He is a very good coach, but it was the wrong decision at the time.
Overall, Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s comments provide insight into the challenges facing Manchester United and the tough decisions that need to be made in order to improve the club’s financial situation and on-field performance. It will be interesting to see how his leadership and vision for the club unfold in the coming months and years.
I believe what we’re doing is the right thing and has to be done to get United back to where United should be, which is winning silverware and trophies.
If you don’t like where United have been for the last 12 seasons, since Sir Alex [Ferguson] retired, then you have to accept there has to be a period of change, and change is uncomfortable and unpleasant at times.
The aim: Most profitable club in the world, most iconic stadium, and winning silverware
The club’s going to finish up in a very, very different place in three years’ time to where it has been in the past, in my view, Ratcliffe told the BBC. We don’t need to do that. We are in a strong financial position and we don’t need to sell our top talent. We want to build a strong team that can compete at the highest level.
Overall, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is confident in the future of Manchester United and believes that with the right strategies and investments, the club can achieve great success both on and off the field.
