They’re already in over a £bn in debt now. I’d guess based on the cost of Spurs ground, this would push them towards £3bn in debt.

And the rest

 

[pride in battle]

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

Fucking clowns !!! Oh wait...

Not sure what would be more hilarious now, it gets built or the plans fall through. That roof will look a mess after a few years if it’s the same stuff as Victoria station.

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

So City are paying ~£300m to expand the stadium, add a hotel etc etc.

The only thing we will be doing is possibly adding more seats in corners, hardly going to announce a new stadium in the next decade are we? Not quite sure what other club you think are going to propose a 100,000 stadium?

Anyway, my point is not that we have a shit stadium, but that if they do build what they are proposing, it will obviously be the best stadium in the country (in terms of modernism, facilities etc).

Its all well and good having a laugh about the state of Old Trafford, but thinking thats going to continue for much longer is short sighted in my opinion.

I would enjoy seeing them fall flat on their face as well, and end up with a half built stadium or reverting to improve Old Trafford, but don't see that happening.

fuck me they are selling it as a tourist attraction

Giving up football? Might be for the best imo.

 

[Hoghead]

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

Like forever!

That stadium looks like it is designed to attract funding from Arab state countries .

Three minarets and a bedouin tent.

Al-Trafford Mosque, the biggest and bestest mosque in da werld.

The only way this is getting built is with national/local govt money.

The state of services in this country and the above could happen is fucking disgusting & disgraceful.

That shitty BBC wanker Roan especially can fuck off too, ignoring our name check of a club to espire to.

 

[City Hobgoblin]

Why should this development be allowed to be visible from 25 miles way, when millions of people living in that radius can't stand the club?
It will be an imposition and an eyesore.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Hmmmm....so they want a £2b stadium and want it built in 5 years and with government funding

Something fishy here....me thinks scruffy jim is building this stadium to bump up the selling price valuation of the club when the time is right

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

I wonder what it will be called?

The Spunk Stadium.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

What a shame they never rebuilt it.

If this government do fund it then I fully expect one of the stands to be named the '2 Tier Kier' Stand

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Scruffy jim dumping it all on ten hags shoulders

Yep, surprised so many on here are spouting stuff like " it better not be done with public money"......of course it will be, just wait and see

 

[Big mals fedora]

“it’ll take most companies 10yrs to build, we’ll do it in 5”. Sounds exactly like something Trump would say

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

name checked that the rags salary bill is equivalent to Forest and amorin is doing well - what a total idiot

Forest in 3rd hahah
