The day I realised Jim Ratcliffe was bad news for Manchester United

The day Sir Jim Ratcliffe said he was “not interested in the financial aspects” of his Manchester United investment should perhaps have set alarm bells ringing. In this episode, John Silk explains why that statement first made him question Ratcliffe’s plans for the club—and why the decisions that followed have only deepened those concerns. From sweeping cost-cutting measures and staff redundancies to rising ticket prices, the removal of Sir Alex Ferguson’s ambassadorial role and the wider direction of Manchester United under INEOS, has Ratcliffe shown that he was always bad news for United? Or does the INEOS regime simply need more time to deliver? Follow Talking United for honest Manchester United news, analysis and reaction.
