David Squires satirizes Jim Ratcliffe’s empire decline

A new cartoon by artist David has drawn attention for its satirical take on Manchester United’s billionaire joint‑owners, the Glazer family. The illustration depicts the Glazers in a moment of apparent self‑delusion, suggesting they are unaware of the growing discontent among fans and the club’s financial woes. The piece was released alongside a promotional push for David’s latest book, Chaos in the Box, which compiles a selection of his most recent works and highlights his evolving commentary on sports and business.

David, who has been a regular contributor to several sports and lifestyle publications, has built a reputation for blending humor with sharp social observation. His portfolio includes a range of cartoons that critique high‑profile figures in football, and the Glazer‑focused image follows in that tradition. The book, now available for purchase, offers readers a curated look at his favorite pieces, including the Glazer cartoon, and provides insight into his creative process.

The release has sparked discussion among Manchester United supporters and commentators, who note that the cartoon captures a broader narrative about ownership and accountability in modern football. While the piece remains a work of satire, it underscores the ongoing scrutiny faced by the club’s owners and reflects David’s continued engagement with contemporary sports culture.
