Everybody In Management At MUFC Must Be World-Class – Sir Jim Ratcliffe

Manchester United co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has come out to say that every person in management at MUFC must be world-class. He recently revealed this as he begins a mission to overhaul the organisation, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, it is clear that the organisation of the club is not right at the moment, so it is important for him and his team to rectify that as soon as possible.

Sir Jim added that making sure MUFC has the right people in the right positions is very important.

His words, “We have to look at the organisation of the club, because at the moment it is not right. Take the manager: he has to report directly to the CEO. That is no longer possible in a modern football organisation.

“We have to make sure that the right people end up in the right positions. Every person in management has to be world-class. And then we have to create a positive, supportive, friendly and quality environment. That culture was missing before. Only in such an environment can you get the best out of sportsmen. If that succeeds, the results will automatically follow. That’s the plan and I believe in it.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
