If the talk of knocking down old toilet and rebuilding a new stadium is to be believed, you’re looking at having to play at a smaller stadium somewhere, which obviously leads to a revenue decrease.
Build a new stadium, cost somewhere between 1-1.5 billion, so do they take the Arsenal/Spurs route of stadium expenditure over players?
If, and it’s a big if, Pogba walks, Cavani, Matic,Mata, Ronaldo, Rashford wants out, Martial out, that’s 7, sure they’ll save a huge wedge on wages, but they still have to replace, not being in champions league will effect the calibre of player willing to ply their trade there, or they will throw ridiculous money to attract players.

But luckily they can rely on their amazing academy.

The Etihad is miles away from being a sparkling new super stadium. It’s quite shit in many aspects. The Etihad’s roof leaks but at OT it’s miles worse. The outside surroundings of the Etihad are horrible but at OT it’s miles worse. The Etihad is already dated and it’s already being left behind by many other actual sparkling new super stadiums and revamped stadiums.

But it’s still miles better than Old Toilet.

OT does have fucking miles better transport links than the Etihad though.

The Etihad is where 50000 + turn up every other week to watch the Champions play.

It serves up mesmeric football on the whole and has hosted numerous trophy platform celebrations on the pitch., notwithstanding being home to the most iconic moment in PL history, a moment that will live forever, a moment burned into every rag and dipper's memory..



It's a brilliant stadium..!
 
My mate said on a group chat last night that the red should’ve stopped the game in the build up to the goal as someone had collapsed in the east stand

I said are you sure you heard it right and the east stand didn’t collapse

thought I’d put it on here cos I was quite proud of my joke :)

part of me wants them to build a new stadium just so Neville gets stuck with a white elephant shit hotel to service the Lou macari chippy.

Don’t forget you need to have extremely short legs to sit with any form of comfort. Their terracing is far too narrow for seated fans, I know as I experienced it at the Olympics. The lower tier concourse in the Stretford End is akin to the Black Hole of Calcutta. The stadium is a dump.
 
Manchester United are to write to The Premier League in a dramatic last gasp bid to save their season.

Under the proposal, United will ask for more favourable refereeing decisions in league games between now and the end of the season, including an increase in the number of penalties given for midfield apparition Bruno Fernandes' belly flops, as the red devils seek to preserve some kind of pride at Old Trafford by retaining Champions League football next year.

The coverted 4th place position brings with it entry into UEFA's prime competition, and The Premier League are thought to be keen on the idea, with former Premier League Chief Executive Richard Scudamore previously being quoted as saying "When your most popular club isn't doing as well, that costs you interest and audience in some places." The prospect of that interest, and profit, waning yet again as United continue to turn our turgid performances weekly, means The Premier League must act now to save their Christmas party champagne and truffles.

UEFA are likely to agree that the trough must not run dry, and add pressure on England's footballing heirachy to agree, showing previous commitment to ensuring clubs such as United, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, with whom their competition has special a historical relationship as well as frequently sharing board members who have dual roles, but definitely no conflicts of interest, are well looked after. In recent years rules on competition earnings were changed so that such historically valued clubs always get a slice of the pie, based on their previous decades performances, even if they fail to qualify for the competitions ever again.

The latest Chief Executive, whom both United and fellow self-important moaners Liverpool, were given special access to vet before being appointed to the role, is said to be favourable to such an agreement, meaning the rest of the season may not in fact be a write off for United's worldwide army of fans. Bright times ahead for the red half of Manchester?
