The co -owner of Manchester United, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has to be criticized again and again. The billionaire does not rule out a withdrawal.
Do Manchester United’s co -owner withdraw? Sir Jim Ratcliffe at least indicated that he could leave the club under certain circumstances.
“If the insults get as far as with the Glaz family, then I have to say: enough is enough, let someone else do it,” said the 72-year-old in an interview with Sunday Times .
Sir Jim Ratcliffe holds about 29 percent of the shares in Manchester United
He doesn’t mind being unpopular, he could endure that. Nevertheless, there would be this limit for him: “If I draw people’s anger, I can accept it. But I’m no different from other people. It’s not nice, especially for friends and family. “
Ratcliffe has to take it – but also divide
Since Ratcliffe bought around 29 percent of the shares in the club for around 1.5 billion euros last year and took control of football, he has been criticized more often.
Among other things, he defended the owners who are unpopular among fans, the Glazer family. He also provided increased ticket prices for seniors and under 16-year-olds in the middle of the season.
