the clown is also giving all the information away of benefits of multi club onwership which others out there will try to stop.. he comes off an incredibly stupid person.. who didnt plan and was caught without doing due homework of transfer between his clubs in same competiton.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is really growing on me. I am starting to feel Manchester United is in not only good hands but in a capable one, also magnificent man. Grateful to have you, sir!
Quataris were what we needed To wipe out the crippling debt and actually buy a proper stadium This guy has just kept the glazers in I’d be suprised if he is able to get any major trophies out of this club
I like this guy. This is the first time I've heard him speak at length. He's honest and humble. I think he could work well with Erik and others at the club. Plus, money isn't the main objective, especially as a Man Utd fan
I’m happy for Sir Jim and INEOS. Any fan who disagrees must have amnesia, where have you been for the past decade? This man talks total sense throughout this entire interview and I’m pleased with the current turnout to have an owner with his appetite for success. He’s already put a positive stamp on this club, is redeveloping Carrington with Foster and has lots of connections in many fields to make this project work. He’s already addressed so many key points too about governance and spending.
I have to admit I was disappointed when it wasn’t the Qataris buying us, but I’m really liking the Ineos approach. Jim is straight talking and no nonsense. Exactly what we needed as fans.
With Qataris we would become an oil club... Loads of money no vision and also being associated with such a dirty industry exploiting fellow humans that should have no place in our future.
@@nolhman123 City does have a vision on the football front, yes. INEOS does seem to be bit more clear on vision than City, no? I might be wrong since I do not follow City. And regarding vision in the sense of treating workers well and supporting the ecosystem of the planet. The oil industry cannot really have one because they would have to stop their business model.
I expected to watch 2 minutes of this and then leave. But I was glued for every second. This bloke explained more to me about the universe and everything than anyone I've come across in 70 years. He should be running the planet, not soccer clubs. Watch out Premier League (that's if City don't destroy it first).
Him speaking to us about his vision and being honest about where the club is now is already 1000 times better than what the glazers have done. The questions were very tough and direct bordering invasive ….. media trained👊
Wow, this is such an amazing interview and excelent work by Francine Lacqua. Great questions that helps paint a broader picture of who the man Jim Ratcliffe is!!! Finally, Manchester United is in safe hands here.....
Not really. What he’s actually said is that they’ll be little spending on players and any redevelopment of Old Trafford will have to be funded by the taxpayer (of which he isn’t one). This guy will gut the club and bury us. Now as an Arsenal fan that might be music to your ears!
@@larrysellers7891 he’s already done more than what Glazers have done in 15+ years, we’ve got a new training facility with Foster + Partners being worked on next season funded by his own money and he’s not even a majority shareholder
It also makes no sense for him to invest so much to just make money out of it. The guy is quite old now and is also the richest man in the UK. Money is the last thing on his mind. I mean, his action speaks for him. Already brought in some highly qualified and best in the business people to run the club (Berrarda, Dan Ashworth, Jean Claude Blanc, Jason Wilcox etc). He's already started renovating the facilities including the players lounge and training centre, already looks likely to build a new stadium. Most of all, which has surprised me, he understands how football works and modern football at that.
@Am-lj3yy This is a vanity project. Nothing else. When he's asking Souness if owning Man United would be fun, I'm not convinced by his intentions. He has been a failure at Nice and had season tickets at Chelsea for years. Having good PR and prepping for a public interview doesn't mean much. He's a businessman. Some people are too easily pleased.
@@xaymacaxaymaca A failure at Nice? What were Nice before INEOS? He is the owner of the most succesful cycling team in history, convinient that you didn't mention that. Since when does owning season tickets make you less of a capable owner? If you're not convinced by his intentions that because you're choosing to be ignorant, so far he's only been positive, brought in best in class board, fired incapable board, renovating the outdated training ground, changing the culture, actually being active and early in transfers. When it comes to PR, you lot complained about the Glazers because they never communicated with the fans, now Sir Jim has and you're calling it a stunt. LOL
Only time will tell. Let’s have the same conversation again in a couple seasons then we can assess his tenure. What I don’t like is that he is emphasising the FFP a lot probs to manage expectations.
@MB98164 I am choosing to be ignorant? Do we compete in cycling? He has had a football club to run and failed miserably in a far easier league. The level of incompetence displayed at Nice was mind-boggling. He also wanted to sack Ten Hag for Southgate! Southgate is his preferred choice. He claimed to be a lifelong Man United supporter but is asking a Liverpool legend and fan if it would be "fun" to own his supposed boyhood club? He tried to buy Chelsea they said no, he tried for Barcelona and they said no. That's a vanity project. Speaking in a controlled environment where they control the messaging is groundbreaking? Jesus Wept. You have absolutely no standards.
I really liked this interview. It was fascinating to listen to Jim particularly strangely enough being a MU fan about the state of politics and the UK rather than the MU part 😂
@@kenwkls6392 Dont care, its rude and we came here to get as much info as possible. Cutting off his points is retarded. If she didn't wanna be there then they should've gotten someone else to interview him and LISTEN
@@adilabbas8628 its better you return to where you’re from, we do not want middle eastern/south asian muslims here. You’re not in the position to tell who can stay or not in a country you’re not from.
A very inspirational man, a pleasure to hear his views, it’s nice to know there are still some adults in the room, I expect he’ll work wonders for Manchester United.
Seeing what sir jim has been doing since he came in is enormous. The guy has put a structur in place to back the manager and players. With the repair of the stadium, bring in new facilities to the training ground, signing new deals with big sponsorship companies. This guy has a heart and vision for this club been a local lad and a utd fan. We can wait to see the players he bring in. And how it turns out on the pitch. Next season will be great to see ad we climb the ladder back to the top
If I ever see a Glazer, it's gonna be on sight. What Jim has done here is more for the fans than the glazers have done in their entire tenure. Im crying, our club may finally have a foundation that managers and players can work from.
Give it three to five years and you’ll be reminiscing about the ‘Good ‘Ol Day’s’ when it was just the Glazers letting the club stagnate. This guy will ruin us.
@@larrysellers7891 Okay larrysellers, if anything he'll bring us down over a 'stagnate' ... if you didnt realize, changes have already began, so a 'stagnation' is already impossible. INEOS will either ruin us worse or they'll bring us back. In the end, I rather take the risk than the rubbish that is the glazer family. There is no United fan that will ever thing of the glazer ownership as the "good ol days" even if we get relegated under INEOS. Get a grip.
@@RasLunacy Well him and his INEOS team have presided over Lassanne Sport being relegated twice so anything’s possible. . . Of the many things wrong with the Glazer’s time at Old Trafford them being tight on the purse strings isn’t one of them. Ratcliffe is already laying the foundation to excuse the lack of spending that’s to come. He won’t be making big signings because of FFP (as if United aren’t one of the highest revenue generating clubs) and he won’t be investing in the stadium unless he’s given access to public funds from the taxpayer. He’s already pulled the plug on the roof being fixed. I don’t see any evidence that he plans to get United back to the top of English football. At best we might qualify for the Champions League and win the odd domestic cup until he pushes for us to be in a breakaway Super League. Then it’ll be solely about the cash.
This is an excellent interview. Sir Jim’s candor is impressive and it feels like our club will finally move in the right direction. Glazers - watch this. Learn from this. And please leave us - sell the whole club to INEOS!
More respect for him since this interview. And I am going to back him and Ineos because they backed Ten Hag and I see now United are going to be in a safe pair of hand's. Interviewer never seen her before she was excellent!
His passionate runt towards the end about the state of the UK is heart warming to hear as an outsider. Good to see there people who love their country like that.
Francine Lacqua is considered one of the best interviewers and journalists in the world. She's editor in large at Bloomberg... I think she knows what she's doing
@@gow2ilove after Sir Jim said that he wanted to emulate the Real Madrid model, she then responded who is the blueprint?!?! She then asks if he wants to sign mbappe when SJR is on record saying he was to ‘sign the next mbappe’. Clearly doesn’t listen to her interviewee nor did she do her research
@@Cjsingh91mate you’ve had a stinker here, she was absolutely brilliant. She let Sir Jim speak when he needed to speak and asked driven questions without hesitation. Put it this way..I put money that you watched the full interview!
He would be an ideal member or something for Reform. I like is way of thinking 🤔 and in my opinion he's right & spot on in what's going on in the country as a whole.
Quite a brilliant man I could listen to him all day. he’s got his own mind. He doesn’t play up. Patience. Money ofcourse. But good ethics. And he understands the situation about the environment, which comes from players with poor attitudes and SELFISH egos. That’s the key! Selfishness. Football is always about the team. Sir Alex said. The TEAM is the star.
Very wise man with the right intentions at heart, has hired the best in class and people who see long term vision can see this clearly. United fans need to be more appreciative we’ve got a homegrown United fan,who’s also the richest man in the UK..who’s also a united fan, in charge of our club!
Please don’t call it Man U that’s what rival fans refer to the club as. Given that Bloomberg is an unbiased third party it should be Man Utd or Manchester United. Thank you
SIR jim not only is a football fan hes a United fan, just that alone will tell you everything you need to know, he has the clubs besr interested at heart and i know he will do everything to get us on top again, im glad hes on board just be calm and dont expect things to change overnight slowly but surely we will get there😮
I wont lie as international United fan i was for the shieks buy out. But im actually so grateful Sir Jim has been allowed to take this project on, he truly is sensible and really does care. My only bucket list item is to go watch a United game live, and im saving up, I hope i can enjoy all this redevelopment of the stadium and the area of Manchester. I cant wait to watch my team succeed❤️❤️❤️
All the games is the reason why you have a squad of 25 or more players. USE THEM . I know United had injury problems last season but that's part of the problem isn't it. Solskjaer was much better at rotating his squad especially for EL and early cup rounds where there were generally 3-4 first team players starting a game and even that rotated between them. ETH has had basically nothing of that, with starting basically his best 11 even against much worse teams. Solskajer typically used 3-4 academy players even in the Europa League with guys like Chong, Angel Gomes, Garner and Greenwood. On top of that he used his back up CBs like Jones, Bailly and Tuanzebe rather than Lindelöf and Maguire all the time who were his starters. He'd also start players like Mata who wasn't necessarily a starter for him normally. The manager simply has to trust the squad that they know what they are doing and then also he needs to know that if he needs to put the first team on for the last 30 minutes that they can deliver a victory if it was lacking earlier in the game.
i was qatar in during the sale but judging sir jim here from this interview, he's being chatting relatively sensibly regarding the failure of the club, he doesn't seems to dismiss the short coming of his initial tenure as well, still skeptical but also hopeful he'll put us back on top
As a City fan I think JR is your best signing in years. He has a strategic mind and the will to implement change to build something. I do think Man Utd will be a threat again but probably 5 years from now.
Have faith in your buying n selling structure. I am sure you introduce pay structure, KPI on bonus n incentive. Add modern business structure + club historical richness
I'm so pleased watching this interview. The English media also has a part to play in where Manchester United find themselves. Imagine ETH was sacked. That's what they wanted after all. But I'm so happy to hear sir Jim speak about the environment. 6-7 coaches can't be all bad. Something has to be the problem and it's got to be fixed. Lol stomach rumble...😂
How right Christiano was! Mamy hated him for the interview with Piers… more will thank him for the great contribution which that interview was. Jim just confirms what Christiao said just in more polished language.
Thanks for sticking with ETH. Now sell a load of the deadwood players, bring in some young quality players & renovate Old Trafford, keep the history & tradition of the theatre of dreams
This woman might be one of the worst interviewers ever. She knew nothing about football and asked all the wrong questions. Should have just been Jim doing a podcast on his own she was that irrelevant
I feel the interviewer asked questions, waited for certain answers and if they didn’t come she just probed in that direction or moved on. So much context and open, honest answers that wasn’t touched up on.
The most refreshing thing he said was “I’m not PC enough to be a politician.. I’m certainly not woke!” Hopefully we can stop these woke political statements coming from the club now then huh?
Newcastle are not being difficult or awkward. They are acting within their rights. Dan Ashworth has a contract which he was happy to sign. Newcastle have said if you want him you need to pay this - well within their rights, the guy has a contract. If you won’t pay it because you feel entitled then move on and sign someone else.
@@imo098765 not really. He’s signed a contract and unless it has a release clause they’re entitled to ask for what they believe his value is. If they believe his impact at the club is worth 4 mil, 10 mil, 40 mil etc. Then they can ask for that. And bear in mind Man U are a competitor, so it is factored into the cost. Contract is a contract.
