It was 'ridiculous' for us to think the Glazers would relinquish all control of the football side of things at Manchester United apparently. Joel Glazer will be one of three men on the Ratcliffe committee.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe won’t be in complete control of footballing matters at Manchester United as it turns out, with Joel Glazer set to sit on a three-man ‘football committee’.is poised to complete a 25 percent purchase of the club for around £1.3bn, with the INEOS CEO to join a newly-formed committee that will be in control of football decisions.
It was initially reported that the Glazers would stick to the commercial side of the business, handing the sporting reins to Ratcliffe, but theIt’s claimed under the proposed deal, Ratcliffe and Joel Glazer will be joined by Sir Dave Brailsford — director of sport at Ineos and the mastermind behind British cycling’s triumphs at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics – on a committee overseeing football matters.
Just as the Glazers will have a say on the football side, Ratcliffe – as a large shareholder and board director – will have some influence on United’s commercial operations. ‘Having sway over football decisions through controlling the committee was Ratcliffe’s “price for investing”,’ one source revealed, while another said Ratcliffe ‘was aiming to make a mark quickly on the pitch to signal to fans that, despite the Glazers remaining as majority owners, his arrival would represent a break from the past’.
Ratcliffe is going to prioritise the appointment of a sporting director if his bid to buy a stake in Manchester United is successful, according to a report.
