Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who owns 28.94% of Manchester United, expressed his willingness to tolerate unpopularity amid necessary changes within the club, including staff and spending cuts. However, he emphasizes a limit to the level of abuse he would accept, drawing parallels with the significant hostility faced by the Glazer family. His comments come in the context of discontent over team's performance and price hikes for tickets. Ratcliffe has taken a firm stance on player quality, indicating they are overpaid, while the club considers a costly 100,000-capacity stadium replacement.
"I can put up with it [the abuse] for a while, Ratcliffe said in an interview published on the Times website on Saturday morning. I don't mind being unpopular because I get that nobody likes seeing Manchester United down where they are, and nobody likes the decisions we're having to make at the moment."
"But I'm no different to the average person. It's not nice, particularly for friends and family. So, eventually, if it reached the extent that the Glazer family have been abused, then I'd have to say, look, enough's enough, guys, let somebody else do this."
