment at a new club.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Writing on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7226574949358940160/" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>, Brown said: "So after 23 years of loyal service, my time has come to leave Manchester United, not by choice but via a redundancy program. Not the way I had dreamed, but these things are sent to test us. I have enjoyed some of the most fantastic times, met absolute legends of the game, and been part (only a small part) of some legendary moments."Not sure what doors will open or what path to take at 52, but I will keep knocking on doors. I would like to think that my skill set is suitable for recruitment and would love to follow that route. Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated."I wish Manchester United all the best for the future. It has changed so much in 23 years, some good, some not so."Don’t lose the soul of the club to save a few quid. The people who were there made it such a special place, rich with history. Onward to the next chapter."

WHAT BROWN SAID

On the pitch, United are preparing for this weekend's Community Shield clash with Manchester City, before taking on Fulham in their Premier League opener next Friday.
