We're not going to go out and buy big names, as that wouldn't make it a virtuous circle. No project can reach maturity that quickly. Their presence was a huge part of our desire to purchase the club and nothing has changed."Īnd Bob Ratcliffe called for patience: "Our objectives haven't changed, and this is only our second season in control of OGC Nice. The director of football has solid experience in terms of negotiations and in identifying the profiles of players. The president has links with the LFP and with the world of football, as well as with the mayor of Nice. They are good people in order for the club to grow even more. Jean-Pierre and Julien have already done a lot of things for the club. When we were first interested in the club, we soon realised the calibre of the people we were dealing with. I also spend quite a lot of time with Jean-Pierre when I'm in Nice. I speak regularly with Julien on the phone. Our mission is to have the three clubs working together in order to develop players and make this a long-term project." "There will be opportunities for us in 2021"Īt Nice, the CEO of INEOS Football is delighted with the working relationship with Julien Fournier, INEOS Director of Football, and Jean-Pierre Rivère, the President of OGC Nice: "Our relationship is excellent. We must put our faith in young players, push them on to a better level, and of course sometimes sell them. This is what we need to do in order to compete with the top clubs. There are bridges between the clubs and common goals. You will have understood that our three clubs work together. We can also note the quality of players trained up at RC Abidjan who are starting to emerge, notably at Lausanne. In the other direction young Dan Ndoye is showing great enthusiasm.

The project also has a global vision: we see Brazao and Guessand who are playing for Lausanne and who are gaining experience of professional football in a good league. I know we were knocked out prematurely, and nobody is happy about that. Undoubtedly we were a little bit ahead of where we expected to be. We are 12th in L1 and there is still a lot of the season to be played." He then reminded people of the successes since the start of the project: "Look at the previous season: the results launched the project of INEOS football. Patience, in sport in general and in football in particular, is a key virtue." From the start, Bob Ratcliffe wanted to be reassuring: "INEOS isn't a company that is prone to panic. "We have learned from our experience at Lausanne. In an interview with Nice-Matin published this Thursday, Bob Ratcliffe, CEO of INEOS Football spoke at length about the INEOS project, the first part of the Gym's season and the news from the rouge et noir club, all the while looking ahead to the future.
