Good find. Missed it.

Had a quick read through it. It's all the University of Sheffield, FFS. Both these "independent researchers" CRAFiC and Urban Institute are UoS organisations. Isn't that where one of these new sports finance experts sits, pontificating on City?

Anyway, the report isn't that bad, apart from over-emphasising the human rights aspects and potential political fallout from a relationship with AD. "May affect the city's ability to attract talent". In what universe?

Typical intellectual stuff written by people who don't have the responsibility to regenerate a City quickly in a frighteningly difficult economic environment. I suspect they all wear sandals.

Can't really argue with the conclusions, though, as far as they go, but posters on here have already raised some issues that don't seem to have been properly taken into account in the report, imo.

A pair of moronic financially illiterate cunts. Why are they promoting this toxic hate campaign against our club and our home city? The coverage is incredibly unbalanced, biased, and grossly unfair. Where are the balancing comments from the City Council and ADUG? Why has there been no mention of the thousands of jobs created and new business start-ups in Manchester. This really is an organised and clear hate campaign. How do they think the UK can survive without overseas investment?

As ever you put it a lot more eloquently than me.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

why dont they show ariel pictures of the whole area the stadium and campus was like before the regeneration ?

Oh hang on.

Doesn’t help when a so called City fan and a so called City reporter are happy to share this smear campaign
Of course the US-owned Athletic will be happy to continue pushing the narrative that white American ownership is good but brown Arab ownership is bad

No surprise to see that **** Sam Lee jump onboard, City reporter my arse, manure fan all day long, rubbing his hands at the chance of being able to smear our club once again.

Shame on all you arse licking fucks that entertain the twat and legitimise him as a valid reporter.

They’ll be all on there whatapp making sure Sam retweets it to get city fans frothing but that’s what they want it will get a lot of coverage now we should just ignore it don’t respond to it!

When we react it gets them clicks for cash!

A picture paints a thousand words. We’ve gone from this shithole where nobody was prepared to invest

To this

We need to stop this investment right fucking now before the whole of East Manchester becomes a great place to live

Sam Lee is a wankstain.

I’d suggest more of a shit stain

What a load of crap that article is. The regeneration has certainly helped the area. It’s not liked they took parts of didsbury on the cheap.

At the end of the day the area is still a massive shithole. And most of us would certainly not want to live there. But it is still better than it would have been without the investment.
