- Ratcliffe told The Business podcast that `He has not had the best of seasons. Ruben needs to demonstrate he is a great coach over three years. That's where I would be` and rejected Glazer family interference, saying it's not going to happen.
- Ratcliffe is prioritising youth development by recruiting Stephen Torpey, new academy director, and comparing Amorim’s struggles to Sir Alex Ferguson and Mikel Arteta’s early challenges.
