One thing is for certain, no way that scruffy **** or the glazers are putting their hands in their pockets. Can't see the govt ponying up more than they saved by cutting winter fuel payments to buy the rags a new circus tent either in the current economic climate.

Not unless they want riots on the streets

Their "brand" is artificially inflated and built on a myth, a foundation of sand propped up by the monetising grubbers promotion of a plane crash.

It should be left in the gutter and if anyone cares to pass it they should kick it so it stays there.

Irrespective of cost, and how they are going to pay for it (They have said they are paying for it as part of a huge government regeneration program), if it does get built, and with Lord Foster involved, it will obviously be the best stadium in the country. It might not be to everyone's taste, but as the most modern stadium built to such a size, it will become a landmark that tourists will flock to.

If I go to Madrid or Barcelona or Munich, I always fancy a trip to the stadiums because I love football and they are iconic. The same can be said about Manchester United and Old Trafford unfortunately, even in its current state.

I think I said in an earlier post, it's only a matter of time before they get a new stadium, and they aren't going to build some half hearted stadium with a similar capacity to what they have now. Biggest stadium in the country and likely to have facilities that make most of the others in the league look second rate.

If they finance it for themselves, then fair enough, and the extra income it will generate will obviously help with servicing the borrowed cost. Whether you like it or not, their brand is still huge.

Hopefully the team on the field stays shit for a long time to come.

You sound a right half and halfer.
By the time it's built (if) we and others will probably have announced something better.

Their Brand is built on winning titles, And like all the top brands once they stop winning, people will go elsewhere
Now its 100% fake just like the Strangeways brands they knockout

It looks an impressive concept. I don't quite understand how they go from sacking staff and stopping food in order to stop the club going bankrupt to then launching a multi billion £ stadium build.

20 years ago yes you could imagine the rags building a new stadium, NOW ??? A billion in debt, 44% job cuts, have lost 300 million in the last 4 years...oh let's build a 3 billion pound stadium !! If it was just a business rather than a football club you would be ripped to pieces for it...let's see what the rag loving press write about it though !!

They claimed to be the biggest side in the world pre fergiscum.

And they'd won fuck all at the point really to make anywhere near that claim, it was a plane crash that they fed on to give them prestige.
 
Hilariously desperate pitch. Couldn't be more obvious they're hoping for the government to pay for this. it's the equivalent of your dog grabbing its empty bowl in its mouth standing next to you whimpering.

Not a single penny of tax payers money should go on this. If they want it, they can pay for it entirely themselves.

The people that don't spend their own money on the club, that sack minimum wage locals without a seconds thought, who have decided local kids and oap's shouldn't get a discount on tickets, who think local people should be at least paying the same price as people from the most affluent area of the country, we are supposed to believe these people are wanting a new stadium to benefit local people and not to line their own pockets further without having to shell out a penny themselves?

Good luck finding that 2 billion it will cost when the day before announcing this they've said they would have run out of money last Christmas if they didn't sack some minimum wage staff and stop giving them food.
 
Scruffy Jim has offered to redeploy all sacked cleaners , Burnham has guaranteed jobs for the homeless with the top 20 selected from Piccadilly Gardens actually fast tracked into the first team. Rooney will manage a new state of the art care home, Giggs the family hub .

The perfect summary, cheers.

what a total shambles they are...first they cull the staff at the swamp to release funds, and stop the canteen food. Then they announce that they would have ran out of money as the £300m loan was nearly empty...

And then they announce today that they want a £2 billion 100k seater stadium building
