Sir Jim Ratcliffe: 我认为曼联面临的挑战比预想的要大,俱乐部正处于财务困境,到2025年底可能会耗尽现金。为了扭转局面,我们必须实施成本控制计划和重组,并在引援方面做出明智的决策。我希望通过我运营英力士的经验,帮助曼联重回巅峰。 Christina Philippou: 曼联的财务状况并非一团糟,他们的收入在英国俱乐部中名列前茅。然而,他们面临高额债务和利息支付的压力,这与格雷泽家族的杠杆收购有关。尽管如此,曼联的收入仍在增长,这为他们改善引援和投资提供了空间。未能晋级冠军联赛将给俱乐部带来超过1亿英镑的损失。 Matt Slater: 吉姆·拉特克利夫是一位成功的本地商人和终身球迷,他通过严格控制成本来扭转企业。然而,尽管他采取了裁员和削减开支等措施,但尚未能扭转曼联的局面。他要求控制足球运营,并已经做出重大决策超过一年半了。 Nuno Gil: 曼联的财务状况不佳,难以获得合理的贷款利率,这可能会影响球队的足球表现。建造新球场需要大量资金,可能需要当地政府和私人投资者的支持。新球场建设将为当地经济带来积极影响,创造就业机会和促进房地产开发。 Tim Crow: 曼联的巨大粉丝基础是他们吸引赞助商的关键。然而,持续的失败可能会导致粉丝流失,并对赞助交易产生负面影响。阿迪达斯合同中包含未能晋级冠军联赛的罚款条款。客户喜欢与成功和积极的事物联系在一起,而曼联目前的情况风险较高。 Alex: 作为一名曼联球迷,我对俱乐部目前的状况感到非常失望。自从弗格森爵士离开后,俱乐部一直在走下坡路。在球场上,情况已经糟糕了好几个月,我们把所有的希望都寄托在欧罗巴联赛上,但结果也令人失望。我们本应是其他俱乐部学习的榜样,但现在感觉非常困难。 Katie: 我认为球迷有时对老板的看法可能有点不理性,因为他们毕竟是在为俱乐部投入资金,帮助俱乐部维持运营。拥有一个10万个座位的、最先进的球场将会很棒,但放弃老特拉福德的历史令人难过。 Ruben Amorim: 我们要么互相争斗,要么团结一致,共同前进。我们必须团结起来,共同努力,才能让俱乐部重回巅峰。

In the 24/25 season the club finished in it's worst ever Premier League position.

It also failed to qualify lucrative European football.

Off the pitch, talk of worsening financial difficulties and redundancies at its Old Trafford HQ.

Can new part-owner - and Britain's wealthiest man - Sir Jim Ratcliffe turn things around?
