What put this Sheikh – a real one, apparently, not AI-generated – with the wealth and resources to make paupers of multi-millionaires, on the back foot? Sir Jim Ratcliffe is offering the Glazers more money. Or rather, more per share. And the INEOS owner is initially willing to take only a quarter of the pie, leaving the rest in the Glazers’ trough.
Seemingly, the choice for many Stretford Enders came down to one of two turds: ownership by a repressive state, or Brexit Jim and the Floridian leeches. The former had been sprinkled in more glitter but the stink was more putrid. That is just one of many major concerns: what does Ratcliffe have in mind for the Old Trafford wreck and Carrington? United’s infrastructure is tired, outdated and in need of more than the £1.25billion investment it took to get Ratcliffe in the building.
