make sure you don’t choke on your turkey laughing at the cunts

I think I'll do the previous days washing-up when their match is on. Something to look forward to.

And they want to spend north of £2.5 billion on a new stadium. Even with the £300 million from the council to move a freight yard. Where will they get the rest of it to build it?

The rags might get a brand new stadium.
However, because they are sh1t, they might not fill it and it will be further away from Manchester.
Should they have a dramatic upsurge in form and fill it, how are they going to get that proposed number of idiots
(100,000) into and out of the stadium?
I don't think they have thought this through properly.
I think that they should downsize their expectations and maybe groundshare with Stockport County or Warrington Wolves for a while,

There won't be much left in the pot for that after contributing to the new sh1thole and how are they going to avoid the Piccadilly to Deansgate bottleneck, unless they reopen the Fallow field loop line?

Where there's £££'s/personal glory to be made there's always a way.

There has to be some pretty bad corruption at the top of the tree to see the rags get cash to build a new swamp while the infestation continues in Piccadilly and the city centre in general.

Why haven't the Neville's been evicted from Piccadilly yet

Quick job for Rentakill surely?

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Win tomorrow night and they are only 6 points behind us, level with Chelsea
How did that happen?
Thought they would be way lower than that

Plenty of help from officials.

I don’t think they’re bent; it’s just an unconscious bias.

Yep any negative decision scrutinised for hours, credibility and job on the line.

Omar Berrada has turned into chemical Ali. So they are still losing money and borrowing more. Debt is rising and revenues are falling. Happy days.

More like Rachel Reeves than chemical Ali

It is amazing how little coverage United's financial crisis has had. It is clear they are struggling to pay back even the interest on their debts. They have been trying to sell their club for years but, even with such a strong brand, there have been no takers. They are a mature business with very little scope for growth. Sheikh Mansour bought City for around £200m and invested about £300m in infrastructure. He got all his original outlay back with the Silver Lake deal. Now he has tripled the value of his original investment. That doesn't include the profits on his housing deals and the ones he will make on the hotel. Who wants to spend £1.3bn on United to clear the debts and another £2bn on infrastructure just to stand still?

PTSD from GPC?

 

[ancoats]

It's funny how a football club can be so badly managed and have the biggest debt in the Premier League, yet have so much say on other clubs' expenditure ? Why do all the other 19 clubs let this joke of a club write the rules and put FFP PSR spending control on them

Surely the best-run club with debt-free status should be listened to and have a major say, Manchester City would never make it a closed shop, in fact we would welcome the challenge and let the right people willing to put personal wealth and investment to other clubs

2013 FFP was introduced and voted in. United debt was around £500million ? 2025 United are £1.5billion in debt
Yep FFP worked didnt it

 

[Vienna_70]

PTSD from GPC?

Quite possibly.

It's why they desperately need the council and government to pay for a new stadium. Then it's price will shoot up.
Wrexham and their deal with the Welsh Government is a warning every football fan should take note of.

No chance of the Government funding a new ground in the current climate. It’s just a PR stunt to stop the share price collapsing.

They've thought it through alright, you'll see it in the expenses side in the accounts.
