From Adam Crafton latest Athletic article
**Text of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's letter to Man Utd Employees (via similar Article on DM):
>‘I had a good two-day visit to both Carrington and Old Trafford this week. As ever I was made to feel very welcome. Thank you,’ Ratcliffe’s note, which was sent to all staff and seen by Mail Sport, began.
>‘I had a good tour around some of the facilities. **I am afraid I was struck in many places by a high degree of untidiness. In particular the IT department which frankly was a disgrace and the dressing rooms of the U18 and U21 were not much better.
>These standards would not come close to what we would expect at INEOS and we are a chemical company. Manchester United is an elite sporting organisation.
>‘It's a small thing in many ways but unless an organisation has standards and discipline it will not succeed.’
>‘I would be grateful in future if we adopt the proper standards of housekeeping everywhere,’ he continued.
>‘It reflects poorly on the club if we have visitors, young player parents, new players and the media and they see we don't care enough to keep things shipshape.’
