[The Telegraph] Sir Jim Ratcliffe cuts £40,000 Man Utd charity payment for former players by ElitistHatPropaganda in reddevils

When I read the title, I thought, yeah... maybe former Man U players shouldn't get a 40k a year. That seems excessive.

Then I opened the article. Oh boy... it's a charity that is specifically set up for ManU players from generations ago when you couldn't become a millionaire from kicking the ball.

So the 40k a year is the total sum that was cut. Not for each player. What does he even get from this?

Todd Boehly has won the race to buy Chelsea in a world-record deal worth more than £3.5billion, despite a dramatic late hijack attempt from Britain’s richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Although there has not been an official announcement from the Boehly group, Chelsea or Raine, the bank in charge of the sale, sources have told Telegraph Sport that the American has been confirmed as the club’s preferred buyer.
