Minority owner evasive when asked about club’s manager
Speaking in Barcelona, in the aftermath of the Ineos Britannia, the sailing team he funds, winning the Louis Vuitton Cup to reach next week’s America’s Cup, Ratcliffe was asked about his other sporting interest.
“It’s the management team that’s running Manchester United that have to decide how we best run the team in many different respects,” said Ratcliffe. “But that team that’s running Manchester United has only been together since June or July. They weren’t there in January, February, March or April – Omar, Dan - they only arrived in July.”
Ratcliffe said of his appointed decision-makers: “They’ve only been there … you can count it in weeks almost – they’ve not been there a long time, so they need to take stock and make some sensible decisions. Our objective is very clear – we want to take Manchester United back to where it should be, and it’s not there yet, obviously - that’s very clear.”
