Man Utd investor Jim Ratcliffe has warned the Premier League to “be careful” that the traditional ‘big six’ aren’t put at a disadvantage moving forwards, claiming they are the reason the world shows interest in the English top flight.
According to current rules, all 20 Premier League clubs have an equal vote in meetings, and any new regulations that are proposed would need at least 14 votes to pass the rules.
However, Ratcliffe, who acquired 25% of Man United last season, believes that the bigger clubs aren’t getting enough say in these votes and committee meetings, highlighting the levels of arrogance and entitlement he continues to show since arriving at Old Trafford.
Watch the interview below, which only adds to fears that ‘big six’ bias exists in the division:
“They need to be careful that the top six clubs are not disadvantaged, because it’s those clubs that drive the Premiership. That’s what the world is interested in.”

Ratcliffe has shown his true colours here (not for the first time) and is clearly a good fit at Man United given his genuine belief that everything should be handed to the ‘top clubs’ on silver platter.
He is everything that is wrong with football in the modern age and having people like him in football will only make the gap bigger between the likes of Man United and those attempting to break into the ‘big six’.
