Why Britain's Richest Man Bought OGC Nice & Not A Premier League Team
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 бер 2021
- Jim Ratcliffe is ranked by Forbes as Britain's richest billionaire, with a net worth of $17 billion, or £12.3 billion - but rather than buying a Premier League team, the INEOS founder & CEO has instead bought football clubs in Switzerland and France.
So in this short quasi documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look at Ratcliffe's sporting and footballing interests, his possible motives, and what it could mean for Ligue 1 side OGC Nice in particular. - Спорт
only Alfie can take us on a tour of Nice in a football-related video
He just wants to say his club is nice
Ok ill stop making s***** jokes
NICE joke haha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What if the actual reason he bought the club because people and media keep calling the club a "Nice" club?
Michael Scott is your profile picture, no you won’t. Don’t stop.
You are wrong he bought the club for us favourite niece
I love how Radcliffe helped con rubes into leaving the EU then promptly moved himself and at least one of his companies to the EU so not to be impacted by Brexit.
And claiming that environmental regulations are a hurdle to your company's profitability is another gem.
@@juanpabloperezgomez4349 Why stop at moaning about environmental regulations harming profits? Surprised he didn't claim that paying his workers harms his profits!
Ratcliffe, radcliffe is the harry potter guy
Oh shut up
But most of his wealth and companies stayed in UK where they earn more and will do better than if they were still part of EU, thankfully we got out of that trap, he was right.
Day 6 : Can you make a short documentary about Bury FC? Giving the fact that this team is not exist anymore, it will be another great documentary for this channel.
The BBC made a good podcast series about it
@mac the phoenix club yes, but right now technically they're in the same boat as Northwich Victoria in that the phoenix club and original club exist simultaneously
Maybe get Gary Neville to narrate it. His local club.
Day 4: last 7 players to score a World Cup own goal: where are they now? Or how did their careers go?
Escobar: dead
This is the moment Alfie became Heisenberg
Who’s Heisenberg? 🧐 Is he the one who knocks?
@@James-vm4cp he's the one who uploads UA-cam videos
So, the irish guy is jesse?
Cycling team is now called Ineos Grenadiers
Hey, I think you should post in the community tab asking for video suggestions so that the comment section of your videos doesn't look ugly.
Or make a spreadshit where people can write into
however, all the comments help the algorhtim
I guarantee idiots will still do it
@@leolo1613 that is true so it's up to Alfie to decide.
@@leolo1613 a spreadsheet where everyone can write is a very bad idea. It's better to create a Google form where everyone can send ideas
Thanks for making this video, I’ve been in love with Nice/Nizza ever since I went there on a language trip last summer, and OGC is my favorite French football team.
Really confusing that you pronounce Lausanne like Lucerne, another swiss city😂
Pretty sure he just straight up mixed it up or thought Lausanne is the same as Lucerne.
I heard him said Luzern lmao.....which is also a team in the Swiss league
that's why i thought, for a second i thought Lausanne and Luzern are the same city, but then thought ''there's no way i could be so wrong about this while believing for years differently'', thankfully it's HITC who was wrong here lol.
genuine question - how should it be pronounced?
@@NeilBlaiberg i think like ''lao'' and 'san'', so like laosan (lao like low in allow).
Absolutely loved the writing for this episode. Very informative but also humorous and entertaining.
The cheeky Eddie Howe for anyhow
I love these videos that examine different clubs in detail, hope to see more of them!
This was really nice (pardon the pun) to see as I'm British living in Nice. I'm also a tour guide and tell the story of the noon cannon, so that definitely put a smile on my face. I live two minute's walk from the "Tête Carrée" or Square Head sculpture.
Hi! British tour guide (Paris based)
here. How is it in Nice avec le confinement et couvre feu etc? Is it normally feasable year round work? Do you live fairly central?
Thanks :)
Day 18 - The Biggest transfers of EVERY summer transfer window of the Premier League Era, Where are they now?

That you do a video like this almost everyday blows my mind. Good job👍
Day 1: Best 7 Caribbean Footballers of all time. (Had to either play for a Caribbean Nation or be born in the Caribbean and be uncapped)
Nice is like a grossly overpriced, less cozy version of any Croatian city on the Adriatic.
Cope
As a Nice resident I felt that
As a french subscriber I learn a lot about my own country and our football game from your videos.
On t'a reconnu, Pierre Ménès !
@@thierrydesu ahahaha mdrr
I believe he wouldn’t even say a nice thing about anybody
Another Brilliant post! I just love this channel!!!😉👍👍
Really good video, I like these historic/cultural videos. Keep it up mate 👍
Day 16: 7 defenders who's scored a hat trick
I only know 1
Naldo
Serbian legend Mihajlovic with 3 free kicks in one game
Materazzi, or has he?
I think the swiss defender Ramon Vega scored a hatrick for Glasgow Celtic but I'll need to double check
Edit just checked I was wrong he scored a brace on he debut while Larsson claimed a hatrick
Great video I was in Nice for the Women's World Cup in 2019.
Great video! Heard about this maybe 1 or 2 years ago but I had forgotten all about it
I think a video were you choose the player from each premier league team that would fit best into the derby rivals team would be interesting.
Anyone here after the man United rumours?
We’ll here we are
Petition to get Alfie a billionaire backer for the channel so he can spend his time traveling to countries to do documentaries of them
"Back in my day we could tell our wives to come back by shooting off a cannon" is the peak of boomer statements. It is perfection.
Your videos are such a special and pleasant part of my daily routine. Thanks for all your hard work! Love from America
Thanks Starkai, happy to hear it!
"Hampshire and Hampshire II... CHRIST" that killed me

Day 27: Most shocking/surprising FA cup winners. By that I mean, the most surprising team that went onto win the entire tournament.
Wimbledon 1990/91. There is no other
@@SantomPh didn’t Wigan win it the year they got relegated
Please keep up these videos, they are great
I remember when some Chelsea fans wanted him to purchase the club, expecting heavy investment, looks like that wouldn’t have happened based on his history with Nice
Would you be able to do a video on the history of the football league in the Republic of Ireland?
Another really interesting video but did anyone else get an obscene amount of ads for the length of video?
this channel is epic this needs major finding !
Day 8: Rank all CR7’s strike partners.
Make a video on the career of Michael Laudrup. He Is criminally underrated and is almost never talked about.
Lausanne are not fighting relegation. They are 2 points of European competition. It's just that there's only a 5 points gap between 2nd and 8th .
Seems like he got Lausanne and Luzern mixed up at times
Came here after the news that Ratcliffe is interested in a minority for Man United. I remembered Alfie had made a video of this bruv and Nice, lol.
Enjoyable video 👍🏻
your videos are incredible and i watch them all the time but my man please speak louder at the end of your sentences! u get so quiet at the end of every sentence i can’t hear the last few words! flawless otherwise you’re amazing keep up the good work 😘
An Adrian mutu Documentary would be good !!
Can you do a similar video about Sheffield Wednesday FC and the owner (Dejphon Chansiri) 😮
He’s coming Chelsea
We can say now he's also the Nicest guy
This aged like milk
Fun fact: Alfie was in a popchips advert a few weeks ago
Alfie just made a brilliant Chekhov reference in footballing context wow
I adore your literary devices
Great video!
Nice video, Alfie!
Lausanne Sport are currently fith in the league, just at 2 points of the european places, but swiss championship is tight, 5 points from second to eighth in the league
I’m ngl personally I prefer these types of videos to the list ones
Do a video on the purposed merger between the Dutch and Belgian league
Didn't that just happen? The video, not the actual merger.
They should merger. It makes no sense for the BeNeLux not to be one league on it’s own.
Can you do the shocking story of Uniao De Santarem,i mean this team is doing pretty well and got almost relegated last season but they survive due to pandemic and now they are so close going to 3 Liga because the chances of been promoted to Segunda Liga got blow up
That cannon story is actually hilarious
Alfie, do a vid about the situation with FC Steaua Bucharest since there's 2 teams claiming that name and a mountain of controversial info on it
Hey INEOS also helped Elliud Kipchoge break the 2 hour marathon being the made sponsor
Ranking every brazil forward since bebeto pls do the video
Make a documentary on Kasper Dolberg
great story about the cannon!!

Downfall of the Chansiri era at Sheffield Wednesday
Been watching you a while now, mate! and picked up a few comments related to your boss - which seem to be entirely justified. Given the business model of the channel, would it be worth considering starting up your own channel to reap all of your UA-cam ad monetization? I think you've got a consistent, active subscriber base that would follow you and I would certainly be one of them.
paying off
Could you do a video about SC Cambuur about their last two seasons?
Honestly I think it’s just costs less money to progress a club like Nice then a Premier League club. All the big clubs in England are owned by billionaires, and need crazy investment just to stay in competition for European positions. The fans all expect to compete year in, year out. It’s unreasonable and you come under too much media scrutiny. In France, reasonable investment and good coaching can get you into European spots. Plus the recruiting ground is fertile, Nice is a nice location to lure younger prospects to play, and sell them on for profit.
Make a video on best players for each decade of football’s existence
A video on the mk dons and Wimbledon story pls
He could have at least called the second yatch New Hampshire
18:34 'Just two games remaining'? There are 8 matches left to play.
Great video aside from that :D
Do a video on vfb Stuttgart
what an incredibly detailed video, thank you so much
take my subscription at once
I quick suggestion why not do a video on limerick fc as the story around the club may be a bit interesting I went with my dad and know there bust

As a Toon fan, while I long for the day of Ashley leaving the club, I think Ratcliffe wouldn't have been much of an improvement. Ashley also notorious for buying struggling brands and trying to squeeze profits from them (that's what he did with us).
You may already be working on it but a what on earth is going on at FC Nantes would be amazing
I feel this video should have (or hull city) in its tittle since we need a new owner desperately and of course Radcliffe grew up in hull from 10-18
It’s pronounced Côte d’Azur not Côte d’Ajour Alfie, zur is pronounced like the SOUR in sheikh manSOUR
That explains ineos on the kit

Thankies

I love these videos
Thank you for another great video. It’s sad the terrorist attack 2016 it’s what come first to my mind when I hear about Nice. The city really deserves good news!
Brilliant as ever
If you invest enough money into foreign countries it often gives you a second passport. No point in trying for an extra uk passport so if you have enough spare cash its worth shopping around elsewhere if the convenience of a dual or second passport appeals.
In General I don’t like INEOS. The ineos logo looks like the CBS logo. They polluted the Manchester Canal and other polluting activities. Last season in Formula 1, Ineos was rumored to buy the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team. It took a long time to renew Toto Wolff and Sir Lewis Hamilton contracts due to InEos.
