News about Ben Ainslie

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new part-owner of Manchester United, uses an innovative word compass to inspire best practices at his INEOS company. The INEOS Compass was designed by chairman Ratcliffe as a "a fun way of capturing how the company works." More than 100 words, words, and terms that are either heavily promoted or discouraged within the company in order to promote the best possible methods.

Xclusive INTERVIEW BY RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: The year of that drink was 2018, and the hotel was the private members club at 5 Hertford Street in Mayfair, and the tab is now priced at more than £250 million. 'It was a mutual friend who brought us together.' Well, there are perhaps just a few people you meet in your lifetime and go home and say, "Wow, that person was really impressive." You can see how that person has been successful, and Jim was a good example.

Detailed INTERVIEW BY ADAM SHERGOLD: Giles Scott may have two Olympic gold medals and several America's Cup campaigns under his belt, but hardly ever has the sailor had to learn so much, so quickly. These campaigns are months and months in the making, all contributing to the critical race. The Emirates Great Britain SailGP boat has been a bit like cramming for an examination, with Sir Ben Ainslie taking over as the conductor of the Emirates Great Britain SailGP boat. Scott acknowledges that Ainslie's decision to pass on the baton last week was not entirely out of the blue, but that his knowledge of the super-fast and bouncing catamarans used in SailGP's fast and furious world is limited.

Fans will now be able to dream of a new age as Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the current owner of Manchester United, ratifies his 25 percent purchase for £1.3 billion. The Glazers, unfortunately for supporters, are still in place for the time being, but they do now have a fiercely competitive boyhood fan who thrives when the odds are against him in Ratcliffe, who will take over football operations alongside his INEOS staff. Ratcliffe has never had life simpler, spent the first ten years of his life in Failsworth, a small town between Manchester and Oldham, on Dunkerley Avenue.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe is close to concluding his purchase of a minority interest in Manchester United, bringing the year's nebility about the club's ownership to a close. The INEOS chief prevailed in a head-to-head contest with a Qatari consortium headed by banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al Thani last month, but the club is now on the brink of completing the £1.3 billion takeover of 25% of the organisation. Ratcliffe, a boyhood United fan, had intended to purchase a majority stake in the club, but with no success, a new bid for a quarter did the trick.

Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe sealed his £1.3 billion contract for a 55% stake in Manchester United, Simon Jordan has warned Manchester United of the 'INEOS curse.' Barely a year after the Glazers announced that they were open to investing, British billionaire Ratcliffe is about to assume responsibility of the football operations side of the club. No papers have been signed in Ratcliffe's £1.3 billion contract, but the conclusion of a long story is not far away, according to the authors.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe will conclude a deal for 25 percent of Manchester United, which will see the Glazer family remain at the club within days, following the release of Qatari Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani from the takeover battle. At a board meeting in the coming week, the petrochemicals billionaire, a boyhood United fan, will have seen off his key rival and his bid, which is seen as the first step in a gradual takeover process, is expected to be approved. Ratcliffe, the INEOS supremo, had first applied for a majority stake in the club. However, with no breakthrough in sight, an updated bid for a quarter, which is expected to be between £1.4 billion and £1.5 billion, has done the trick. Although the figure doesn't match the £6 billion estimate that the Glazers were projected to have been seeking, it has nevertheless been substantial enough to get a deal done.

Emirates Great Britain won their first SailGP victory in over two years after a dramatic overtake of the Australian boat during a dramatic final race in Saint-Tropez. Ben Ainslie and his Emirates GBR crew won a leg of the international sailing competition for the first time since Bermuda in April 2021. Sailor Ainslie, a four-time Olympic champion, said the long wait for a British victory had been 'horrendous' and "hugely frustrating,' but hopes that it will be a springboard to overall glory this season.

Catherine, Princess of Wales, could wear a brand new outfit to every single appearance if she so desired, with leading designers lining up to dress her. Kate has taken a different route, reusing signature outfits and accessories since she first appeared on the public stage. It may appear that with the help of some clever styling, it can sometimes appear as if it were a completely different outfit. In addition, working in this manner makes her more approachable to the public.

So it all comes down to this. SailGP's third season will be decided in San Francisco this weekend after 12 months, ten rounds, and a lot of globe trotting. Australia's commanding 11-point lead at the top of the standings still matters for very little, with the complete championship set to be decided by one grand finale race on Sunday. Tom Slingsby and his crew have set the bar high all season, but they will now have to execute the exact plan in order to finish ranked in the standings.

ADAM SHERGOLD IN LYTTELTON: New Zealand's home fans were treated with one race win and two second-place finishes as they piled the pressure on SailGP championship champions Australia on home waters. 3,000 Kiwi supporters on the shore of Lyttelton booed Peter Burling's guided his boat to a dramatic win in the second of Saturday's three races. In race one, New Zealand sprinted through the field to finish second, behind France, and they maintained their unquestionable consistency to finish second second in second place behind Canada in third.

INTERVIEW BY ADAM SHERGOLD: It's not too difficult to figure out why Ben Ainslie rates Sydney Harbour as his favorite sailing spot in the world. Ainslie won the first of his four Olympic golds in the Laser class in 2000 against the majestic backdrop of the 'Coathanger' bridge and Opera House. In a pivotal contest in this season's SailGP series, he will lead the British team on those familiar waters.

Manchester United plc, one of the world's most profitable and historic sports clubs, has revealed today that the company's Board of Directors is beginning a process to investigate strategic alternatives for the club.' Many United fans had been waiting for when the Glazers formally announced that they were open to bringing their deeply unpopular 17-year-spell in charge of the club to an end. The statement continued: 'The procedure is designed to ensure the club's future growth, with the ultimate aim of maximizing opportunities both on the field and commercially.' The Board will investigate all competitive alternatives, including new investment in the club, a sale, or other business dealings involving the company as part of this process.'

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his company Ineos threw their hat into the competition to bid for Manchester United on Tuesday evening, sparking a general feeling of excitement among Red Devils supporters. Ratcliffe is expected to face rivalry from the United States, Asia, and the Middle East after the Glazer family announced their willingness to leave United after 17 years in office at Old Trafford, but he is the first bidder to expressly declare his interest in the club. Given that the 70-year-old is worth an estimated £13.3 billion and is regarded as Britain's richest man and a fan of the club, the positive reaction from United fans was understandable.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has revealed that although he has informed the Glazers family of his decision to purchase Manchester United, he has been told that the club is not for sale. "I want Manchester United in its entirety," Ratcliffe said in an interview. I have been notified that my position is now owned. Joel and Avram are really nice people, and they don't want to sell it.' We would have certainly had a go at it if it had been for sale.

VIEW BY ADAM SHERGOLD: The boats are skimming across the waves at a blistering pace, with barely any between them as they jostle for position amid tight and technical turns. Winning here requires intelligence, intuition, teamwork, and determination. When do you attempt that bold manoeuvre that could result in glory, or disaster? SailGP has a reputation as Formula One on the sea, as well as Sir Ben Ainslie, the most popular sailor in Olympic history, who has remained on the track, and it certainly keeps the competitive juices flowing.
