Ratcliffe’s Rollercoaster at Old Trafford …
Hold on to your soccer hats, folks! Sir Jim Ratcliffe hopped on the unicorn of all football rides – Manchester United! Ever since his minority reign started in February 2024, he’s been roller-skating on thin ice with wild moves like misfiring transfers, fan protests, and a managerial musical chairs dance number. After ditching Erik ten Hag in October for Ruben Amorim, fans are still crossing fingers for a sprinkle of magic. Jimbo has discovered that any United shenanigan is like front-page news flash on a slow news day.
Poor Dan Ashworth seemed to have spent more time hanging with his gardening tools than at his desk. Meanwhile, like a football Zen master, Ratcliffe keeps calm and carries on, convinced Amorim’s got superstar potential hidden in his tactical hat. The squad may resemble a puzzle box missing pieces, but Ratcliffe believes in the power of “doing a super job.”
The exodus of Marcus Rashford to Aston Villa might just be Ratcliffe’s Hail Mary to revamp the squad. And though the fan protests grow louder than a referee’s whistle, Sir Jim is confident the ship won’t sink come Christmas. Arguably more optimistic than a kid at their first United game, he’s on a different gravy when it comes to things turning around, “Liverpool and Arsenal took ages too!” There’s hope yet for silverware at Old Trafford – but only if they remember where they last put it!
