I think Gov money is not going to be easily obtained for any project let alone Sir Jim's.It is just a pure guess but I wouldn't be surprised if Khaldoon and Sheikh Mansour were happy with United's proposals. Sheikh Mansour has made enormous profits on his investments in Manchester. The more successful Manchester is the richer he will become. Inward investment in Trafford can only boost the ongoing development of the city region. I also don't believe Burnham and Ratcliffe would have both been so public with their comments unless they had an investor lined up. Burnham has been adamant that no public money will be used. It would be career suicide for him if he was lying about that.
I know our owner planned investment deals in the past with Real Madrid that eventually fell through so we may find he may simply see investment opportunity with Sir Jim (that's what he does).
