[give it to gordon]

I disagree
we should offer them our stadium at 30 million a game plus all the matchday stadium income.
that's about 750 million a season
I could live with that

May be but by Christmas our pitch would be fucked and the cost of repairing the stadium after every rags game would run into millions.

Let then hire Evertons old ground than Everton can make money and avoid ffp !

 

[give it to gordon]

all that money spent and there'll still only be one premier league team in manchester, they'll be the west ham of the north, a mid table team in a shiny new stadium

Trafford Council will only give planning permission if the rags stop using another borough name. Soon to be know as Trafford Utd.

I'd rather they were the new Bury.....

I really don’t get what the rags are trying to do regenerating the area around the swamp. A lot of the stuff they could put there is already there. There’s a shopping centre with a cinema and bars in it at the Lowry centre, there’s ski slopes, crazy golf and a soon to be built indoor water park at the Trafford centre. The city doesn’t need another arena as we will soon have two.

I would imagine it’s going to be shit loads of apartments that won’t be affordable to people in the surrounding area, further gentrifying Greater Manchester further.

And then you have Lord Coe getting some cushy job to line his bank account with. Why are non of the press going after them as this whole thing stinks.

I wouldn't let those bastards use the bogs in the academy for 100 million a week.
Never forget than banner .
Fuck them.
Every fucking one

A Scouser fully sucking off the rags is absolute cringe.

Sooner Burnham fucks off the better.

His antics will turn both mancs and scousers against him, all for the love of a few cockney rags.

Take the football and politics out of it for a moment and I'd expect the mayor of Greater Manchester to do everything he possibly could to attract any kind of investment into the area they are paid to look after.
If there was any kind of chance of money coming from central government to be spent in Greater Manchester they 100% should be doing everything they can to make sure we can get it.
Irregardless of the ethics of billionaires getting taxpayer money if it is offered to the region by the government for a specific project it should be accepted, transforming any part of the region through investment will bring jobs and more money into the local economy.
The difficult but will be making sure people like Seb Coe don't skim that money off the top and give it their mates or making sure Scruffy Jim doesn't whisk it away offshore.
People should be directing their ire towards the government if they are, possibly, going to be giving money to billionaires and huge companies (which is what United are) like this when it should be used for much better public initiatives. If the money is offered though it should be accepted because if it gets turned down because some people support a different football team then that money will just follow the rest of taxpayer funds and be spent in Surrey and The Cotswolds which won't do anything for the people of Greater Manchester at all.
I can understand the criticism if this was the only money Burnham had tried to get spent in the region but it just isn't, this is just another way that, may possibly, have opened up of getting some investment into one of the many ignored regions in the country.

We can but hope.

 

[remember arthur mann]

The time's the rag's have been in financial shit, only to be bailed out from some unknown source is uncanny.

They're trying to get their decrepit stadium upgraded for free under the guise of regenerating the local area

 

[Champions again in 2012]

How was the show?

Off topic but it was very good. Exceeded my expectations
