United’s Mad, Mad World: Glazers & Ratcliffe Drama…
Life’s quite the circus at Old Trafford as Sir Jim Ratcliffe discovers his glamorous co-ownership gig at Manchester United isn’t all glitz and goals. Sir Jim is apparently doing a “really good job,” according to his elusive business partners, the Glazers. But those sneaky devils have vanished, leaving Sir Jim to play the reluctant star of their theatrical horror show.
As United fans unleash their best protest dances—complete with vexed chants and indignant banners— they’ve made it abundantly clear they’re not fond of Sir Jim’s show-stopping antics. Losing £300 million and a musical chairs approach to decision-making have made him the main attraction, even as the Glazers dodge the limelight like they’re avoiding a surprise pop quiz.
Sir Jim, in true British sarcasm, has warned that he might just make a swift exit if he starts being pelted with rotten tomatoes like the Glazers. So far, he’s only encountered mildly irate comments from passersby and critical notes from his dear brother Bob. He even jokes with a mate, Ruben, about how advice is as common as yellow cards at Old Trafford!
