They were offered the 'Council House' first but declined, preferring to squeeze in yet more seats at The Swamp under the guise of their 'development plan'.

No 'Council House' and us, no 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester. No Commonwealth Games in Manchester, no London Olympics in 2012. And no development of East Manchester by City and The Sheikh. It's as simple as that.

They and the rest of the tribal moaners around the country can get to f**k!!
I don’t think they did decline. Ferguson was shouting about having the stadium built from the roof tops.
And then City said we get first dibs.
 
I think it is going to be very hard for them to get Govt funding and probably shows where they are…

There is no precedent for this kind of thing and helping out American billionaires, Monaco residents and companies who pay footballers hundreds of thousands pounds a week is not going to go down well.

People can point to West Ham/ City to lesser of an extent. But these clubs have helped out regardless of good deal etc.

When you host these big things there are numerous examples of stadiums then being left to rot, some of the reason why Qatar did temporary ones.

They have legacy teams and getting the athletics stadium to maintain and be useful is pretty much top of the list.

Then you have how annoyed we would be, but Tottenham worse, Arsenal, Chelsea would be very interested and expect to be next.

The only thing in memory would be the Real Madrid training ground, but it’s clutching straws TBH and probably a good example why a Government should not do anything to help in that way.

I unfortunately will never be surprised by things Govt do, but this I would be very, very close.

It’s a huge own goal (pardon the pun).
I would imagine current PL whipping boys Everton would have liked a shot at building the 'Wembley of the North'....might have saved 'em a few problems.
