North Stand Construction Discussion

[Shirley]

The only owners who could afford this sort of investment are overseas BUT most don’t have the political nouse or will to get it done with UK planning rules. Scruffy Jim is there to get that stage done and dusted using his UK contacts but the plan will be to sell up with planning in place, just ask Dion Dublin it’s a big selling point ;).

The Glazers haven’t got the money and SJ is getting on a bit, he’ll be 75 at least by the time it’s built.

Dion…..Up the stairs leads to the roof which leaks unfortunately

5 per cent minimum interest on circa £3bn debt (in total) would be a challenge even for the Rags balance sheet. Personally, I still think the Rags have other debts buried offshore - the old PIK a notes that suddenly disappeared were not likely to have been paid up by the Glazers and are probably a restructuring debt in the Cayman Islands. Investors (Scruffy Jim aside) didn’t find them an attractive proposition when they hawked themselves around the markets recently, loading them with more debt won’t change that.

They without question have huge debts hidden in the Cayman Island accounts.

Going slightly off topic whilst we’re touching on Scruffy Jim, the billionaire tax dodger, I can see this proposed new 90,000 - 100,000 United stadium having a retractable roof, like the Bernabéu, and a single tiered new Stretford End similar to Dortmund's Yellow Wall. Unfortunately it’s a frightening thought. I hope I’m wrong.

Competition used to worry me but not anymore, with our owners and their ambition. Competition will drive us on further. The travel infrastructure needs to come next in my humble opinion.

It will be interesting to see if the Collar site proposal will be leisure and commercial led generating further large revenues for the club, or housing, innovation, tech, jobs, office, etc led.

I would say this wouldn’t I.

I honestly think the Etihad stadium internally is one of the best looking stadiums in the PL and English football.

With the addition of the new 8000 capacity North stand, Level 2 tier, it will look even better.

As a comparison, the 3 tiered, South stand, looking from the corner of the North stand and the Colin Bell stand.(as you all know)

I just can’t see the glazers agreeing to a £2b investment with no immediate return.
It will increase the value of the club but not by anywhere near £2b
It goes against everything the glazers have done so far.
I think it’s a jam tomorrow feel good factor for the rag fans to boost season ticket sales.
Unless scruffy Jim gets funding then this project will be pie in the sky

Diversity,7 day usage/occupation,sustainable growing revenues,world leading online/media representation and continued on field success is what builds enterprise value.

City's strategy and performance is now meeting all these criteria from cash flow not debt.

Phenomenal achievement !!
