Sir Jim Ratcliffe w/ @business
“Manchester United’s net spend since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill is £1.1billion.
Real Madrid’s is £200m. Today they have 6 or 7 players valued at over £100m. United have none. And they have made the new Bernabeu.”

🚨 Caitlin Clark's Groundbreaking Nike Deal
Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever star, is on the verge of a massive shoe deal with Nike, reportedly worth $20 million or more.
This deal, revealed by NBA insider Shams Charania on "Up & Adams," is set to be one of the most lucrative for a WNBA player.
Clark's contract negotiations involved major sports brands, with Nike's eight-figure offer winning over competitors like Under Armour and Adidas.
Stephen Curry, representing Curry Brand, made a virtual appearance to pitch for Under Armour, while Adidas also vied for Clark's endorsement.
Clark's Nike deal marks a significant shift in the financial landscape for women’s basketball, setting new benchmarks for WNBA player endorsements.
This unprecedented sponsorship signifies a changing paradigm, with female players gaining recognition and commercial opportunities on par with male athletes.
Clark's success paves the way for increased visibility and financial opportunities for other WNBA players, raising the overall profile of the league.
While it may take time for more deals of this magnitude to emerge, Clark's landmark agreement is a catalyst for the future of women's basketball, demonstrating that when one player breaks through, it lifts the entire league.
One player can make a difference, remember Michael Jordan?
