The BBC is an absolute mess these days. Poor news and current affairs dominated by the London bubble, terrible sports coverage of the national game with no live matches, endless repeats of quiz, gardening, property, travel shows while the comedy output is totally unfunny. It can't be justified any more in its current format.
United pay virtually no tax in the UK and never have. The Glazers and Ratcliffe pay virtually no tax anywhere. But no one in the media ever seems to ask questions about this. Meanwhile what happened with the investigation into Wayne Rooney's image rights. Has the PL launched an investigation going back 15 years like they did with Ya Ya Toure.Utd`s dream hits the buffers - chasm in funding
Talk is cheap. It is a characteristic out of town in Old Trafford.
Last week Ducker in The Telegraph was again using his privileged position to promote utd`d stadium dreams. This week he is quieter. Why has he not provided readers with an update on the reality of the situation rather than plying PR guff?
Multi-million-pound chasm emerges over Manchester United’s land valuation - Place North West
The football club's plans for the £2bn project have been thrown in doubt due to a £350m difference in the valuation of a plot of railyard owned by Freightliner.www.placenorthwest.co.uk
The principal beneficiaries of a new stadium, namely the Glazers, will not pay, and Ratcliffe will not pay. They are absent billionaire owners in the USA and Monaco. Yet they expect public funding to move a significant asset in Old Trafford out of Greater Manchester to Merseyside.
The club does not have the necessary land for their ideas and has just sacked half the staff but this private enterprise wants the public purse to sweeten their aspirations. There are no plans currently, just talk and a PR campaign, fronted by Coe and his new bestie mate, the GM Mayor.
The present situation is that Freightliner, who utd are pressurising to move their huge operation, have valued their land at £400m. but utd. want it on the cheap.
Last week Coe was in the USA with a begging bowl to see if anyone else will stump up for their stadium. Before that they were trying it on at MIPIM but potential investors can see through it.
It is time that the stadium charade was exposed.
Regenerate the locality and beyond but let the very rich owners of the football club pay their way.

And don’t forget all the sexual accusations as well.
Manchester United Limited as a registered UK business must be subject to the same taxation at the same rates as all other businesses trading in the UK:-United pay virtually no tax in the UK and never have.

If they have no live matches where does the accusation that as the first pick FA cup broadcaster they always pick the rags come from? Pretty sure they also show world and european cup matches.
They have made losses in recent years and even before then their profits were modest so they pay very small amounts of tax in the UK relative to their huge revenues. The Inland Revenue have pursued them on several occasions. Ratcliffe of course is based in the tax haven of Monaco. To be fair all PL clubs employ armies of accountants so they can hugely reduce their tax burdens. Their huge interest payments on their debts allows them to reduce their Corporation Task burden. But what bothers me most about United is they invest virtually nothing in the Greater Manchester community and never have. For example the Manchester United Foundation is set up as a separate company so it can raise money purely on the back of the Man United brand. It gets modest cash support from the club itself and I believe even this has been reduced by Ratcliffe. The club is run by parasites...the polar opposite of City.
Yes, completely full of hate for the club.

6 Music, a couple of 1extra shows, Radio 4 and the sport on 5 Live as well as Test Match Special. Well worth it.
