Speaking about his thoughts on Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos’ ownership of Ligue 1 club Nice, Ex-France midfielder Emmanuel Petit said: “Since INEOS arrived in Nice, I don’t know who makes the decisions.
“I don’t know where they want to go. I don’t know what they want to do with this club, especially since with Manchester United behind us we don’t know if they’re going to pull out overnight.
“That’s what puzzles me, actually. A group like INEOS, which manages 17,000 people around the world and has a turnover of 80bn, is not even capable of managing a club like Nice at the moment and having a clear and defined strategy.
“Who is making the decisions? Mr. Ratcliffe, Mr. Blanc, Mr. Rivère, whose silence has been deafening for the past few weeks regarding the affairs. He told us in February: You’ll see, we’ll give you the name of the future coach in February.
“It’s the end of May and we still don’t know what’s going to happen at Nice with the market coming up quickly. The direction that INEOS and OGC Nice want to take, I have no idea!”
This could come as worry for Man United fans, as Ratcliffe tries his best to take over the club. He’s reportedly the favorite to win the current bidding process, having only bid to take over 51% of the club and allow the Glazers to stay in some capacity.
