Owner of OGC Nice, Jim Ratcliffe admitted to having made stupid decisions in the management of the Riviera club.
Ineos has made mistakes since its arrival in 2019 as the main shareholder of OGC Nice. Jim Ratcliffe, the boss of this important player in the petrochemical industry, easily recognized this during an interview published on the media of Manchester United, which he now holds 27.7%.
“ By having bought other clubs, in Lausanne and Nice, we did a lot of stupid things. We made some really stupid decisions at these two clubs », Confided the English billionaire, quoted by Nice morning. Perhaps he was referring to the consumption of five coaches, between 2019 and 2023 (Patrick Vieira, Adrian Ursea, Christophe Galtier, Lucien Favre, Didier Digard), before the arrival last summer of Francesco Farioli.
Nice as a guinea pig?
The young Italian must satisfy Jim Ratcliffe, the Aiglons occupying third place in the Ligue 1 standings before their match of 23e day, Sunday at home against Clermont. Facing the Manchester United media, Ratcliffe in any case gave an image of seriousness.
“ At Ineos, we don’t mind making mistakes but we shouldn’t start again. We’re a lot less nice if someone makes the same mistake twiceexplains the new shareholder of the Red Devils. We made mistakes in football but I’m really happy we made them before arriving at Manchester United. »
