Goldman Sachs: D-Sol’s remix sounds a lot like the original

One thing to start: Billionaire Jim Ratcliffehas declared his interest in buying English football club Manchester United if its controlling owners, the Glazers, are open to a sale. When David Solomon took up residency at Goldman Sachs four years ago, the banker-slash-DJ promised a new spin on the Wall Street investment bank that has lagged behind big US rivals on a key valuation measure, its price to book value, and struggled to shake its macho “masters of the universe” reputation. The Bear Stearns alum’s mission was to develop new income streams and “drive more durable revenue”, ploughing billions of dollars into consumer banking, asset management and transaction services.
