CBS記者Ben Jacobs：英力士集團主席韋列夫爵士收購25%曼聯股份報價包括取得體育方面控制權，所以英力士集團願意開出比92基金會高估值嘅報價。
接近英力士集團消息源指，雖然並未有清晰計劃細節，但英力士集團會投入大量資金係球場、訓練場翻新及男女子足球隊投資上。
英力士集團已經計劃審視球會狀況，亦都已經有多個新管理層人選，其中一個人選為前摩納哥體育主管保羅米曹（Paul Mitchell），保羅米曹非常樂意擔任曼聯體育總監，並已經係英格蘭西北地方購入新宅。
曼聯高層將會投票決定是否接受英力士集團方案。英力士集團方案包括將來收購大部分曼聯股份及取得曼聯所有控制權嘅路線圖，英力士集團主席韋列夫爵士希望2026年實現路線圖最終目標。
Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s 25% offer for #MUFC is contingent on sporting control, which explains (along with only going for a smaller stake) why he’s valued the club substantially higher than Sheikh Jassim. It also has a path to eventual control.🔴
Those close to Ratcliffe have said from day one they also plan major investment and that meetings in Manchester and due diligence showed all parties exactly what was necessary…
Sources close to the Ratcliffe have always stated, without giving a specific number or timescale, they would earmark “significant funds” for developing the stadium, facilities and investing in the men’s and women’s teams. They didn’t feel it appropriate to specify in the process.
As previously revealed, Ratcliffe plans to undertake a review of the club but has already shortlisted various football names to take a day-to-day role at #MUFC, which is normal even ahead of anything being signed off
Paul Mitchell is very keen on a sporting director role and is one name under consideration having recently left Monaco. INEOS have previously looked at him for Nice. Mitchell has recently moved into a new house in the north west of England.
Ratcliffe hasn’t officially won yet, but there is an upcoming board meeting to vote on his proposal, which includes a path to a majority stake and eventual control of the club. Under his original structure, Ratcliffe wanted this option by 2026.
