Glazers' role and 'marginal gains' - Sir Jim Ratcliffe's plan to rebuild Manchester United after takeover
26.06.2023 - 15:47 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk

The announcement from the current owners was met with widespread jubilation, following a controversial 18-year stint in charge, but there has been no communication from the board since. Developments have either come from the media or prospective new owners.
Boyhood United fan Sir Jim Ratcliffe was the first to publicly announce his interest in a takeover, detailing his plans to 'put the Manchester back into Manchester United' and focus on Champions League success.
His statement in February read: "Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS have submitted a bid for majority ownership of Manchester United Football Club. We would see our role as the long-term custodians of Manchester United on behalf of the fans and the wider community.

"We want a Manchester United anchored in its proud history and roots in the North-West of England, putting the Manchester back into Manchester United and clearly focusing on winning the Champions League."
Ratcliffe's bid is for majority ownership, rather than the outright buyout proposed by his main rival Sheikh
