Arsenal to Cut About 60 Off-Field Roles

A consultant review, the club says, is intended to reduce rising operating costs caused by higher staging charges and post-title bonus payments.

Overview

Staff were told in a call with chief executive Richard Garlick on Wednesday that the club plans to make about 60 off-field roles redundant.
The planned cuts will not directly affect the men’s or women’s first teams, the Hale End academy, the Arsenal Foundation, community programmes, or the security department.
Arsenal reported record revenue of £691 million for the year to May 2025 but still logged a £1.4 million loss and a club-record wage bill of £346.8 million, with operating costs rising to about £200.8 million.
The club engaged Boston Consulting Group earlier this year to review operations and has already made senior medical, sports-science and executive departures as part of broader restructuring.
The move follows a wider Premier League trend of workforce reductions at top clubs and will begin a consultation process that could affect employees’ pay, roles and job security in administrative departments.
