Manchester United’s new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been heavily criticised by talkSPORT pundit Jamie O’Hara, who has branded him a “disgrace” and a “joke” since his arrival at Old Trafford.
Man Utd fans will have been relieved when Ratcliffe came in after years of being unhappy with how the Glazers were running the club, but so far there’s not been enough of a positive change under the new regime.
O’Hara has certainly not been at all impressed by Ratcliffe and INEOS as he laid into them on talkSPORT in the video clip below, slamming the new co-owner for coming across as arrogant whilst then doing little more than introducing a host of cost-cutting measures at the club…
O’Hara was particularly unimpressed as he referenced reports about United asking Manchester City if some of their players could share a plane with them to travel to the Ballon d’Or ceremony.
Jamie O’Hara rips into Sir Jim Ratcliffe
“What is he doing? He’s a disgrace, Ratcliffe. He came in, gave it the big spuds, he’s this billionaire and he’s gonna do this and do that… he’s been a joke!” the former Tottenham midfielder said.
“All he’s done is get rid of 200 people, they’ve got to bring their own food in now, now he’s trying to penny pinch on a jet for his Ballon d’Or nominees.
“Come on mate. Give us a rest, will you? Don’t tell me you’re a billionaire and you’re going to do this and that. It’s a massive loserville, that one.”
Perhaps it will just take time, but so far one imagines there’ll be plenty of United fans who are also massively underwhelmed by what Ratcliffe has done.
The club still looks to be a long way behind its rivals, and Erik ten Hag is somehow still the manager as the new owners don’t seem to be brave enough to make a change even though things are clearly not working under the Dutch tactician.
Radcliffe came in saying he was going to do this and that and change the way the club worked he’s brought in all his cronies on no doubt big money they want to get the club back to were it should be but I didn’t think they ment the championship which is were we are going with the manager that for some reason they won’t sack they said that they would stop the over paying for mediocre players now we just buy cheaper mediocre players they want to cut out the waste of money so they sack 200 staff who actually do the work and bring in yet more mediocre players on large wages for god sake please wake up and do what you said you want to do and start bye sacking the manager who it appears is totally out of his depth and has lost the dressing room
Ratcliff and the so called inios plus ten hang (hag) are all insane and so foolish to the last level, sooner or later I will only focus on Real Madrid and leave that mess united. If at all they had brain in there head they should have sacked that fool called ten hanger since last year
Jamie O’Hara, another ‘expert’ who’s won nothing in his career, never managed a team and yet claims to be qualified to criticise current players, coaches, managers and owners. Talk sport has certainly been ‘dumbing down ‘ in recent years but I wonder just how dumber the channel can get ?
Ratcliffe has been very poor since he has come in with no improvement to the club.
You don’t run a Football club the same as a business and where he has been successful in business the football side of matters he has not mastered. Just look at French club Nice that he owns, best position since Ratcliffe came is 5th.
I feel that he has too many big wigs running Man U.
I said from the beginning that Ratcliffe was a Glazer clone. He and his expert clowns don’t have the b..lls to fire an incompetent, clueless manager.
Why? Ratcliffe is too mean to pay the guy his money. He would rather continue as is. We are just weeks away from a relegation battle.
The main reason Sir Jim doesn’t want to sack is because they doesn’t want to pay the 15 millions. Slowly it’s shows that the Ineos are worst than the Glazers. The motive for them is a financial project not football project. No wonder Nice under them cannot be successful. I assume we can’t progress under them.
perhaps they shouldn’t have extended Ten Hags contract then!
