Having read through a lot of info this is how it works and all fans should be aware.
The owners of City know that under UEFA RULES in a couple of years they will not be able to spend more than they can earn.
So in order to maximise revenue they are buying cheap land with a Metro going through it (paid for by all of us) to build Sports, leisure and retail on a huge scale. As they will be a major part of the consortium they will eventually reap the dividend from all this. Naming rights etc etc
This will mean they are able to keep on spending big lumps as they will be earning big lumps from new east Manchester
It states in the MEN article that City have the Say on development in the area-and a map on here shows the TAL site within it, so it must come as no surprise that they don't want a fly in the ointment that is FC United. Besides the demographics will change and they don't want a fan owned club that is red on the doorstep.
locals in Newton Heath have invested in the FC COMMUNITY SHARES and will be surprised this morning that they have become part of Blue Masterplan.
The money being invested is in the hands of a rich elite who have no democratic legitimacy, and if what is happening throughout the Middle East were replicated in Abu Dhabi then this project could come to a grinding halt and leave MCC with an Ostrich size piece of egg on their face.
Interesting times as ever-but this affects both MCFC,FCUM directly and MUFC indirectly ****
What the fuck has it got to do with MUFC seeing as they're within the boundaries of Trafford borough council?
And why should "FC self-indulgent wank" be immune from the cuts when childrens centres,libraries,swimming pools,youth centres are being closed?
FC United is a rag joke-always has been,always will be.
A silly "protest" movement by a bunch of "look at me" ship jumpers...a collection of fair-weather clowns,rag shirt wearing ex-hoolies singing "Cantona" songs....a vehicle for the self-indulgent...created in order to be able to bring their "safety in numbers" and "we do what we want" playground bullying philosophy to the lower leagues...lanced and removed for good.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
