Manchester United owners INEOS have hit back after New Zealand Rugby launched legal action against their former sponsor for alleged breach of contract.
New Zealand Rugby says the global chemicals producer, owned by British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, walked away from a six-year deal that was signed in 2021 and due to run from 2022-2027.
The deal included INEOS branding on the back of playing shorts and on the front of training jerseys for the All Blacks and other national men’s and women’s rugby teams.

COST SAVINGS MEASURES 😂😂😂😂
UNITED IS DONE 😂😂😂 STRAIGHT TO CHAMPIONSHIP NEXT YEAR
That Rodent brought shares for business purposes, just like the Glazers. He is eyeing for Old Trafford Revamp as a commercial project.
Glazers own Manchester united not ineos . They are a minority shareholder.
The amount in New Zealand dollars is chump change to this guy!
Actually to finance NZ Rugby in its entirety , from kids up would still be chump change !
Pay your bills!
Shoulda never buy man utd
Anyone but the Glazers they said😂
Ratcliffe bought manu with not enough money and too much debt. Hes a now going to get a lesson on breaking contracts.
They own a ¼
United should have sold to the Qataris.
If there’s a contract, INEOS need to make good. And it seems they had enough money to plough hundreds of millions into buying a large chunk of United.
Cut the Man Utd budget football is a waste in comparison to ruggers
And he wants the government to pay for a new stadium for him
And don't forget INEOS cost saving of £40 on £100 Christmas Bonus to Man Utd staff, INEOS turning into joke minority owners of Man Utd
The guys a grifter.
INEOS is the kiss of death on any team right now.
If he doesn't have money he should stay away from Manchester United
Sue them so that they could go with the glazers
I thought he was making 70B a year?
INEOS must be huffing their own chemicals. They are really good at buying decent things and making them worse. Asset stripping and restructuring only works if you properly invest and plan.
Anyone for a prawn sandwich?
Buying Manchester United on debt part 2
ineos are broke
ineos get out of my club
Sir Jim really getting a bad reputation in the sporting industry
Im more worried about the de-industrialization of europe….
Poorest Billionaire
The presenter should be working for GQ, not talking about football.
He is basically a billionaire who doesn't wanna spend money if you can't afford all this shouldn't have bought into any of it
Rubbish tagline – the Glazers are the owners of Man Utd – Ineos are purely a shareholder.
I am a shareholder in my company but I am not an owner. Ineos are just a face for the Glazers – deflecting the fans anger away from the real enemy.
Man Utd fans will be raging 😂😂
Football fans moaning about a £66 ticket price? Try going to Twickers and paying £266 to watch England play
Would be better off having Sir Jimmy Saville as owner
INEOS don't own Manchester United, it's still the Glazers club
The Glazers goofed by selling United to INEOS in the first place.
Their cost saving and whatever else, has nothing to do with new zealand rugby and the 6 year contract signed. Unlucky
Jim should have saved his money, instead of spending it on brexit bs propaganda
Respect Sheikh Jasim
In other words THEY’RE BROKE!!
hit back…..😂😂😂😂shame ineos!!!another scandal
From $37K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I think it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
Ineos, nobody forced you to buy shares of MUN and help the Glazers!!! Sell those shares back and get out!!!
How life would have been different under Arab owners! As an Arsenal fan, we too wish the Americans would sell their shares. Newcastle are so lucky
You sign a contract you honour that contract. Don’t waste your money on the duds you buy at your football club.
Cost cutting = breach of contract
The upside of NZ being a relatively small economy and population is that our sport sides aren't owned by the Billionaire class. Apparently now they seem to want to not only own the world, they want to run the world as well so they can make even more money out of the rest of us.
I hope one day globally the people rise up , take back the power and put the Robber barons back in their box.
Broke jokers 🃏 how the premier league allow glazers and ineos to own a club under debt is a disgrace they should step in and make them sell up to legitimate owners
Man City are having a tough time but have great owners that is nothing like the ownership of Man Utd. The Glazers saddled the club with debt taking huge dividends year in, year out and now Ineos are crippling the fans with increased costs at the gate whilst cutting costs to the bone to allow the Glazers to continue screwing the club.
Ex Quins centre.
I really wish we took Qatar deal 😢
