There is a famous sports team, recently taken over by a billionaire who made his money from petrochemicals, who in the last decade have gone from being one of the best in the world to being on track for their worst season ever. Behind the scenes, things seem to be difficult, with staff moving on and confusion over management. The team seems unable to secure top athletes. Those in charge speak of following the plan, of building back, and trusting the process, but this is slow.
That sports team? Manchester United football club. It could be Ineos Grenadiers, though. The former have had its worst start to a Premier League season, while the latter are set for their worst season ever.
