6 Large meals from Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s interview from Manch

Manchester United fans and the broader football world choose a large range of major points after the co -owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe conducted wide interviews with BBC and OverlapThe platform of the former leader Gary Neville Ali Sky Sports.

The timing cannot be reduced. The Ratcliffe system has been identified from every corner in recent months, as it has already reached one year – although only the minority share in the club – amid the justified perception to make things worse.

Quicky has learned how unforgettable football can be. He previously engaged in ownership through IGC Nice and Lausanne-Sport. But nothing is on this range, with this scrutiny a lot, and this challenge is a lot of right.

From ticket prices walking long to Delivery of hundreds of employees at the same time With the errors of the expensive football employees, lunch meals are taken away from ordinary employees, dealing with financial support for disabled supporters and talking about the women’s team, and feeling towards the man he praised only 12 months ago with the club’s savior greatly tension.

RATCLIFE and INEOS were clearly out of some control of the damage and recovered at least some narration.

A blatant warning from Ratcliffe in BBC The interview is that Manchester United “will run out of criticism” by the end of 2025 without measures to provide intense costs.

The billionaire has barely raised the morale of employees since last summer, with comprehensive ads that everyone should be 100 % headquarters after the hybrid work culture became the base, before that from 250 people- after that- after that. And plans for up to 200. Old Trafford, whose cost of one million pounds was reported annually, was robbed, unnecessarily harsh at the same time that many members who suffer from poor performance in the play squad within a month are pushed.

“I realize that I am not popular at the present time – but I am ready to be, and I can deal with being inactive for a period of time because I think what we do is the right thing.”

It reached its climax last month when it revealed the latest set of accounts now More than one billion pounds has been spent in the huge debt service It was imposed on UNITED by The Glazer Family Beautiful in 2005. Ratcliffe reduced the effect of this, claiming that there are greater cost issues that must be addressed and that “most companies” in the United Kingdom have some forms. “Upon profitability revenues,” you can start paying the debt, “he said.

But Ratcliffe also made it clear that he expects the club to earn money to be invested in the play squad, and not spending on the operating costs. “Do you want to spend it on running the club, or do you want to spend it on the team? What we want to do is investing in the best players in the world if we can, instead of spending it, I am afraid, and free lunch.”

It is ruthless and makes Manchester United a fun place to work with relatively simple concessions and gestures that do not look priority.

Remember when Leeds United achieved a financial wall in 2002 and forced over the past two years the sale of their most valuable assets-including Rio Ferdinand-to raise money, but eventually resulted in double decline, 15-year absence from the Premier League, and irreversible damage?

“We will not sell the players because of the state that we are financially,” says Ratstevivevs.

Operating costs are what he wants to reduce, not at the expense of investing in football.

“The club has swollen, so we have reduced it and we will finish it with a meager and effective institution. This is how we will deal with costs. All player decisions will focus on how to improve performance. That’s it.”

Although these mistakes are accepted – That is, keeping Erik Ten Hag, following up, employing and shooting Dan Ashworth – Ratcliffe has been designed that the goal is for the Premier League Champions League again by 2028, and corresponds to the 150th anniversary of the club.

Given that United is sitting in the fourteenth place at the table with ten games of the 2024/25 season remaining, and the worst thing in this can be recorded since the landing from the top of the trip in 1974, it seems absurd to believe that they are aiming to return to the top of the local lint only from now.

“I don’t think it is an impossible task,” as previously Ratcliffe, on the pretext that determining the goal is healthy.

“If you look at ArsenalIf you look at LiverpoolIf you look at the time you took to get the house in order and return to the winning roads, it is likely to be the short end of the spectrum. But this is not impossible. “

Ratcliffe’s defense of Erik Ten Hag kept last summer that the newly appointed sporty hierarchy had not passed through the door “more than five minutes” when the decision should have been taken. But within three months, the club was ready to take a strike and accept it was a mistake.

The billionaire was particularly reducing the influence of the former Ajax president on employment, when it comes to signing a “player or two Dutch players”. It is possible that he was referring to Matthijs de Ligt and Joshua Zirkze, both of whom reached last summer, but you have long seen it has a good reputation in following the players he has already known, with United also provides him Antony, Andre ona and Noussair Mazraoui since 2022.

In fact, replacement chief Robin Amorim has a worse record after horrific results of the results of more than three months with a little job, but are ready in the long run. His title – the coach of the coach – differs from which of his predecessors that reflects a specific role in the sophisticated and most modern sports structure above it and it appears that Ratcliffe is installed to give Portuguese the benefit of doubt after inheritance of a group built by another person who does not fit his specific style.

“It is, as in most coaches, an emotional figure. Robin is not perfect but I am a great supporter of Robin,” said Ratcliffe. “He wants a dressing room full of people who are completely committed to winning football matches. He will not tolerate people who do not have 100 % of this position. Players should be in the same box.”

A lot of brutal honesty was shocked by Ratcliffe when it comes to His name is five weak performance signatures Those who are not good enough, paid, or perhaps both.

Ten Hags was the favorite Anthony and Andrei Unana from them, as it was Casemiro. Gadon Sancho, who “pay 17 million pounds” at the loan wages until Chelsea bought it permanently in the summer, is the fourth. Then came the name Rasmus Hojlund.

Anthony, who flourishes a loan from the spotlight at Real Betis, was already able to move forward at the end of the season. Casemiro at the end of the tail of his career – a legend will retire in the twenty -first century anyway, for everything he achieved during a decade in Real Madrid. Sancho, more than Anthony, will not be a United player for a longer period because of his conditions Chelsea Less. Onana is at least a rooted senior, with the exception of his time in Manchester, which was proven objectively in two former clubs to be one of the best goalkeepers in Europe.

For Hojlund, who was contracted until 2028, to be publicly called in this context by the man who controls the club, it is a huge and difficult blow to imagine how to continue to get a future in Old Trafford – or perhaps even at the highest level in general.

DANE seems to be a problem that the new system has “inherited” and must be “sorting”, and it seems that it is considered a mistake in the “past” and not part of the “new place in the future”.

Hojlund, recently only 22 and is still in his career, is already at the bottom of the rocks in terms of confidence. He showed himself that he is very able in the appropriate environment, with support and sufficient service, as he scored seven times in six consecutive Premier League Manifestations during a wonderful shape in the middle of last season. But it may be impossible now to succeed.

Bruno Fernandez, on the other hand, was highlighted by Ratcliffe as a “great football player” that the club needs “definitely”.

The method that Ratcliffe has He talked about the United Women’s team on multiple occasions in the past It was a peach at best. His words and his language have appeared as rejecting and not interested, to the extent that the fans took that means that the woman’s program does not look at it and the first hierarchy of the club. He now claims that criticism was “unfair”.

This time, Ratcliffe – who informed that she now asked the captain of the women’s team, Katie Zellim, was not her role in the club during a visit to Carrington last season – she had better prepared in his answers. He gave more interpretation when talking about the financial inputs of the women’s team, compared to men’s wealth for men, and the tone seems at least more care.

“The Women’s Team wears Manchester United Brand, the Manchester United logo, so in this sense, it is important like the men’s team. Frankly, they are doing better than the men’s team, ”he said BBC.

It is clear that women are still at the forefront of his ideas – he hesitated before he announced that they are second WSL The table indicated a lack of inherent knowledge. But after the disaster of Zilm, at least the new captain Maya Le Tassisiyeh mentioned by name, unlimited.

Whether it is an organic growth in Ratcliffe’s interest in the team’s wealth, or simply as a result of preparing very carefully by its public relations team to talk about it unclear. The possibility is that it is the last. The dominant partner is still enthusiastic about women football, indicating that there will be no type of large investment projects to compete with local Chelsea – still decrease in the ocean of the club in the large plan of things and perhaps a lost opportunity, but at least it no longer undermines their presence. Child steps.
