Is it official policy? Genuine question. Have they announced any form of Government or Local Government help to develop Old Trafford?

Wide scale development and 'improvement' is one thing.So let's get this straight....
We did a deal whereby we got the Council out of a hole by basically buying out a stadium that was of no further use once the Commonwealth Games were over, and we went on a huge development spree which is still ongoing, and we did it plus significantly upgrading the quality of the squad whose home it would be. And we did it with our own money, handouts not required. Yet we are castigated by the EPL who want to put a stop to this progression.
And now it becomes official policy that the rags are going to have a 100,000 capacity stadium built for them at hard-pressed taxpayers expense, no questions asked.
Hypocrisy by the shitload....
Tax payers money to pay for a new Glazer Dome & Rat Trap must be killed at birth.
We must ensure that pressure is put on central & local government to guarantee, that not a penny of tax payers funds, will be used to pay for a football club owned by multi billionaires and with an annual t/o of £700 + millions.
A petition for a reading in Parliament is a must, along with engaging, unions, pensioners groups,fans associations etc etc to stop this long planned exploitation by JimRat, the petrochemical poluting,tax exile.

No, quite the oppositeIs it official policy? Genuine question. Have they announced any form of Government or Local Government help to develop Old Trafford?
McCoist the cheeky chappy who thought the rangers support was brilliant on Thursday despite the non stop bigotry all night.I remember that vitriol tirade from wright.
It was all the more alarming as it came out of the blue but I guess he couldn’t contain it anymore due to city overtaking the arse to the league.
Really disappointing from him and you can add McCoist into the mix aswell.
People hate city for a lot of reasons.
Jealousy
Clubs they support not winning
Paid to hate
I could go on and on. Those types are scum imo. We all watched arse, chvas and rags win season after season and it didn’t drive me to this levels of abuse.
The line doesn’t exist anymore.

All ready got two maybe 3 metro lines what do they want high speed 2 straight to the swamp so they can get back to London quickerThey are not having a new stadium or an improved swamp paid for out of taxpayers money. Best they will get is improved public transport infrastructure out of public funds.
In what way?No, quite the opposite

The City of Manchester Stadium would never have been built without an agreement for City (or someone else?) to take it over after the Games.
And there is zero chance of any public money going into the 'Wembley of the North' apart from transport links. Apart from anything else Central and Local Government are skint and the backlash from 95% of the population would be mega.

I think the tide has turned. We tried nice and it ultimately got us here. I think khaldoon is done with nice as evidenced with we’re not taking anymore ‘pinches’. Any further transgressions will be met with a swift response. I hope so anyway.I might be wrong, but City's handling and public comments on the APT case seem to me to have marked a change in attitude. The club seems much more combative than before.
If the '115' case has a satisfactory outcome, there'll be plenty of libellous comments from our detractors as they react. I'm also not sure that we will, but I hope in that case to see City go in hard with aggressive legal action against a couple of the worst offenders. We may not change their perception of us, but it wouldn't hurt to show those people that they need to take care in terms of how they express themselves.

He won the majority of the case.Prior to end of contract we stopped paying him. He sued when acquitted. Not sure where that’s at.
I think City had to pay him over £10m.
All bias aside I'll be well pissed off if government money goes to a private business worth billions while everyone is copping more taxes and less spending.Absolute paranoid bullshit.

Even for transport links, surely that money could be better spent.

I read something today which said the government has adopted the plan.Official policy?
Will try and find a link.
Oh yes it is. It’s called constructive dismissal.(breaking the contract)That's not the same as sacking him
You misspelt rapist, racist, cheating, stupid cuntsLooks like he backs winners.
From what I've read, the Government money/hand out isn't for the stadium, its for infrastructure and the surrounding area around the stadium.
The Government and United know there would be a massive outcry if the Government gave United tax payers money to build the new stadium.
It's like City asking the Government for money towards the Etihad Campus, the Collar site, and another Metrolink station.
