Good to see Eric Cantona speak out against Ratcliffe and say that he wouldn’t have signed for Man United if Ratcliffe had been a major shareholder back then. ( Well, maybe a bit too easy to make a statement like that but Cantona was always an unusual footballer and I suspect that he did ( and does ) have principles and blah blah.
Not that I didn’t hate him after THAT game - in the season we went down under Ray Wilkins . I was seated behind the home goal in the loft and we were leading 1-0 ( forget who scored ) and United were piling on the pressure and the referee allowed 6 minutes ( in those days unheard of…) minutes of injury time and with sinking hearts all around and notwithstanding a desperate defence, Cantona scored ( I think it was in the 93rd or 94th minute but it was a long time ago). And that’s when I knew we would get relegated that season. [Post edited 23 Sep 23:51]

A long time ago? The bloody ref has only just got round to blowing. | | | |

So many “principles” that he made the (very rare back then) move from Leeds to Manchester - hated rivals.
I seem to recall the move was all about Leslie Ash and piles of cash
No issue with Ratcliffe myself
Seen a few things he’s said about OGB and tge state of things, can’t disagree |  |

I was there too, behind the goal. Danny Dichio scored that goal
Can't help liking Cantona myself, although that afternoon I very much hated his guts |  | | |

Someone very close to me worked closely with Ratcliffe for a number of years on various projects, and found him to be a deeply, deeply unpleasant person, who was absolutely vile in the way he treated people. |  |

Met him about two years ago.Came across as very thoughtful.I think he is proud of the country ,isn’t what I would call racist in any way.I sensed he could be quite hardline but he is a business man and economics makes people a bit more forthright as they have to be,and I find that realistically hard to criticise.
Very very split country.Those who think it is right to call out what they see as racist and those genuinely fearing for the economic survival of the country and its very ancient laws and morality in the face of an uncompromising Muslim culture that cannot criticise its own worst acts and view any outside criticism as anti-Muslim. | | | |

If he's that concerned about the country and it's economic future, I wonder if he shares the view that the country might be in better economic and social shape, if 73 year old self-declared British patriots worth £15bn+ didn't go into tax exile in Monaco? | |

Exactly Konk.If he was that patriotic he would be paying tax in the country he claims to love. |  | | |

Ratcliffe is incontrovertibly a racist. He's also a polluter and climate destroyer who doesn't live in Britain and doesn't pay tax in Britain, so any of his opinions on Britain are worthless junk. It's he and his fellow venal billionaires who are destroying the fabric of this country, traitors to a man.
Cantona is fine by me. Can't fault him for doing his job. He wasn't the ref. |  |

Well, it's not a surprise that you didn't find a racist to be a racist when you're espousing racist views yourself. | |

Around 450 jobs have been cut at ManUre during his tenure... |  |
