Are they redesigning the shithole or building a new shithole?

Whatever the outcome they will be in a far worse position on and off the pitch than they are now, another year or two without champions league and they will be fucked, especially if they keep egghead on.

Taggart on BBC news. Think he is either ill or oiled.
Not good.
Don’t care what he represents, not good.
No one should give him a platform.

Correction.

Foster isn’t designing the stadium.

The overall proposal is similar to the Etihad Campus, plans for the Collar site, now Holt Town.

Foster + Partners is set to be appointed by Manchester United to develop a masterplan for the Old Trafford Stadium District, covering the Club-owned land that surrounds the existing stadium.

The focus will be to design a world-class football destination and home for Manchester United fans, coupled with a wider masterplan comprising mixed-use developments which will benefit the local community, attract new residents, increase job provision, and make it a vibrant destination for visitors from Manchester, the UK and all around the world.

They are drawing some pretty pictures to keep the masses happy.
Only time will tell if these pretty pictures ever become reality or remain a fantasty.

"Is set to be appointed", like announcing a 100 million striker before the contract is signed this. What's this contingent on? "Look Sir Keir we've got a big firm ready to go and plan this if you would just sign the invoice", Embarrassing. What's next? Scruffy Jim on Dragons Den with a poster board and an artists impression? So see through its pathetic from the biggest club in the world.

Wonder if all this talk about new Trafford has anything to do with them failing PSR.

Perhaps they could write it off for as a survey for a new stand like the other cheek of the same arse

To be fair to the GPC when he said “never in my lifetime “ the old soak must have known senility was imminent.
The last ten years have been Groundhog Day for the cheating Cnut.
