As long as we don't loan them ours. The thought of those bastards on hallowed turf once a season is more than enough for me.One of their biggest issues is their stadium, it may be iconic (pass the sick bag) but its ageing and not fit for purpose,now to build a new one will cost many millions (and they need space) I can't see the tax payer stumping up anything to help them out (and nor should we) but that leaves them in a bind because a stadium is much more than a place to play football it serves numerous functions nowadays
I don't think there's very much iconic about Old Trafford these days. Certainly not since it became all seater, and I'd say the same thing about Maine Road too. Once the terracing went, a little bit of football died for me. Sure, I still miss Maine Road like fuck but that was as much to do with the myriad of watering holes around the stadium as anything else, and drinking options around Eastlands have always been utter shite in comparison IMO. United fans probably don't want to move for similar reasons but if a new stadium were to be built in the vicinity of the old one then they could still retain the same match day routine, right down to Pete Boyle singing shite nursery rhymes down the Bishop Blaize and his mates from Tintagel, Tibet, and Tipperary all joining in.One of their biggest issues is their stadium, it may be iconic (pass the sick bag) but its ageing and not fit for purpose,now to build a new one will cost many millions (and they need space) I can't see the tax payer stumping up anything to help them out (and nor should we) but that leaves them in a bind because a stadium is much more than a place to play football it serves numerous functions nowadays
Agreed except I’m going back to supporting Chelsea.I'm having a break from football if we don't beat that shit at Wembley. I'm fucking off Pep and the rest of the clowns if we don't win.
10 weeks should do it.
Hype.What can the rags offer new players apart from big wages ?
CL= No
Modern Statium = No
Modern Training facilities = No
Fighting for trophies = Not really
Squad hungry for success = No
He might struggle with Pele Palmer and Declan Maradona in front of him to be fairHow's Knobbie Mainoo doing these days ? The clamour for him to be appointed England captain appears to have died down a bit recently.
Thats the Radcliffe play book - he closes the pension fund, reduces terms and condition, cost cuts and destroys employee morale in any firm he takes over by all accounts.
He's here to reduce the club to a minimum, use his contacts to get planning permission for whatever they do with the stadium then they'll sell it to the highest bidder and he'll be off to his next project. Sadly this is probably the right thing to do for them.Maybe that’s why his pro cycling team has gone downhill since he took over from Sky.
He’s unwilling to pay top dollar to bring in the best in the sport. Let’s hope he follows that mantra at the swamp.
