MANCHESTER City fans revel in their team being the world’s richest club. Now they can boast they also own the world’s richest PUB.

For the club has paid around £100,000 to snap up former Blues legend Mike ­Summerbee’s run-down boozer in the shadow of its Eastlands stadium.


The pub is called The Maine Road after City’s former home before their controversial move to rent the 47,726-seater former Commonwealth Games stadium from Manchester City Council.


When the team was taken over by Abu Dhabi United Group less than two years ago City fans, who had struggled for decades without success, were delighted.

First I've heard of this, any truth in it?

Probs planing to knock it down and build on the land.

Agreed and the pop at the RENTED COMS was just another attempt to rock the city steamroller IMO...

City have bought it for the catering staff to report for duty there and leave their coats and bags there. It's to help stop the theiving that has been happenning.

Sometimes I think they must sit around smoking crack at the Daily Star. How else to account for the utter shite they manage to come up with on a daily basis.
