It is boring and very tedious.

However, the sheeple are more than willing to be led by the gaslighting media.

I just wonder:

It's been twelve years now since the rags have won a premier league title. If in another twelve years the media are left with their pants down and have to report that next year will mark 25 years since this massive club's name appeared on the trophy. How many sheep will be left to follow them?

TNT latest advert shows them doing there bit to keep the Rags relevant.
Right at the end they show captain Ratface.In the main the advert is about European games but 1% of the add includes FA cup coverage which should of been a Palace player.

Such a shame! After all it “will bring £7.3bn a year to the UK economy” and “create 92,000 jobs” - who worked these numbers? Diane Abbott working for the scum now?

Clever PR from utd,£7-3bn of course all to get who they want onside,before bluffing bullshit about the whole fiasco,splashing money yet it’s ok unlike other teams …
 
Sam Cunningham, this weekend's i. Scathing article on United.
Defeat against Spurs cost 5,6 million in lost prize money, 10 million in redaction of Adidas contract and potentially upto 100 million, presumably dependent on how far they progressed. Reference Cunho and Mbuemo, I actually e-mailed Kieran Maguire to see if they've breached FFP. He swiftly replied they haven't as payments are set out over a number of years, five from memory. I never really though they would be thick enough to do that. The i is a weekend edition, if you want to invest 1.80 of your 'hard earned' and should be available at most retailers today OR Sam's article 'Dazed and confused in Ratcliffe's enchanted forest' is probably available on line.

If you look at the videos of the work on the Etihad, about two men and a dog is all that is needed.

It is delightful @waspish
It is so apt that they will build a tent, charge people to enter, fill it with clowns, watch the wheels fall off show after show!

A good read. I loved the bit about the Glazers spending 35 million of the rags money to sell their shares to Scruffy. I'd forgotten about this brilliant piece of business.
It was a private sale and yet the rags paid. As I say brilliant, hell I love the Glazers.

30m? 10m max when we struggling to get 30m for Mcatear who scored more goals than him last season with a lot more games and he isn’t a striker

It is laughable that they think it could be built by 2030.
The area where the new freight terminal will be is still in planning (as of November 2024)
www.sthelensstar.co.uk

First stage of plans submitted in bid to create huge rail freight interchange

THE first stage of plans have been formally submitted for the creation of a huge rail freight interchange.
www.sthelensstar.co.uk www.sthelensstar.co.uk
So…the freight terminal can’t be moved until, the new one is built (and all the other infrastructure required), so it’s what…3+ years if they started now.
IF it started now.
basic groundwork’s can happen at Trafford, but until St Helens opens to equal capacity of Trafford, it can’t be ripped up and start to be replaced.
The demolition and build for stadium and infrastructure is likely to be 3+ years as well.
Probably 4-5 in reality for such a project, given Wembley was 4 years.

A challenging conservative view, would be 3 (for St Helen’s build) years + 4 (Trafford demolition and build) years = 7 years.

But that’s if it started now.

It’s likely to be , 1-2 years minimum before St Helens gets the initial final go ahead, let alone starts.
9 years time at best.
Add in objections, planning disputes, economic conditions, United finances… it’s well into a decade from now.

Freightliner have them over a barrel, they don’t have to move, they don’t need to move, and they will be fine waiting for the start (let alone completion) of St Helens before even needing to talk to United about the cost. The value of land will just keep climbing (Manchester and its neighbours - subject to WW3 - is just going to keep growing), it would be worth more for freightliner to sell the land to anyone but United.

TLDR; it’s not going to happen

The rags need the points from the FLT......

Kieran Maguire’s comments seem vague and unconvincing. I used to think he was ok as a finance pundit but I am not so sure these days. I think he says what he thinks the media will like for clickbait purposes. The truth is that nobody has ever scrutinised United’s finances properly. They get a free pass while clubs like Everton and Forest get hammered.
