    0:45 Jim Ratcliffe certainly does not “own 1/3 of the Mercedes F1 organization” just as Ola Källenius does not own the team. JR is chairman of a company that has a major stake in Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1- a shared interest split between Toto and Daimler AG. Of the trio the Ineos claim could be argued theoretically is the smallest player.
    An important caveat given it is indeed Toto’s personal wealth staked. Which is very different than allocated resources from a major organization. And a very important point of clarity given you’re trying to illuminate his finances and one of the partners DOES have their personal wealth. The other has a market cap of $85Billion.. with a B. By comparison Ineos is no slouch but their market cap sits at $0.17B. If this was his personal money, that is assets not associated with Ineos capital directly via equity of any kind, I’d be alarmed. But he has made promises to fund improvements from his own pocket. His F1 bet has proven to be fantastic but it will be interesting to see as the sport surely plateaus during the regulation freeze and we approach a new era in the next few years how bottom line performance in his portfolio’s gem that is F1 may affect his football investments broadly, if at all.

      The reason why pl is the global league came from rapid commercialization in the 90s from wealthy businessmen looking to squeeze every last ounce of value and we are reaping the rewards through investment into the league like uv lights for better turfs. Like any free market system, there are inefficiencies, winners, losers and bad actors. Sure you can argue that football teams are centuries old institutions and not a corporation but don't expect investments like Erling Haaland and go back to muddy turfs of the 80s or having English born Calvert Lewin as the league's star player. Or worse yet, having solvency issues like LA Liga.

    Not a fan of how TIFO is trying to spin narratives on things connected to United by revealing part truths..
    Yeah Ratcliffe is a boyhood United fan and he did offer to buy Chelsea. But that was because the whole club was going for around 4 billion!! And it was an open bid. On the other hand he waited a whole year to buy just 25% of United while battling it out with a nation state. Who do you think he's more committed to?

    The reason why pl is the global league came from rapid commercialization in the 90s from wealthy businessmen looking to squeeze every last ounce of value and we are reaping the rewards through investment into the league like uv lights for better turfs. Like any free market system, there are inefficiencies, winners, losers and bad actors. Sure you can argue that football teams are centuries old institutions and not a corporation but don't expect investments like Erling Haaland and go back to muddy turfs of the 80s or having English born Calvert Lewin as the league's star player. Or worse yet, having solvency issues like LA Liga.

      Yep. Man Utd since i can remember always pay a "extra tax" for players, because they knew the club have money and is dumb. Also, they almost NEVER buy from small clubs/leagues (south america for example), seems like they rather wait for wonderkids to join bigger clubs, then pay 5 times his price.
