It's a load of freeloaders, led by Seb Coe, milking the swamp gravy train.
Nevilles on board as well. He's spent 3 years slagging the Glazers off until that is, they put him on the payroll.
I wonder how many of the sacked 250 people they could have kept on if they weren't paying Coe's fees.

Has Gary Chuckle sold out?

What a shithouse.

 

[Spanishbob]

Still pretty much scumbags

He will tell himself that he is aiding Scruffy, not the Glasierz.
See Qatar justifications.

Wouldn't be the first time.

I see no reason why they cannot shut OT for a season or two and play at Wembley. After all it’s nearer their fans. They are then free to build whatever they want. Alternatively, Hough End is empty half the time.

..its in Manchester.

NEVER
NEVER
NEVER !!

I'm still annoyed we put in our worst performance at Wembley since Wigan against those scrotes.

Pmsl what the funk is this?

Are they related to the k stand commandos and those pesky M.I.B.'s?

Has to be a fuckin wind up this.

Why is it ok for the British state to fund a football club and not ok for the Emirati state to fund a football club from the same City (I know, I know) in the same league.
It would open up a proper can of worms if it happened.

A Wembley for the north is a progressive idea but I still think England and cup finals will be in London.

How long does the Wembley deal for FA cup semi finals/finals last? No need for a stadium of the north until that expires

I suppose London is marginally closer to Singapore, you’re right.

Unsure. As much as I hate them, I am liking the concept of not everything being Wembley / London based.

It’s desperate stuff from the raggies fanfaring they might be going to a 100k capacity stadium, Radcliffe knows it wires straight into their insecure obsession with them being the biggest and bestest in the world. Who’s going to pay for all this though? A club that is binning off its staff and is over a billion in debt and is giving contract extensions to Johnny Evans, the maths don’t stack up. A project this size will probably end up costing over half or two thirds of the clubs value.

And if they did build a 100k seater stadium, won’t it look a bit odd on Thursday nights with vast parts of it not open as the bestest fans in the world didn’t fancy turning up?

 

[dublinblue12]

I don't get the whole Wembley of the north thing, surely Wembley is unique and a special place to go as its no ones home ground, so few teams get to play there

 

[Fordyboy46]

Does the scruff still want the taxpayer to fund this proposed new stadium?. It's a big fuck off no from me

The public are going to pay for it mate, everybody loves the rags don't you know and it will benefit all sports fans, lol

With the state of the country’s finances being outlined that there’s a £20 billion black hole that’s been hidden by the outgoing Conservative government and many major infrastructure projects being binned off. I don’t see how the public purse can pay for it, the Labour government paying for the rags stadium would be an even bigger own goal than the Conservatives scrapping HS2 and only running it to Birmingham.

Absolutely, the national uproar if it happened would be huge

They'll just flood social media with bots and public opinion will change overnight, as with most contentious issues.

I agree but the rags should pay for the whole thing and charge the FA per match. That way there is no tax funded subsidy.

 

[KentBlue]

It's all typical smoke and mirrors from them...again. Tell the tabloids that they are planning a new stadium, then sit back and watch the media take over. Tell the media that Bellingham signing is imminent and he's just having a medical, and watch the resulting wankfest from Slimey Stone and the others.
Once the new season starts we'll hear no more about it. The educationally-challenged plastics all over the world -mostly Asia- will be loving it, saving up for their SkySports membership renewal even as we speak.

It's a rag-ritual as old as time itself, promise the world but deliver nothing.

I thought Wembley was City’s home ground as we seem to play there every other week.
