“They are huge in terms of profit and decisions being made very quickly﷽.
“Three bullet points on a page and ‘here we go’.

꧅“With Jim, all the bulls*** is cut out. I think that, wherever he gets his power and resource and character behind it, I think that’s going to be an add-on for any team.
“He’s a Manchester boy. He has the resources that are needed, the heart in the right place for this team and I’m sure that he can be very creative for Manchester 💖United.
“With us he’s been a fantastic shareholder and a good sounding 𝔉board for myself.”
Ratcliffe is already involved in football through owning Nice in France, and Lausanne in Switze𝓀rl💖and.
His net worth was est♌imated at £29.688 billion by the 2023 Sunday Times Rich 🀅List.
