that sounds more like a Todd Boehly move, to be honest
Ratcliffe isn't going to go ballistic. I would expect him, Brailsford and Blanc to completely revamp the structure behind the scenes, and that's long overdue. CEO, sporting director, recruitment ... for the love of god, just bring in competent people for once. I'd imagine they'd prefer ten Hag to make it to the summer at least, so they can make structural changes in the meantime and then streamline everything with the new people in charge. Let the sporting director pick a guy with a similar mindset and go from there.
