Ratcliffe is now known as “Man Utd co-owner” in all these news stories, that probably never would’ve been reported if he wasn’t… even though it’s a political / current affairs story, not a football one.
He’s one of the UK’s richest people (by nationality, not residence), a hugely successful entrepreneur, and an employer of thousands of British people. Yet him owning a football club is bigger than all of that.
What role / job / position would he have to hold to relegate “Man Utd co-owner” in these headlines? Obviously Prime Minister or something, but I’m curious where people see the tipping point. |  |

Tinned steamed puddings.
To be fair the Sky News story linked in the other thread that appears to be one of the earliest ones, has him down as INEOS owner before Man U co-owner. |  |

To be fair, they wouldn't be what they are today without him.
He was an early investor. [Post edited 12 Feb 13:22]

To be fair he went to great lengths to give the impression that he founded it, I believe there was a legal battle with the actual founders |  |

I think it is the title to establish to the reader why we should/may know him. What is he known for that they can relate to.
Who knows he runs ineos?. A few. Who knows he is man u owner, more?
How many people know Alan Brazil as radio presenter or footballer? Nowadays I am sure he is more commonly known as radio presenter and then a former footballer. |  |
