Not very Nice
Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit has slammed Manchester United bidder Sir Jim Ratcliffe as he claimed the billionaire’s company Ineos can’t even “run Nice”.
Petit told Foot01: “Since Ineos arrived in Nice, I don’t know who makes decisions. Where they want to go, what they want to do with Nice, especially since with MUFC behind us we don’t know if they’re going to pull out overnight.
“That’s what puzzles me actually. A group like Ineos, which manages 17,000 people around the world and has a turnover of 80bn, is not even capable of managing a club like Nice and having a clear and defined strategy.
“When you take the best sporting director, Ghisolfi at Lens, who made miracles on the transfer market with three francs and six pennies. You see today that he is in total disagreement with what we are trying to impose on him concerning the extension of certain players like [Aaron] Ramsey.
“Who is making the decisions? Mr. Ratcliffe, Mr. Blanc, Mr. Rivere, whose silence has been deafening for the past few weeks regarding the affairs. He told us in February: You’ll see, we’ll give you the name of the future coach in February.
“It’s the end of May and we still don’t know what’s going to happen at Nice. The market coming up quickly. The direction that INEOS and OGC Nice want to take, I have no idea!”
