Get this clown away from our football club

@zephyr356 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Rational, intelligent, pragmatic and committed not sure what the problem is with Sir Jim tbh

@Tom_murray89 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Ratcliffe is a shield for the glazers

@Alpha-e6j April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Not sure who's more full of shit, Sir Jim or the Glazers. They are destroying the club for the sake of money & that shiny new stadium. Who gives a shit about a new stadium, when the club is literally falling to pieces right in front of our eyes. Old Trafford will be razed to the ground and United will be in the Championship in 2 years time if this so called leadership continues. But hey, you'll be paying 200 quid for a ticket to go watch United in that fancy new stadium. Won't that be grand? GGMU. Glazers Out.

@miken3599 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Did he mention the snake oil he’s looking to unload?

@ciomar9699 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

I backed Sr. JIM. Dont mind he is in Bed with the enemy. Now is the only way out we have. Stop winning about it and back him. The Club is in Debt… We have to fire people. We are not a charity. we are a Football team who needs money. People lose Jobs every day in every company. Less than 5% of employers get free meals. the club is not in the economic situation for this. If you love the club youll sacrifise something for it. its shite yes… Its fair… no.. Glazers wont pay and its tha way it works sadly for us. Swall it and go on! United!

@andrewbuckley9032 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Again he misses the point with the fans unhappiness.
Someone in his team needs to educate him.

@alex1878-x7c April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Bro shut up about those 300 mil. It's not like you donated them to MU without getting anything in return. It was part of the deal, you got stocks for that.

They need to find other alternatives to generate income

@shango7942 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

These are some tough questions. This is a hot seat for real.

@Saved4Eternity1234 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Sign Man United Cunha and Gyokeres in the summer Jim, then we’ll talk. Until then, you’re nothing but a Glazer enabler, who doesn’t care about winning major honours at the club 🔰

@simbachoga5930 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

feels like same interviw as he did with neville

@ahmedabdikadir6672 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Sir jim is now famous than before that's how man united is most valuable batch in the world

@hardikdhawan9 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

if glazers were talking divide then ratcliffe is fixing people like eric and dan and paying them from 300m invested by him in company. they paid 30 millions to these 2. are paying rashford, antony and sancho wages for about 15 millions on loan. so 1/6 of money is already wasted by him and new manager decision. Now he is out of money and is giving interviews.

@donal5148 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Jim is in it for the money, and the money only! He has decided to bail out the Glazers, shame on you Jim. Glazers out, INEOS out!!!!

@kennethguy4053 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

If you Jim Radcliffe did not join with the Glazers when you found out you were not going to get 100% of the club and walk away, The club would have been sold 100% without the Glazers and no debt.
450 people would not have loss their jobs.
You and the Glazers are parasites feeding off this club waiting for a payday!

@adeoyeyinka5718 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

🚨 BREAKING: The interest payments on the Glazers' acquisition of Manchester United have now exceeded £1 billion,
Trade journal

@neilfitzgerald7980 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

He not the owner only got a small stake in the club glazers own the club

@WayofWyrd April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

I’m behind you Jim you’re getting it done, after the GLAZERS facts don’t listen to these media scum. United we Stand UTFR!!!! 9:14

@noobgonebad9860 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Sir Jim has not corrected “it”. They made another bad hire. Ten Hag was doing amazing job. Compare him vs Amorim. 3rd and trophy, 8th and trophy+qual for Europa League. This year was quaranteed to win Europa League+another cup. Amorim is garbage and they panicked and didn’t know how bad hire they made. Now they have to reorganise their whole academy and whole club to play the Amorim way. And he is not even the top 5 manager who plays that system. That system is flawed and will never be the way to go otherwise Pep would already play that way

@DeanoFrank April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

United are a joke club

@deemcmanus7404 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Ashworth didn’t wana stand in line that was the problem.! You muppets fall in line. Why doesn’t the government step in and ask why the glazers have ruined 1 of the biggest British institutions in history and asset stripped the life out of it for there own benefit

@paultaylor5911 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Glazer's errand boy.

@chifundomazengera6569 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

These interviews are pure business and organizational genius

@Liam301987 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Such poor questioning. If people are not needed at the club in certain roles, they're not needed. So you make them redundant. The ten Hag & Ashworth issues are completely separate. The question is silly. It suggests that you think the club could/should have kept more people on if those things had worked out differently. Why?

@mm2801 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Ratcliffe sounds like he knows what hes doing

@andyhello23 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Old trafford is full of plastic fans, like roy keane told you in 1990s

Do you people remember roy keane rubbishing all the fake fans in old trafford in 1990s

Sacking 500 locals who work at old trafford, driving even more resentment between the club, and the community who made that team

@Mr.Mas88 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

A bit patient needed.Glazers don't sell the club and there's no buyer to pay 6B to glazers and on top of that clear out the 1B debt and build a new stadium.It's nearly a 10B transaction for anyone who wants to buy United. So calm down and let's wait couple of years to see what Ineos going to do.

@Tyrese-z4i April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

You’re just as stupid as the glazers , please get out of our club

@kevinconway2965 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

The BBC took a whole month to release the full interview and you couldn't fix the sound? Embarrassing.

@OfficialJoeyRedford April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

How hard is it to ask, “ are you happy you’ve saved the glazzers? “

@xxNathanFTW April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

The Rat in "Ratcliffe" is definitely ironic.

@AliK-l1j April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Fire the sound guy

@blacsheep19 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

You'd think a 76 year old billionaire would be smart enough to see his being used by the glazers to take all their blame whilst they still fleece united

@blacsheep19 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

The glazers debt put on the club is the number one reason united is a mess

Why the interviewer not talking about this fact

@johnrider5701 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

He's a massive gift for the Glazer's because he takes the heat off of them without them spending a single penny on the club. The trouble is that INEOS and Radcliffe won't spend the kind of money the club needs. The players are not good enough and the stadium is going to be a money pit thats going to cost billions.

@QueensGurkhaRegiment April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

He can’t compete with the oil states. Clubs done. Glad I saw all the fergie era. Until full sale happens, premier league and champions league trophies wont be coming to OT.

@MisterKaxtro April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Bad sound from BBC

@krob2327 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Hi football fans. You need to take your sport back from these types. They are bleeding you dry for a sport that used to be fun now it’s a plaything of parasitic cancers.

@leemccann88 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Ticket price is a scam. All clubs putting up to make cash for them self. Don't believe him

@leedavies9760 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Absolute scam artist, just a puppet for the glazers, i hope the UK government don't bother with he regen and I'm a utd fan #glineosout #yourdebtnotours

@jimbrocklehurst6678 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Glazers are still owners and calling shots.

@starrage7926 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

GLAZERS AND INEOS OUT

@lookylookie April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

An iconic football stadium that will look like a circus at a club being run like a circus by circus clowns
#fullsale #glazersout

@alexlarby7917 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Let's be honest – since David Gill retired, the club has taken a nosedive.

@roymitchell5894 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Jeeez!! Can the BBC not find anyone skilled enough to mic up the interviewer? Did nobody notice it in realtime or post production? Really amateurish

@garydurkin337 April 5, 2025 - 4:33 pm

Delusional everyone in club football pays staged payments, ur not buying those players this window, what a bare faced lie
