They sacked the visionary wee Davey for upsetting the fans for daring to suggest they should aspire to be like us.

Now, some 10 years later, those same fans are getting excited because they’re looking to appoint some of our inconsequential staff/ex staff.

After Jason Wilcox now too... Begging to be like City in any way they can.

Yes, it's bullshit. But Rag Hacks like Keegan will make any nonsense up to get clicks.(it worked with me) It's safe to say Keegan has no real information on what's being proposed by Scruffy Jim bar rewriting the same guff again, but tweaking it to fill the column inches.

It's funny reading the comments under the article. United fans want a bigger stadium because they think they can fill it. Not 90,00, not 100,000, but a 120,000 stadium. Considering Spurs stadium is a 62,000 stadium and it cost over £1bill, can you imagine how much a 120,000 stadium would cost. United fans are absolutely deluded.

Perhaps they could use Oulton park
to build the new stadium on?
There are a few corners for them to turn there too, which would be a bonus!
 
Rags developing Old Toilet. Not building a new stadium.

The football club has appointed stadium consultant Legends International and architect Populous to head up a team charged with redeveloping the 74,000-capacity stadium.

it's unbelievable that they think they can become US by taking coaches and staff hahaha

it's like owning a Ford Fiesta and using your mates top of the range sports car parts and tyres to make your Ford go faster

Not a great analogy to be fair Ancoats.

Nothing particularly wrong with a Ford Fiesta!!

A better analogy would be it’s like owning a clapped out rusty car, that you paid over the odds for thinking it was a Ferrari and thinking your neighbour was interested in buying, and then when realisation sets in, stealing the hub caps from your neighbours old banger, because you haven’t got the wherewithal to take anything he’d really miss off his nice car.

Very smart move employing consultants to look into the redevelopment of the Stadium, they can go all dipper now and write of £40 million to help comply with FFP

They appear to be hell bent on following our business model.
We're really in the shit if they take TOJ too!

It doesn't take a genius to come to the conclusion that the ground you own is literally falling down and a new one needs to be built.

It also doesn't mean if you steal everyone else's employees you will automatically get the success they had with another employer.

Jimmy's 5 year plan is going to turn into a 15 or so year nightmare :)
 
Seen this on the DT in a reply to someone sugguesting how good our acadmey is and Utd stealing City or ex city staff. I

Manchester United want former Man City academy director Jason Wilcox to join Ineos revolution​

"David adams23 HRS AGO
U18 premier league , Manchester Unied played 15, 43 points, Manchester City Played 13, 28 points he should go back to Manchester City they need hin more."

Is it true and is there any particular reason for it e.g. City's is filled with loads of 15 year olds (-:

I did not say there is anything wrong owning a Ford Fiesta, The analogy I was making is a cheaper car will not make it a better car with a top of the range sports car parts on it its still a cheaper car

Mike Keegan, who must be the new must go to United journalist at the Daily United.

The group is leaning towards a rebuild on land at the side of United's iconic home, with the hope that the project will be done in five years or sooner.

A five-star hotel along with United-themed attractions are being considered as part of a huge redevelopment. A 90,000 'new Old Trafford' could also feature a 'new Stretford End'.

According to Keegan, Jim is going to buy a large portion of the freight rail terminal, just like that, regardless of it being a working fright rail terminal, and build a new stadium next to it, including the rail tracks. Just like that. The proposal should sail through planning without any problems or issues.

Picture enlarged so you can see what would be on the new stadium footprint inside the current freight terminal.

The whole article is a PR piece
Zero details at all about any of it
I could have knocked up a better planning drawing on ‘powerpoint’
They are telling the fans what they want to hear and trying to get reaction to ideas like stadium without having the balls to present anything
All they have actually done is poach a few executives from other teams that may or may not work

Full of shit and shit on the pitch
Lucky last year with cup draws and showed up big time this year

The rags will get their stadium paid for by the tax payer on way or another. CoMS and Olympic Stadium are precedents.

No chance
There is no need for a new stadium in Manchester for anyone other than united
Those other two stadiums were built for show piece events and then repurposed accordingly

Can’t wait for uniteds new indoor arena - that would be a great innovative new idea that no one else had!

It's reads like a rag wrote it and in his dreams he wants all that for his club? Pure fantasy
