Thought there was an option for the glazers to buy back Ratcliffe shares!
Yes, the Glazers have the option to force Sir Jim Ratcliffe to sell his shares back to them under certain conditions. Specifically, after an 18-month period from when Ratcliffe's deal was completed, if the Glazers decide to sell the entire club, they can require Ratcliffe's investment vehicle, Trawlers Ltd, to sell all of its shares as part of that full sale. This is known as a "drag-along" right. However, this would only be enacted if Ratcliffe does not want to or cannot match the offer price from a new buyer.
