The potential of these stuffy twats winning the europa and getting champions league football really pisses me off but I take comfort knowing how they must have felt after we did 4 in a row, the treble, centurions and much more…!

They play Lyon next (5th in Ligue 1) then probably Bilbao (4th in La Liga), and I really don't think they'll get past those two.

If they have the same standard of ref as last night, not a problem for them to progress.

Old Trafford abuzz as Manchester United’s neighbours welcome new stadium plans​

Local people are enthusiastic about regeneration, though some fans share Andy Burnham’s worries over where the money will come from"

This was the headline in the Guardian. I don't believe this circus big top will ever get off the ground, but do these fools not realise that if it does, there property will be flattened to make way for the redevelopment.

They’ve not spoken to anyone. They’ve done as much research as Burnham has that the visitors, revenue & jobs created stack up.

Their fans need to stage another demonstration and maybe this time they'll try to divert their attention with plans for a half time free brothel staffed by the best Hollywood has to offer.

With the officials in their pocket it’s a given.
Just seen the 2nd penalty from last night, what a joke of a decision.

5th in Ligue 1 isn't very good actually. But Bilbao has the final, so they will be running through brick walls for that to happen.

Apparently the bit about them being broke by Christmas is total bollocks. They've called him out on it.

Just another lie to get rid of more tea ladies.

I think Keir Starmer and Scruffy Jim are in cahoots with this new stadium Jobby.
All those on benefits will be given season tickets for the new swamp. They will sign on during match days and will have to do this until they find a job.
Thank me later Mr Starmer.

 

[doobyedoobye]

It's clear that they do not have a coherent footballing strategy and this new ownership dynamic is creating even more confusion at the club..Which didn't seem possible....

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

So is it right, that arsenal had to pay for all the surrounding infrastructure when they moved, the travel links, the concourse etc, but taxpayer's will pay for united?

did the ref give it initially ? did var intervene ? didnt see any of it , fuck em anyway they wont win it

Best performance of the season according to sycophantic media. Being handed three penalties on a plate is progress apparently.

£300m of public money for Old Trafford

Drip by drip the truth is emerging.

Allegedly there is a £20bn shortfall in public finances. Cuts have to be made. However, a previously never mentioned scheme is now put forward as a priority and Burnham wants up to £300m (it will probably be 50% more if it happens) to shift a freight terminal in Trafford to St Helen`s. This just happened to co-incide with the land on which the freight terminal is currently located being essential to Man Utd PLC needing it to build a new ground.

Who makes this stuff up - "£7.3 billion annually for the UK economy, create 92,000 jobs nationally, more than 17,000 new homes". These are fantasy figures.

The truth is that public money is essential to help the absent, billionaire Glazers, and the billionaire Ratcliffe. Neither want nor intend to pay for the new ground. They want others to pay for that. And others to pay for the land acquisition and supporting infrastructure without which it can not happen.

All this is speculative and conceptual. Man Utd PLC club representatives were at MIPIM pitching their speculative ideas to speculators in the hope of attracting others to pay for a new stadium.. They said that their plans were “at the very early stages”.

There are no plans ! The costs are guestimates that will exceed £2b as happens with every major project. The timescales are unrealistic.

There is not sufficient land in the PLC`s ownership to build a stadium and utd.do not have the money even if they had all the land. This week Ratcliffe said that utd. would have gone bust if he had not sacked 400 staff. The same week he wants to build a new stadium !

Burnham is not daft. He is though disingenuous like many politicians. Reeves is the same. A marriage made in heaven.

The fact is that this is a huge PR and begging bowl exercise led by publicity desperate politicians who want public money to help billionaires who own a PLC by getting the public and private sectors to pay for it but not the owners of the club.

Andy Burnham wants £300m of public money for wider Old Trafford regeneration

Manchester mayor has stressed that ‘no public money’ will be spent on Manchester United’s proposed £2 billion new stadium itself

I thought Neville came across very well and professional, whilst showing passion for a cause he is obviously emotional about.

The part that made me laugh was when he mentioned something along the lines of “why can’t the owners who have been milking money from the club. Stuck their hands in their own pocket and pull out a few quid” - erm…. Ok Gary so what’s all the issues about City (who have done everything by the book) and the “oil club” that’s been stuck to our name all about. Everyone knows a wealthy owner can’t just inject cash from their own person wealth into a club to fund lavish expenses FFS, but it’s ok and expected for the Glazers to do this now all of a sudden?

They can fund infrastructure
