The boss of the OGC Nice, Jim Ratcliffe, did not show much enthusiasm in front of the successful season of the French Riviera club.
OGC Nice supporters will be delighted to learn what the owner of the gym thinks of the club. In an interview with Times Sport, Jim Ratlcliffe, the boss of ineos, answered a question on Manchester United … who ended up in a lost ball for the Aiglons.
“I do not honestly know why we bought Manchester United. This is a difficult question. In France, it’s different, you can buy a club for 100 million euros. It is much more accessible. On the other hand, I do not particularly enjoy looking at Nice. There are good players, but the level of football practiced is not high enough for it to excite me ”, said the Briton.
Nice may be in C1, not mu
We imagine that the draw (1-1) between Nice and AJ Auxerre, Friday evening at the Allianz Riviera, confirmed Ratcliffe in his feeling. However, the gym is third in Ligue 1, just two points from Olympique de Marseille. So there is chances of seeing the Niçois in the Champions League last season, at the contained of the Red Devils. Manchester United is still qualified in the Europa League, with an upcoming confrontation with Olympique Lyonnais, but points to 15th place in the Premier League.
Ineos bought OGC Nice in 2019, while the Riviera club belonged to the Sino-American entrepreneur dog Lee. What Jim Ratcliffe could have specified when they respond to the reasons that prompted ineos to buy 28% of Manchester United is that he is himself a big fan of Red Devils since childhood.
