Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s first major Man United decision will win fans over immediately

Posted by

It seems that Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s partial takeover of Man United can’t come soon enough, with everything expected to be fully ratified within the next six weeks or so.

Club decisions can certainly be made in the meantime, but certain aspects of club business will have to wait a little longer before they can be executed.

With Sir Jim almost seen as a saviour of sorts, any decisions he makes are likely to be heavily scrutinised by a fan base that have just about had enough of the Glazer family riding roughshod over the club’s proud heritage.

To that end, a decision that Sir Jim has already taken is likely to garner a positive response from the Old Trafford faithful.

According to Football Insider, Ratcliffe has stopped the payment of dividends for the next three years, meaning that the Glazer’s will be unable to syphon off any more money from United into their personal bank accounts during that time.

Decisions over playing staff, the manager and funding for the first team will be equally as important to a set of supporters who arguably want to see the proof of the pudding before rushing headlong into a judgment on the new regime.

With the dividend issue, however, Sir Jim will have certainly got off on the right foot.

    1. Ten hag is equally obstinate as Van gall and Jose. Most of his recruitments are not good. Playing style is horrible without energy. But equally guilty are many senior players including the captain, for pathetic display if football.

    2. Van Gaal was far worse. As a season ticket holder I had never fallen asleep in the stands before Van Gaal changed our style of play. Mourinho’s football was also dull so I cancelled my United men’s football ticket and got a United Women’s Team season ticket. Far more attractive football and far cheaper.

  1. I agree totally with nv jen style of play is pathetic Anthony is not near good enough and our captain is no leader

  2. Why is all the focus on a new striker when it should be on the weak midfield & pathetic wingers who can’t supply the striker. That is wherw the club should focus their time & efforts on

  3. I wonder why Ten Hag is afraid to put senior players like Erickson and Fernandez on the bench, when they are uder performing, I knew Bruno splitting defense for Rashford and Marshall. Our Midfield is lacking below. Look for energetic midfield. defensive mid. Is ok to my perspective.

  4. Good decision not to let the 2 bastards siphoned money out of United.
    ETH must be sacked and replaced. His football philosophy does not work in United
    His recruitment of players is equally bad. His decision making on the field is clueless and hopeless.
    Please get another high profile manager to replaced him like Zozou.

  5. Cant see how a 25% shareholder can make a decision about dividends without the majority shareholders sanctioning this >> please explain?
    As for Ten Hag, he has the best record of games won v games played and as for the transfers in, most are not his 1st choice as the scumbags wouldn’t fund those, so we have 2nd or 3rd choice instead! my problem with him is “In-Game-Management”

  6. Everyone, well almost, say we should sack the manager. What good will this do? we cant keep changing managers as each one has their own style and profile of players. Changing managers isnt the solution as half of the players wont suit a new manager and we end up back at square one. A new transfer strategy is what is needed. the right players need to be bought and players who really want to play for the badge and not the money.

    1. to je to trebaju novci a i atmosfera čim se pobeđuje odmah se pojavljuju bolji igrači treba konstantno igrati dobro ne Aston Vila pa Notimgen treba igrati snažno a ne malodusno sa pričom sa sudijom recimo Rashovord je pao i izašao van a mi dobili go a on nastavio da igra to neide to je kiks

  7. Ten Hag should be sacked because , he has.failed to coach high class players like Ronaldo and DeGea

  8. All the Knighthood should not Rod Stewart be left out but come together at Man U. He will be fine football coach. He can sing when not kicking. Kicking and singing same time daze any soul on earth and lift the roof.

  9. I don’t know what to say but one thing I know for a fact is that our players are not good enough

  10. My manager is tenhag, the problem is injuries and you can’t judge him just now, he proved he is worth in the first season
    I still believe in the Dutchman and I still believe in him

  11. Man united need a young DM and a young AM that can drive that ball from midfield to the box. someone like bayern jamal, a wing like olise people that can score even when the striker haven’t got a chance to score! that what’s united need

  12. I beg of you , Sir Jim, please do not Sack Ten Hag. He has been such a gift. He’s been awesome. He has shined in ways I could never have dreamed of.

    Regards
    Liverpool fan
