Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

Jamie Jackson, the Guardian's so-called "Manchester football correspondent" must have had the CFA tour. He's gushing in his praise on his twitter feed, managing to find the time to tweet this, on his otherwise united dominated time-line...

That passes for "gushing in his praise" these days ?

What City need is for a player to come through who gets a chance in the 1st team and makes it.

Chelsea and MCFC have invested a lot of money in their academies and I can't think of any player who has come through. And why would a manager like Pellegrini who are under huge pressure to win, risk selecting these players. Even the most outrageously gifted young players need game after game, and the trust of their manager and the knowledge and belief that they don't just have one or two games to make an impression. Teams like Southampton have an advantage in the development of young players because they can bring these players through with less pressure and expectation.

Imagine City playing young players now in their team. Lose a game, and there'd be people screaming.

If I was a young player who I'd think twice about going to City because you need opportunities to play. It's not happening at City at the moment. Until it does, the Academy will be a white elephant

Have Chavs youth ever beaten Bayerns 6-0.

White elephant ? Surely a joke. At the very least this "white elephant" will be earning us millions in revenue from the sale of very very good youngsters. Every now and then some special players will make it through to our first team.

It does make you wonder when you read rubbish like that eh ?

Our owner has spent how much on this "white elephant" ?

Marvin you can do better than that.

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

one thing I'm not really ok with is how council houses are being knocked down in the area ( according to friend who lives there) and replaced with private housing. which is a lot more expensive. Im all for investment, but if that means getting rid of all the rough looking lower income people, just to make more money, then I'm completely against it. if I'm wrong on this then my bad. the area is changing, but whats happening is th epeople who have always lived there are being turfed out.

Unfortunately that is one of the costs of the continuing growth of our club and there are going to be a few more very unpopular decisions ahead.

Unfortunately that is the price to pay in terms of helping our club grow and there are going to be a few more very unpopular decisions ahead.

its not really helping our club grow though is it, its just a money making for the sheik and etihad as a company. How does moving and replacing people benefit us as a club. it should be benefitting people from the area and manchester not just the rich ( who i presume will be buying these houses)

the investment in east manchester should be benefiting the people who live there, majority of them on lower incomes, not breaking up communities forcing the to move and then replacing them with people who can afford it. all the council and our owners are bothered about is money it seems, but i would like to see more care and thought given to who that effects.

Sorry don't agree, I am a local resident and at no point has anyone been asked to make way for any private housing.
Have been to numerous meetings and City have no intention of upsetting the local neighbourhood.
Anyone who has moved in the last 3 years in the Beswick area it has been in the planning for a long while under the New Deals for East Manchester it has nothing to do with MCFC
