Sir Jim Ratcliffe has the decision of Manchester United to appoint David Moyes as a manager.
Moyes took over at Old Trafford when Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
Ferguson was a key figure in the selection process for his successor.
But his colleague Scot had difficulty having the impact that many hoped – and he was fired in the Dugout in April after less than a year.
And minority owner Ratcliffe hit the appointment when he emphasized two reasons why Moyes was destined to fail.
Ratcliffe said to The Times: “Look, I love David Moyes, and I think he is a really good manager.
“But to go from Sir Alex Ferguson to Moyes is not where I would have gone.
“Moyes got into the shoes of Ferguson, who won the Premier League 13 times, who won the Champions League twice and then you handed over to a man who has never managed big players and never won anything.
“He did not necessarily leave the personality for all of them.”
But even though it is one of the richest people of Great Britain and since he was a boy, the spell of Ratcliffe has not fallen well with fans.

He bought his £ 1 billion interest in his beloved Red Devils in December 2023 and has since had a huge cost -saving drive – including the prizes for hiking cards, discharged and cancel the Christmas party of the staff.
And now Ratcliffe has responded to the criticism by threatening to walk out of the club if it continues.
He added: “It can be unpleasant. And I probably failed to have a nice front. I mean, I can tolerate it for a while.
“I don't mind being unpopular, because I get that nobody likes to see Manchester United where they are, and nobody loves the decisions we have to make at the moment.
“So in the end, if it would achieve the extent that the Glazer family was abused, then I would have to say, watch, enough boys, let someone else do this.
“They can't really come to a competition, the glazers. They have now withdrawn a bit in the shade, so I get all the bloody stick.
“We bought and I haven't seen them since.
“At the moment I have no security, I don't have to walk around like that.
“But it would beat the object, right? You could not tolerate it at that level, it just wouldn't be fun.”
Ratcliffe has also selected the previous regime for allowing the state of United to slide.
He said: “I would not have tolerated Ed Woodward or Richard Arnold.
“Richard was a rugby man, he didn't even understand football. Ed did not have the references to manage the club.
“He was a trade banker, an accountant. He was not the Chief Executive.
“The management of Manchester United has received a huge amount of rope.
“The owners have just managed the club and left the football side alone and they have made many very bad decisions in 12 years, stupid things.
“They made a complete C ***-about it, really shocking. They couldn't see where they were going.”
