Ratcliffe completed the takeover of Nice four years ago. After some inconsistent seasons, Nice, under its philosophy-studying Italian coach Francesco Farioli, is challenging defending champion Paris Saint-Germain. Nice is second in the French league, five points behind leader PSG after 17 rounds. So Nice can realistically target second place and an automatic spot in next season’s Champions League.
He then altered that stance. “Our position has developed since the summer and we are now focusing our efforts in Nice and raising our ambitions for the club to make them into a top-tier club in France to compete with PSG, ” INEOS said in a statement. “This would represent much better value for our investment than buying one of the top-tier Premier League clubs. ”Then came the Glazers’ announcement that they would be open to selling, and Ratcliffe launched a bid to buy out the Americans’ stake. NICE QUESTIONWhile Ratcliffe is tasked with helping to make United competitive again in the Premier League — a competition it once utterly dominated — his Nice side is impressing in the south of France.

Ratcliffe’s interest in sports — and soccer in particular — is long-standing.
He had to see off competition from Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, who withdrew in October from the bidding process after failing to agree a deal for a complete takeover. CHELSEA BIDRatcliffe made a surprise late bid for Premier League club Chelsea in 2022, despite not being involved in a months-long bidding process. A consortium led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital had already seen off competition — from the likes of Chicago Cubs owner the Ricketts family, and Boston Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca — to enter exclusive talks to buy out former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich when Ratcliffe made his move.

But that could be problematic. UEFA rules in place for more than 20 years do not allow two clubs where the same owner has “decisive influence” on how they are run to both enter European competitions if they could cross paths at any point in the season. If both teams qualify for the Champions League, priority goes to the team which finishes higher in its domestic league.
