Ratcliffe 'must go' says Man Utd Muslim fan group
The Manchester United Muslim Supporters Club says United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe "must go" after he spoke out against immigration and said the country was "on the slide".
The Manchester United Muslim Supporters group has called for Sir Jim Ratcliffe to resign as co-owner of the club following his recent immigration remarks. Ratcliffe, a billionaire and founder of Ineos, made controversial comments about the UK's decline being due to high taxes and immigration in a recent BBC interview. The Manchester United Muslim Supporters Club expressed disappointment and called his latest remarks "deeply disappointing and completely unacceptable."
The group highlighted United's diverse fanbase and stated that diversity is not a weakness for the club. They criticized the club for higher ticket prices, a deteriorating stadium, and a football team that continues to fall behind expectations. The MUMSC concluded that it has lost confidence in the current ownership structure and that it's time for change.
They demanded that both the Glazer family and Ratcliffe step down from their positions as owners of Manchester United Football Club.
