The news of INEOS Group's £1.3 billion** acquisition of a 25% stake in Manchester United has been officially announcedThe news that Jim Ratcliffe will take over United's football business in full has generated a lot of attention and discussion among fans, who have expressed their disappointment at the acquisition, believing that Manchester United may continue to sink. However, there are also some fans who say they will be watching how Ratcliffe operates, hoping that he can bring about positive change.
First, let's take a look at the fans' dissatisfaction with the acquisition. Manchester United is a traditional Premier League club with a huge fan base around the world. However, in recent years, Manchester United's performances have disappointed fans. The team's results in the European arena are not good, and the domestic league is gradually separated by other strong teams. Against this backdrop, INEOS Group's involvement is seen as a sign of United's downfall. Many fans have expressed concern that Manchester United will fall victim to commercial interests, just like Chelsea.
However, there is also a part of the fans who are optimistic about the acquisition. They believe that now that things have happened, they should focus on how Ratcliffe operates. If Ratcliffe can find professional managers like Abou and poach a strong coaching team like Manchester City, then the future of Manchester United is worth looking forward to.
Of course, there are also some fans who have questioned Ratcliffe's operation. These fans said they hoped Ratcliffe would respect the professionalism of football and bring more help to the team, rather than creating more problems. So, can Ratcliffe save Manchester United?It will take time to prove. Judging from the current situation, Ratcliffe must do the following well if he wants to succeed:
1.Introduce a professional management team. A successful football club is inseparable from a professional and strong management team. Ratcliffe needs to find professionals like Abu and Mansour, such as Peter Kenyon, Barsa Soriano and Begiristain, to build a strong Manchester United.
2.Pay attention to youth training. Manchester United have long been the face of English football and have one of the best youth systems in the world. Ratcliffe needs to continue to invest more in youth training and develop more homegrown talent to lay the foundation for United's long-term development.
3.Stabilize the coaching team. Coaching is the soul of the team, and a stable coaching team is essential to the success of the team. Ratcliffe needs to make sure the team has the right manager and gives him enough time and space to build his own system.
