Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s company INEOS has bought 25 percent of Manchester United. As part of the deal they have gained sporting control of the club and are due to invest $300m.
But what is INEOS?
And who actually is Jim Ratcliffe?

This is evidence that football is evolving into a genuinely corporate sport, in case you were unsure. Edit: I'm trying to convey that, while I acknowledge that football is and has always been a corporate sport, some people continue to question this and assert that the game is only abused by extremely wealthy professional teams. I'm calling out those who naively hold this belief.

Ineos didn't own 1/3 of it, let alone having a success soon after buying the stake; 2021 Mercedes F1 campaign literally crumbled after their stake shareholding.

The reason why pl is the global league came from rapid commercialization in the 90s from wealthy businessmen looking to squeeze every last ounce of value and we are reaping the rewards through investment into the league like uv lights for better turfs. Like any free market system, there are inefficiencies, winners, losers and bad actors. Sure you can argue that football teams are centuries old institutions and not a corporation but don't expect investments like Erling Haaland and go back to muddy turfs of the 80s or having English born Calvert Lewin as the league's star player. Or worse yet, having solvency issues like LA Liga.

Their plans were hampered for the first few seasons; but now they have had a period of stability, the progress is clear. As for Brailsfords approach, marginal gains is sporting philosophy that transcends the particular sporting discipline; largely because it is built on utilising expertise in each area of the particular discipline you are focused on.

0:45 Jim Ratcliffe certainly does not “own 1/3 of the Mercedes F1 organization” just as Ola Källenius does not own the team. JR is chairman of a company that has a major stake in Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1- a shared interest split between Toto and Daimler AG. Of the trio the Ineos claim could be argued theoretically is the smallest player. An important caveat given it is indeed Toto’s personal wealth staked. Which is very different than allocated resources from a major organization. And a very important point of clarity given you’re trying to illuminate his finances and one of the partners DOES have their personal wealth. The other has a market cap of $85Billion.. with a B. By comparison Ineos is no slouch but their market cap sits at $0.17B. If this was his personal money, that is assets not associated with Ineos capital directly via equity of any kind, I’d be alarmed. But he has made promises to fund improvements from his own pocket. His F1 bet has proven to be fantastic but it will be interesting to see as the sport surely plateaus during the regulation freeze and we approach a new era in the next few years how bottom line performance in his portfolio’s gem that is F1 may affect his football investments broadly, if at all.

Now that we learn he also does materials for football stadiums, I won't be surprised if someone finds out that he does the "money from the right pocket back into the left pocket" creative financing, while charging the club for projects related to stadium and facilities. It's not out of character considering he reportedly moved the company out to France to dodge tax. And here in 5:15 "Northerners"? That's a rather strange and divisive philosophy for "what we like" in a company, especially when that said office is based in London...?? Assuming what "they don't like" maybe include "Southerners"? Yet Tifo dodged explaining that.

He doesn't own 1/3 of the successful Mercedes F1 organization - he bought a third and turned them into an UNSUCCESSFUL organization.

@@AhmedMohamed-ec7pc it certainly does have a say as a 1/3 shareholder. Ratcliffe never gets involved to just put money in and silently watch

They sponsored it in 2018 and it was a successful run; they crumbled after the stake ownership in 2020 though. Yet it was hardly 1/3 of stake shareholder for the arguments sake. Rather, JTR's own money.

Spent all of seven seconds mentioning that Ratcliffe is a tax exile. With the amount of money Ratcliffe withheld from British tax revenues, the government could have nationalised Man United.

Man Utd is bad investment. Better invested in INEOS-Grenadier and find a way to sign Remco Evenepoel for Tour de France challenge, or Tadej Pogacar.

i hear he wants to build a new stadium but he wants the tax payer to fund it ! also hear that he wants mason greenwood back playing- i thought that it was the start of a new era for man utd- sounds like he's trying to rebuild the club on the cheap- if he can't afford to run it properly, he shouldnt have bought the club- got a feeling this is going to be a disaster
