At Manchester United, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has shaken things up so much that hardly any department is the same.
Erik ten Hag is now among the few prominent players who have avoided being fired after Ratcliffe invested £1.25 billion to purchase 27.7% of the team in February.
The Ratcliffe-led administration publicly supports the Dutchman, but there are reportedly some personal worries about the club’s future under his leadership.
The decision will be taken in Ratcliffe’s war room, which is crammed to the gills with new hires, regardless of the result.
CEO Omar Berrada and director Jean-Claude Blanc are among the INEOS billionaire’s new appointments; Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox have joined as technical and sporting directors, respectively.
However, Ratcliffe’s impact has been felt in a variety of positions, not just the highest ones.
Ratcliffe indicated during one of his initial visits to United’s offices that he wasn’t impressed with the way the team was conducting business.
It soon became apparent that if certain members of United’s larger administrative team refused to switch from their hybrid work structure to a wholly on-site setup, they would be subject to redundancy threats.
