Andy Burnham | Manchester Mayor

[Paladin]

See Andy’s comments on X.

He states no tax payers money will go towards United’s new stadium.

You can guarantee no Glazer money or no Ratcliff money will go to it either.

Another lie. According to the United consortium press release, the new stadium and investment around the ground will create 90,000 jobs. Think about that, 90,000 jobs. Will it fuck!

It's OK because as fast as the Burnham twat can hire them scruffy jim will sack them.

 

[Eccles Blue]

This is outrageous. That shower over there in Trafford are so bent and yet Burnham the stupid, chicken hearted man who operates at six guinea pig power, a classical ignoramus falls over himself to give them our money!

What i find more infuriating is i carnt find one person who voted fot the ****

COMS cost £110M
77M came from Sport England
33M from MCC

City gave Maine Road to the council for development for housing and also agreed a 250 year lease payment based on attendance figures, which was renegotiated to a flat £3M PA fee a few years ago, plus City stumped up several million to complete COMS so football could be played
I think in total, including MR, City paid £33M

For its investment into the Commonwealth stadium, which would never had been built unless someone had agreed to take it over following the games, MCC received Maine Road and continues to receive the lease payments, which are now £3M PA and will have easily covered the £33M MCC paid back in 2000-2002

What a ****! Can somebody open one of those online protests to get a proper vote in parliament? I have no idea how to start it.

There’s one already doing the rounds

Yeah, they've been sensible to keep it below 100,000 'cos that would be the figure that would get people to raise a bit of an eyebrow as being from the Enid Blyton economics textbook. And the 90,000 jobs? I suppose it includes all those employees that Scruffy Jim has fired to save some grubby money.

 

[Burtonblue]

No way are these cunts getting a stadium built for them by the tax payers.
Makes a total mockery of financial rules for starters.
Scruffy jim and those good ol’ southern boys should have a collection at half time in the stands or ask their Surrey based fans to dig into their Coutts accounts for charitable donations.
Oh and fuck off Burnham, you narcissistic twat.

 

[stan bowles]

Scouse **** shouldn't even be in the seat, I know there are some on here with their tongues up his crack but I couldn't give a fuck.

Always thought the Scouse **** was a wrong 'un and shouldn't be lecturing the people of Manchester what's good for them.

I stand corrected. I think it’s £4mill+ now. I’ll try and find the details. You maybe right?

City could buy the stadium too, but that money would go to Sport England, rather than Manchester City Council, so they decided not to and pay the ground rent to the council instead.

So we’re volunteering to give MCC money each year, in effect.

 

[manimanc]

Has he come out and stood by us with the 115 bollocks?

Has he fuck.

I seem to remember him venting about Everton getting a points deduction. He has said absolutely zero about the shite we get about these allegations.

Yet here he is with his cock out for them red mardarses.

Do one you thick twat and do your homework before you make stupid inaccurate statements that show you for what you are.

Prick.

 

[stan bowles]

We can all see that Scruffy Jim has played you, Andy.

 

[jrb]

Off the top of my head.

What Sheikh Mansour has contributed financially to.

Redeveloping the Etihad stadium.
The City Football Academy. CFA.
The South stand expansion.
The North stand expansion. On-going.
The Etihad Campus.
The Coop Live Arena.
A college, a leisure centre, and other local amenities.
The Collar site to come.

What the Glazser and Jim Redcliffe have contributed financially to.

(I’ll leave it blank)

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Another lie. According to the United consortium press release, the new stadium and investment around the ground will create 90,000 employment opportunities. Think about that, 90,000. Will it fuck!

Meanwhile the Old Trafford Regeneration Task Force has claimed that their plans would provide more than 90,000 employment opportunities.

Not like anything rag-related to be lies, over-hyped and blown all out of proportion really :)

 

[dickie davies]

And no way should a privately owned company, that generates £750M a year, that is extremely wasteful with its cash, is part owned by a billionaire non domicile and majority owned by foreign billionaires who have taken millions and millions out of this business for years, be entitled to any state funding

 

[jrb]

And don’t forget, the yearly Etihad stadium lease money goes back to the people of Gtr Manchester, blue, red, and Mancunians who don’t follow football.

 

[eyalluvitt]

This corruption will make our FFP charges look like a defaced parking ticket

Prick.

He commented on Everton after their decision had been made. No one is commenting of City’s charges on the record as it is an ongoing process.

It’s just fans and journalists inferring stuff and regurgitating the same non-points that keep the conversation ongoing perpetually.

 

[Elbow beards]

This may be the case, but he seems to lump the two together when speaking about regeneration. If it's left to the red cunts to fund their own stadium, it ain't happening so they'll have all these sparkly new shops, apartments and restaurants surrounding a shit dump of a stadium.
