Let me get this straight. The rags are apparently going to make a higher offer for Branthwaite and are helped in this by the PL who have given them a special dispensation on financial losses. Everton may be forced to accept it as they fear being in breach of PL financial rules! Is it me or are we in La La land?

Good point, the PL have basically bought Branthwaite for united.

I’m very chilled about their bid for a new stadium.

Good for Manchester, I reckon, and way , way in the distance too.

Trafford??

Yep, and I've noticed any dissenting voices concerning their proposed new stadium are being kept quiet. This country is becoming a Stalin-led Russia.

We are not quiet but the silence elsewhere is because nobody cares. The rags are so yesterday.

Worrying that he's getting behind it - he has serious political clout and connections.

I imagine this would also line up a reintegration with Nike at the end of the Adidas deal with the added options of naming rights.

Or is my brain working over time here...........

Spanking new stadium or renovate the old one? I couldn't give a fuck either way, as long as the tax payer does NOT have to foot the bill.

Exactly not state funded.

It's not them having a new stadium that bothers me, it's the way they are trying to dress it up as being good for the nation etc to justify a taxpayer handout to build it.

Apart from utd matches what else would it be used for? The real Wembley is already underused.

He’s written it down.

We’re fucked.

I'd wager that slimey Stone is the ghost writer

Couldn't give a toss if they build a new stadium .
I'll never step foot in it.
But tax papers money paying for it.
Fuck off.
But it's yyyyoooouuuunited a national treasure.
We all know it's going to happen

There is already a stadium in Manchester that could be used for internationals etc and the new Everton one will likely be of that standard too so 100% no need. This is just about the rags creating a pretext for a govt handout at taxpayer expense.
