Tottenham Tickles Ex-Red Devil Execs…
In a twist of fate more surprising than a giraffe in goal, Tottenham has welcome-wagoned several ex-Manchester United execs onto their ship after Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s cost-cutting guillotine showed them the door. Ratcliffe, who’s been slicing club expenses thinner than a hairless cat’s whisker, axed everything from Christmas parties to Sir Alex Ferguson’s royal wave job. Now, these dismissed Red Devils have pranced over to Tottenham, landing a deal hotter than a cup of tea inside Altius8 — the agency set up by ex-Utd muckety-mucks, including 29-year vet Ali Edge, the data-crunching Thomas Liston-Jones, and alliance wizard Victoria Timpson.
Daniel Levy, known for crafting deals slicker than butter on a football, is tickled pink that this wizardry crew can sprinkle the same revenue-boosting magic they worked at Old Trafford. But the football realm’s sages whisper: “Will the ghost of Ratcliffe’s money-saving scissorhands come back to haunt him?” A colossal kerfuffle! Ratcliffe swears to the fans it’s all worth the hard yakka if they fancy a United revival tour lifting silverware again.
Meanwhile, back in Never-Ending Manchester Kingdom, the chatter in local pubs and WhatsApp groups buzzes louder than a mosquito at a BBQ. With Sir Jim cooking up change like a master chef with a blender stuck on ‘purée’, United’s wallets might need to dodge an ad break. Fear not, by simply hit-hopping on your mobile fortress you can join the merry United news train as the club dances through these stormy financial seas.
