According to the BBC they are going to reduce their TWO HUNDRED person scouting team. They don’t really do a very good job for that investment. |  | | |  |

How many of those are old boys paid a few bob on a part time basis to watch park football though? It sounds a dramatic figure for the press to use but I used to bump into a Town scout walking his dog here in Nottingham every now and again. He wasn't 'on the payroll' and I wonder how many there were in other parts of the country. For a club like Utd with a global network established over half a century or more, it's probably not that extraordinary. |  |

Indeed. I knew one (he was a bit more involved than that), a neighbour of my mother's. Spent a few days a week watching Youth football. [Post edited 16 Feb 10:54]

They have a scouting team of 80 of which some will go,they're looking to make 200 redundancies across the club including their London office.
But 80 people to scout who they've bought is still very bad! |  | | |

I am guessing they are employed. Bunging someone a few quid if they unearth a good prospect wouldn’t be a major expense that needed cutting | | | |

I wasn't surprised they retain Alex Ferguson as a club ambassador - but £2m a year? |  | | |

Closing their London office? The one closest to the majority of their support... |  |

That’s not what the story said. It said they’re looking to make 200 redundancies which will include many of their 80 strong scouting team. | |

It would be interesting to know how this compares to Man Citeh's scouting team. I imagine they've got the same size scouting team. Both sides probably attend every match at every school in the Manchester connurbation making sure they don't miss any prospect to their rivals in the area. |  | | |

Apparently they like to have a presence in the Capital as it easier to sign up corporate deals!?
A ridiculous waste of money , it's not as if Manchester is a small backwater! | | | |

They’ve cut their steward-of-the-week bonus, which was £50, so who knows. |  | | |
