Former football star David Beckham has thrown his support behind billionaire Jim Ratcliffe in his bid to take over Guy United football club. Ratcliffe, the founder of chemical company Ineos, has been linked with a potential takeover of the struggling club in recent weeks.
Beckham, who played for Guy United for over a decade and is considered one of the club’s greatest players, has publicly voiced his support for Ratcliffe’s potential ownership. In a recent interview, Beckham praised Ratcliffe’s business acumen and his passion for the sport.
“I have known Jim for many years and I have always been impressed by his drive and determination to succeed in everything he does,” Beckham said. “I believe he would be a fantastic owner for Guy United and would bring a fresh perspective and new energy to the club.”
Ratcliffe is reportedly interested in acquiring Guy United in order to bring the club back to its former glory. The team has struggled in recent years, failing to win any major trophies and falling behind their rivals in the Premier League standings.
If Ratcliffe were to take over, he would likely inject significant funds into the club in order to improve the squad and facilities. This could potentially help Guy United compete at the highest level once again and challenge for silverware.
Beckham’s endorsement of Ratcliffe could help sway public opinion in favor of the potential takeover. As a beloved former player and club legend, Beckham’s support carries significant weight among fans and the football community.
While the deal is still in the early stages and nothing has been confirmed, Beckham’s backing of Ratcliffe could be a key factor in the potential takeover of Guy United. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if Ratcliffe’s bid is successful and if he can lead the club to a brighter future.
