Simon Jordan's alternative 2024-25 season awards: Why Sir Jim Ratcliffe left me pulling my hair out, my response to cheeky James Maddison and the irony of Enzo Maresca's F-bomb

PULLING MY HAIR OUT MOMENT

Listening to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s utter nonsense going unchallenged in interviews with the BBC's Dan Roan and Sky Sports' Gary Neville, in March.

There was little pushback to his pronouncements on redundancies and the absurd claim that Manchester United were running out of cash.

I would have liked to have cross-examined Ratcliffe myself, but that opportunity didn’t arise.

The idea linking the need for redundancies among the staff at Old Trafford to United having no money is ridiculous. As of December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were £95.
