This is something Ive wondered Ratcliffe a billionaire from chemicals but relatively unknown, what would his legacy have been? So a few years ago he (INEOS) purchased the Sky Cycling team and suddenly we were aware of INEOS but not yet Scruffy Jim, his next step was to fund the design and manufacture of a rip-off of the Land Rover Defender, his PR machine started to get his name out as a saviour of a much loved British vehicle. Next was a last minute bid for Chelsea, a season ticket holder, unfortunately for him it was too little too late. Then the Glaziers announced that they were willing to take offers for the rags, or a significant portion, step forward Scruffy Jim (a life long fan ha ha ha ) now he's got the profile he seemed to crave costing one of his many billions. INEOS are credited but it's actually a private investment by him. So, ultimately it seems to be profile and seeking a legacy looks like for the moment its gone to shit
It's always worth reminding ourselves of the quality of their ownership. The Welsh government provided tax-payers' money to kickstart a new factory in Bridgend only for Monaco resident Scruff to pick up a cheap ex-Merc facility in Hambach, France, where the Grenadier is now made. The Grenadier is about as British as Édith Piaf.
 
How come Worzel hasn’t got Ferguson off the payroll at Old Trafford? It must have been looked at. Or is it easier to make economies cutting the little people’s jobs and the match day staff lunches?
Baconface strangely seems not to have turned up for games post the 10% takeover - well absent from the tv coverage anyway
