Football clubs are a lot more organic than industrial businesses – there are huge differences.“Ratcliffe is very hands-on himself. We’ve gone back to an old-fashioned dictatorship style, to a degree.
“I hoped he might be a bit more enlightened. We might see some fresh thinking, but he’s gone back to some old-fashioned management principles.”
