Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s tenure at Manchester United

Ratcliffe paid £1.3bn last year to take a 27.7 per cent stake in the club, taking over football operations from the Glazers.

He has already made some very unpopular decisions, mostly down to cost cutting. Last month, in a fanzine interview We stand unitedRatcliffe even said the side was mediocre:

“Manchester United has become mediocre. It is not elite and should be one of the best football clubs in the world. It was like that under (Sir) Alex (Ferguson). Elite status comes with a big change. But there have already been big changes in this club.

“It’s not easy and it’s not quick. It’s a complicated problem and because it’s been going in this direction for so long, it’s a lot of inertia that has built up in the organization. Trying to turn what was relatively average into an elite, top team is a big task.”
