Paul Scholes has recently slammed Sir Jim Ratcliffe's management of Manchester United, accusing him of failing to deliver on promises since INEOS took over in 2023.
Fans are furious over 'ridiculous' ticket hikes, with prices soaring to £66 despite the team languishing in 13th place during their worst-ever Premier League campaign.
Scholes also criticised morale-crushing decisions like cutting jobs, perks, and even slashing support for disabled and former players, which starkly contrasts Ratcliffe's claim of being a lifelong Man United supporter.
Adding insult to injury, the women's team was moved to portable facilities to prioritise the men, highlighting Ratcliffe's tone-deaf approach to the club's broader community.
While Ratcliffe defends these moves as 'necessary' and embraces unpopularity, fans and pundits like Scholes argue they erode trust and loyalty, leaving supporters disillusioned.
With ticket prices rising and the team performing poorly, Scholes and fans are right to question whether Ratcliffe's leadership is doing more harm than good.

Radcliffe is a Puppet for the Glazer's. and is running this Great Club into the Ground Ineos will never get there Money back..never..Radcliffe worse than a Politician. promises the Earth..Life Time Man Utd fan my Arse..Glazer's will get there dividends for sure..Radcliffe and Ineos will get fuck all..Radcliffe penny Pinchin Bastard will get Fuck All..The Worst Business Deal Any Company Could Have Done , Radcliffe has fuck up big time
😆😆😆...RAT Cliffe go to HELL...😆😆😆
With all the silly things he's done at the club says he cutting cost like how much millions he save by cutting the workers bonuses for cutting over 100 jobs rasing the ticket prices that a kid have to pay 66 to watch the team play while they not performing.
they would be saving way more if the players was being fine a week wages and it be down to the manager to highlight those under performing players I'm sure they will accumulate millions off that instead you want to cut minimum wage workers bonuses which adds up to less than 10 grand.
he is running the club to be a mid table team no other owners have had the club in this position even with ETH situation they didn't fire him because he won the fa cup even tho the team played poorly all season,
the Glazers didn't give one fuck what LVG won it was already clear they gonna fire him team played poorly all season he won the FA cup got sack couple hours later ruthless but that a big club.
instead Jim and his gang extended his contact 🤔 only to fire him quarter way into the season then bring in a manager with a different playing style and philosophy when in the summer they claim this current manager didn't fit the squad because he don't have the players to play his way.
so they went and spend what 200 millions then ended up firing ETH and hire RA after Jim went 200 millions backwards for this current manager who you hire not even 15 games into the season why they didn't hire him from in the summer and gave him a transfer window and a pree season SMH it don't look good as these they so wanted to control the footballing part of the club..
that's where we're failing at.
and it's all Jim's doing.
these two owners need to go they both seems to be interested I'm making money only.
Paul Scholes is very right on Sir Jim Ratcliffe
He fail to take Nice to the next level in Farmers league,how he can bring back Man U to his glory days?,he is here for making money for his family,am still waiting sheikh Jassim to buy this big club
Scholes is talking the moron blogger is putting ten bag pic
Ratcliffe must be the Jagaban of Manchester United, there is different from taking football as business and having passion for football. INEOS group is not different from Woodward
