Sir Jim Ratcliffe Grabs Man U! Ineos Blitz!…
In a twist that could make a soap opera blush, the bold and ambitious Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani, once upon a time plotting a full-on Arab takeover at Manchester United, has decided to pack up his dreams like an overnight suitcase. Apparently, even the sands of time and Old Trafford couldn’t smooth out the bumpy ride since Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his rambunctious Ineos crew crashed the party. It’s like thinking you’re getting the whole pie, and ending up with just a single, lonely slice—thanks to the Glazers’ decision to stick around like gum on a shoe.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, with Ineos by his side, has danced into the sporting side of United—and not everyone is twirling with joy. Protesters roared louder than a crowd at a free hot dog stand when beloved season ticket holders were evicted. And just when you thought the drama was simmered down, enter Ruben Amorim—capering in as the fairy godmother, ensuring staff and their families don’t miss out on the action in Bilbao. As for a parade? Forget the ticker and tape, it’s looking more like barbecue sauce and garden chairs at Carrington if United triumph over Tottenham in the Europa League final!
But hope springs eternal in the hearts of United fans, yearning for a Sheikh Jassim encore. Alas, he has signaled his theatrical departure by dissolving Nine Two UK Holdings Ltd, the company (and dream machine) built to swoop the club into his arms. Like the Class of ’92, it faded into history, leaving behind a trail of what-might-have-beens and a fanbase still clutching imaginary season tickets. So, the next move for Jassim? Hey, only if he decides to hit the replay button!
