I guarantee you, if someone kicked an Arsenal player the way Declan Rice did, Arteta would be up in arms, out of his box and sending another letter to the FA after the match.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the broke billionaire.
MANCHESTER UNITED
He paid $33 a share. It closed at $20.00 this week.
At a $3.44bn market cap, his roughly 29% stake is worth about $1.0bn on the market. Around 39% below what he paid.
Club net debt passed $1bn for the first time. The $425m of 3.79% notes were refinanced into $550m at 5.36%. Cash at 31 March: £60.9m, down from £73.2m.
A £3bn new stadium, "privately financed" with no commencement date in sight.
Until February 2027, if the Glazers accept $33+ a share for the club, Ratcliffe is legally forced to sell too.
OGC NICE
Bought for about €100m in 2019. Asked €200m. Price cut. US sale collapsed in June 2026. Now needs €40m in player sales just to spend.
INEOS AUTOMOTIVE
Built to make 30,000 cars a year at Hambach. 2025 production came in under 7,000, down from 7,500 in 2024. Two straight years of nine-figure losses. Hundreds of job cuts.
PERSONAL FORTUNE
2023: £29.69bn
2024: £23.52bn
2025: £17.05bn
2026: £15.19bn
£14.5bn gone in three years. Down about 50%. From 2nd richest in Britain to 9th.
DEBT
By late 2025, INEOS Group Holdings and INEOS Quattro carried over £18bn of debt, up almost £3bn in a single year.
Annual debt servicing costs: £1.8bn. Up £600m in a year.
Projected Quattro's debt at 16.7x earnings for 2026.
In February 2026, S&P cut Group Holdings to B+ and Quattro two notches to B. No sustained recovery before 2028.
BORROWING
May 2026: €700m of new notes at 7.875%.
Group Holdings paid €474.8m in interest and finance items in just the first half of 2026.
INEOS QUATTRO
Even in the best chemicals quarter in years, Quattro lost money.
Q2 2026 loss: €34.7m
H1 2026 loss: €66.2m
Debt: €7.14bn
Total equity: €1.82bn
Shareholders had to inject €200m of fresh equity to prop it up.
NO DIVIDENDS
INEOS skipped its dividend for a second straight year. Group revenue fell from €16.2bn to €14.3bn in 2025, and European earnings nearly halved, from €470.2m to €252.3m.
Meanwhile, in H1 2026 alone, Group Holdings and Quattro paid a combined €86.1m in management fees to INEOS Services, a company owned by the same parent Ratcliffe controls.
Cash fell from €2.58bn at New Year to €1.85bn by June.
EUROPE
Antwerp: €3.0bn already drawn on its loan facilities. Start-up pushed to 2027 after the final modules got stuck at the Strait of Hormuz. INEOS is now suing Flanders and taking Belgium to international arbitration over about €1.5bn of claimed losses.
Tottenham spent over £300 million this summer... and have only beaten a Championship side this season. ❌
How long until De Zerbi comes under pressure? 👀
