if the club is losing 1 million a month as reported then drastic measures are called for, any business losing money looks at cutting costs and staff costs are generally first to be cut. Why football clubs do not try and adhere to normal business practises is the reason so many are in trouble.

Good on you Massimo, streamline the club, restructure it and return it to being a well managed profitable business.

Having said that I feel sorry for any staff losing their job ar ER and wish them well in finding new employment.

I feel sorry for any person who could loose their job. However if he can identify 70 that can go in less than what? 4 weeks in charge, what the hell was master Bates and GHF doing? I would think streamlining would be a top priority for any person in charge looking to stop hemorrhaging money. 70 people??Really? our club must have been run by incompetents who can't work out they had 70 people excess to requirements? Never does it cease to amaze me in the incompetence of previous owners. Make no wonder we were loosing 1million a month. Swing that axe MC get us back to profitability. Profitability equals sustainability should equal fantastic dynamic business with money to spend

The majority of the clubs headcount are contracted by the outsourcing organisations Mr Bates rallied before departure to take the last few crumbs available. Catering, stewarding, cleaning and so on. 70 from what is left will be a tough act to carry out
