Manchester United The departures are continued with three leaders to leave the club

Manchester United’s wholesale changes at Executive level have further impressed, and the head of the club’s HR department, Annie Hale, the commercial director of the club, Florence Lafaye, and the Chief Commercial Development Officer of the Club James Holroyd to leave the club.

It continues the radical transformation that the Executive Leadership Team (Elt) from United has carried out a “strategic review” since the club after Sir Jim Ratcliffes Ineos took over a minority stake in the club in early 2024.

Ratcliffe’s task was originally control of sports businesses, whereby the Glazer family retained the majority of United’s ownership, but this has expanded to Ineos since then to expand its scope in order to include business activities and operations in the club.

Richard Arnold, as managing director of Patrick Stewart (formerly Legal Counsel des Clubs), as interim managing director Victoria Timpson as CEO of alliances and partnerships, Cliff Baty as Chief Financial Officer John Murtough, John Murtough, as a football director, Phil Lynch as CEO of Digital, follow these recent departures. Produces and Experiences and former experiences, and former experience and former head of communication Ellie Nory.

The role of Hale last year under Ineos has largely focused on monitoring the club’s redundancy processes dependent on the new regime, with 250 employees being released last summer and up to 200 in the coming months. It is expected to see the redundancy program. It would be understandable if Hale found the process of several “right -wing rounds” and reduce the burden of United to personally difficult to be difficult than left the club as long -standing colleagues. According to LinkedIn, her job title in People & Transformation Director changed in September, which explains the plans recently developed by Ineo’s “transformation” of the association’s finances – including these hundreds of layoffs.

Lafaye was part of the industry -leading commercial department of the club, which, under the direction of Timpson, helped the club for great contracts with Adidas and Snapdragon in the past seasons. Holroyd was in a deal that was the main sale at Adidas in 2023, despite the team’s under -performance for 900 million GBP for 900 million GBP in 2023.

Everything is leaving Collette, the club’s Chief Operating Officer, as the sole survivor of the former Elt, who preceded the strategic review. Her role also seems to have changed, since she now has the responsibility to manage certain matters on the Club’s Carrington training area.

Ineos has sat down to build its own management team and Omar Berrada from Manchester City as managing director, while Marc Armstrong recently started as a Chief Business Officer after being poached from Paris Saint-Germain.

The long-time Ineos employee like Dave Brailsford took responsibility in Old Trafford, while the Ineos-Executive Roger Bell is now Chief Financial Officer at United and Gary Hemingway, an IneOS-PROjects specialist, is currently working on football data analysis and infrastructure projects.

Jason Wilcox was hired as a technical director, while Christopher Vivell, formerly Chelsea and the Red Bull Group, are working on recruitment. United last year dan Ashworth and paid MILLL United millions to maintain his services before going to his services before he went and cost the club more.
