INEOS Grenadiers owner, Jim Ratcliffe, wants to buy the Manchester United football club. Ratcliff besides owning one of the most successful cycling teams ever, INEOS Grenadiers, is looking to have INEOS DS Dave Brailsford take over the football club.
Now he wants the current Ineos director of sport Dave Brailsford to catch up with Manchester United in order to "Make them the number one club in the world once again", as Ratcliffe stated in a press conference.

If Ratcliffe successfully buys Manchester United it will be Dave Brailsford, the man behind the many cycling successes Team Sky/INEOS had for so many years in professional cycling, who will be responsible for organizing Manchester United to lead the club to glory just like he has done in cycling. The problem is that Brailsford had the same task for OGC Nice but his methods didn't work very well with football and he even received some criticism and mockery from some football journalists.
"He reminds me a little bit of Sir Clive Woodward when England won the rugby World Cup. He thought he could go into any sport, including football, and be successful and it just doesn't happen like that", said Julian Laurens, one of the most prestigious football journalists.

- the “cloud of shame” thing has a lot to do with the cycling world’s REACTION to a doped rider, not simply whether or not they doped. merckx got caught over and over, but clearly no cloud of shame affixed by cycling culture to him. same with countless tdf champions and other legends i won’t list again at risk of belaboring the point.OCexile07-11-2024
- He was supposed to race Tour + Vuelta, but since Pogacar and Vingegaard are going there, he changed to Giro + Tour (just to try to win the yellow jersey at the 1st week and the ITT probably). Against Roglic he has a bit more chances in Italy. Press will consider him as the favourite anyways, as usual. Other contenders not to underestimate will be Ayuso and Jorgenson. Now he's just waiting to see how many kilometers the ITTs will have. to formalize his participation.Acapulco07-11-2024

- He needs a team fully commited where he is the lone capable of winning. In RBB there is several men who can, he would have been in competition.Acapulco07-11-2024
- agreed. and in spite of his doping, his TDF win was validated by the UCI with the mere addition of an asterisk.OCexile07-11-2024
