Sir Jim Ratcliffe was portrayed as Manchester United's mega-rich saviour but has presided over chaos and instability
Ruben Amorim's toxic and unceremonious exit from Manchester United is yet another undignified chapter in the Old Trafford tenure of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos.
Amorim left United's hierarchy with no option but to sack him after Sunday's Elland Road outburst, an ill-judged play from a combustible personality who was already on shifting sands.
It was directly aimed at those above him, a high-risk strategy that became the final blow in a battle Amorim was never going to win.
The cracks were wide and relationships fracturing as he spoke. Amorim's fighting talk after the 1-1 draw at Leeds United was simply the final act in the drama.
