Honestly how they try to make out it will create jobs in the area and they somehow are after helping folk while making staff redundant and taking away food is laughable :)

Fook me the club is a joke and how much they spunked up so do tell us who is gonna fund it ??

Rachel Reeves said it was the biggest re-generation project in Europe. It will deffo create jobs. But that is to the credit of Burnham, not scruffy Jim.
 
I've just watched the video. There is no way that they are going to get the money together for that. 3 towers, 200 feet high. The largest public space in the world. Sections of stadium floated down the ship canal. And finished within 5 years. Anything this ambitious will cost 5 billion, not 2 billion.
 
Yet another big announcement straight after the natives got restless and went on a little protest. Every fucking time and the cunts fall for it.
"Shit the fans are getting grumpy, quick buy a big name player, we don't need, to appease them, Ronaldo anyone"
" oh no they're at it again, let's get scruffy Jim in, they'll lap it up"
Morons.

Sssshhhhhhh......

Dont let the cat out the bag
 
Surprised at Goldstein. He’s going balls in right now about the decisions made about this following all the redundancies.

I thought he’d be gloating about his clubs new circus tent.
 
The way the sketches have been put out reminds me of the sketches we used to get out in the programmes of how a redeveloped maine road ‘could’ look. I imagine grim jim has as much idea how the new old toilet is gonna be funded as peter swales did the maine road redevelopment

plus, should they ever break ground on this, there will be scamps like me scattering roman coins, digging pretend badger sets and planting evidence of great crested newts and bat colonies....

I've got newts in my pond, I'll lend you a couple and as for bats, well I'll see what I can do.

Hilariously desperate pitch. Couldn't be more obvious they're hoping for the government to pay for this. it's the equivalent of your dog grabbing its empty bowl in its mouth standing next to you whimpering.

Not a single penny of tax payers money should go on this. If they want it, they can pay for it entirely themselves.

The people that don't spend their own money on the club, that sack minimum wage locals without a seconds thought, who have decided local kids and oap's shouldn't get a discount on tickets, who think local people should be at least paying the same price as people from the most affluent area of the country, we are supposed to believe these people are wanting a new stadium to benefit local people and not to line their own pockets further without having to shell out a penny themselves?

Good luck finding that 2 billion it will cost when the day before announcing this they've said they would have run out of money last Christmas if they didn't sack some minimum wage staff and stop giving them food.

And live as a tax exile in Monaco avoiding a couple of billion or more in tax.

So Scruffy Jim, the "billionaire" benevolent charitable saviour of Trafford United has plans to build a New Trafford stadium.
But not with his money.
Not with Utd's money (or new debt)
He wants public money.
That's my money, your money, but not his money - Brexiteer Jim lives in Monaco, relocating officially just 4 years ago and he is estimated to have saved £4 billion in tax as a result.

Old Trafford redevelopment: Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants 'national stadium in the north'

New Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe says his "preference" is to build a new stadium that can also "serve the north of England".
www.bbc.co.uk

Includes the killer line: "The people in the north pay their taxes just as the people in the south."
(Perhaps he means the north of Monaco just as much as the south of Monaco).
"I think, as part of a regeneration project, there has to be a conversation with the national government.
The north deserves some thought as well as the south, I think, if it is a national stadium."

He's claiming that New Trafford should be seen as a new "national stadium" as a catalyst for northern regeneration.
What would his 100,000 capacity stadium cost? Let's speculate a couple of billion.
So he could move back to the UK, repay the tax he's avoided and he'd still be billions in credit
