Sir Jim Ratcliffe is being hoisted by his own petard at Manchester United. Almost everything he has said about the club has come back to haunt him in the last 32 months.
It was in February 2024 when Ratcliffe's investment in the club was confirmed, and he sat in Ineos' Knightsbridge offices and talked confidently about what had gone wrong and how he intended to fix it.
Unfortunately for the British billionaire, he has discovered that in football, identifying the problems is the relatively simple bit. Actually fixing them is considerably more difficult than it might be in petrochemicals.
