That's a very good point about Scruffy selling up
If public money is used to rebuild the swamp (or to build new) the Glazers could, I think would, sell and make a fortune. The local and national taxpayers however........

Hmmmmmm..

The current Etihad stadium was originally built for the 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games. It had nothing to do with City.

The stadium was offered to United, but they didn’t want it. They wanted to say at Old Toilet and to expand it.

If City hadn’t taken the stadium on it would have become a white elephant.

City gave up Maine Road, which was demolished and became housing.

City’s lease agreement on the stadium is for 250 years. If City honour the lease agreement MCC will get £1bill from City which goes back to the residents of Manchester, RED and blue.

City have paid for all of the expansions and upgrades in the Etihad stadium. As well as ploughing £100mill’s into East Manchester, investing in the area, and creating 1000’s of jobs.

Whilst Sheikh Mansour and City have done all of that and much more for Manchester, the Glazers and United have done fuck all for Trafford.
Glazers leech money out of the swamp whilst our owners are restrained from investing THEIR OWN MONEY into the club (along with Newcastle and Villa in theirs).
I struggle to see the logic of that.
(Oh, and the rags are also in debt!)
 
No chance Starmer would ok a big money subsidy for Old Trafford in my opinion. It would be political suicide.
tbf everything he has done so far has been political suicide, if we go by his current form he could okay and then say he didnt know it happened, it was approved before he got there, they are going to have suspend free healthcare to pay for it.
