How Nice fared in first years of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS ownership

Image
Shortly after acquiring OGC Nice in the summer of 2019, INEOS CEO Sir Jim Ratcliffe lambasted the failings of Manchester United. "United have spent an immense amount since [Sir Alex] Ferguson left and been poor, to put it mildly. Shockingly poor, to be honest," Ratcliffe sniffed. "We have a different approach here [at Nice] to be moderately intelligent about it." Four years on, Ratcliffe has acquired a minority but i NFL uential stake in a club that he claimed to "have lost the plot". With dramatic changes on the horizon for United, here's how Ratcliffe's "moderately intelligent" approach fared during his first few years at Nice.

TikTok says US threatens ban if Chinese owners don't sell stakes

The Biden administration has demanded that TikTok's Chinese owners divest their stakes in the popular video app or face a possible US ban, the company told Reuters on Wednesday.
