Ratcliffe invokes words of Ferguson in setting out 3-year plan to end City and Liverpool dominance
The HinduInvoking the famous words of Alex Ferguson, British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe set out his ambition to knock local rivals Manchester City and Liverpool “off their perch” within three years after becoming a co-owner of Manchester United. Ferguson once said his greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool “right off their perch,” with United managing to surpass its great rival’s tally of 18 league titles before Ferguson retired. I am very respectful of them but they are still the enemy.” Ratcliffe said it would not be an “overnight change.” “It’s going to take two or three seasons,” he said. But it’s certainly a three-year plan to get there.” Ratcliffe said he is looking to work with the public sector on either building a new $2.5 billion stadium to regenerate the area around Old Trafford, which he envisages hosting England games and FA Cup finals or redeveloping the existing site at a cost of $1.25 billion.
