If this happens in any capacity at all,then it needs calling out big time,absolutely no way should they be getting any type of public funding for any project at old Trafford,the sheer audacity of even thinking about it in the first place is disgraceful,but certain clubs I get the feeling feel theres nothing wrong with this and it is the up to the tax payers to rightly pay,just like spurs where looking government assistance during COVID they are fucking chancers the lot of them ..

'The sheer audacity of even thinking about it in the first place..' Correct! Exactly correct! Exactly f**king correct!

I never thought it would be possible for me to despise that club, its entitled owners/managers and the entitled element of its support, any more than I do nowadays. But hearing the 'softening up job' that has started in the media over the past day or so, well I have found some extra capacity to despise them all the yet more. And I've been despising the lot of them since being taken to welcome home the United team at Albert Square after it had reached the FA Cup final against all the odds after the Munich air disaster, only to witness the awful way the club and its owners/managers treated those affected in the years post-Munich, post- (if I may say) 'Manchester's Disaster'

The so-called 'football journalists' who lurk on here should grow the cojones to take on that wretched, venal and self-centred club properly and ask some long overdue, pertinent questions about its behaviour down the years.

They might then come up with media articles which would explain just why the answer to The Red Filth's expectation that the taxpayer fills up the outstretched begging bowl should be a firm 'NO!'. And while they're doing it, maybe those partial, lily-livered twunts in the media might want to explore the following list as well:

(a) why did it take 40 years for The Red Filth to organise a proper fund-raiser for the families affected by the Munich air disaster?
(b) why did it have to be the supporters who paid for it with the 'testimonial match'?
(c) why did the Cantona entourage earn more in payment than the survivors and their families?
(d) how was it that lot secured the nod to be one of the 1966 World Cup grounds ahead of City, which had a superior ground altogether in Maine Road, with 32000 seats in situ, approximately 40% more that at Old Trafford, with first class (for the time) floodlighting and similar transport links?
(e) how much taxpayer money has been pumped into that place over the years (and not just the building of the first cantilever stand for the 1966 World Cup)?
(f) what about the way in which that awful club has abused its power (along with others) to meet its own ends (including the change in sharing attendance receipts, the formation of the Premier League, the threatened formation of the European Super League and so on..)?
(g) how much money has the Glazer family taken out of the club in dividend payments (well North of £1bn in my estimation) all the while neglecting the upkeep of the ground they'd have us believe is 'so important'?

And so on and so on..

As you say in your post, just even floating the idea that there might be taxpayer funding under the guise of 'Levelling Up' for this purpose is an appalling, distasteful thing to suggest. Like with all the things that bunch of no-marks has been up to over the years, the people behind it have got their puppets in the press already trying to rally support for their grand purpose.

'Bunch of chancers' indeed..

How about we shut The Etihad whilst the North Stand extension is being done.
We could leave the confines of Manchester for 12 months and play at the swamp ( pretty sure our magnificent owner would provide the necessary inoculations and subsequent PTSD therapy which would be needed).
Once we’ve moved back they wouldn’t need to knock the fucker down, thousands and thousands of Blues would be quids in from personal injury claims sustained from falling debris & injured knees due to little or no leg room.

So Utd want a hand out on a par with West Ham.
City will have paid for the build costs of our Stadium within 40 years - and we still won't own it!

I did the West Ham Stadium tour last year and their deal is ridiculous! Can't remember the details but they hardly pay anything towards the costs for a match day. Some guy called Boris represented the council. Wonder what happened to him?

Fucking tax dodging Jim asking the tax payer to fund his stadium rebuild. Absolute cheek of this chancer. He saves 4 billion by having non-dom status to avoid paying tax so he ain't short of a bob or two.

If his name was Sheik Mansour then all hell would have broken loose and investigations made with regards to PSR and FFP. But it's Manchester United so they'll be exempt.

Cheeky cunts they thought the good times would last forever and they let the swamp corrode , they've seen what our owners have done this last decade and want to copy our model, I'm sorry but I think it's too little too late , not only is the stadium falling down but their facilities including Carrington is 40 yrs + old , we've left them behind
