This sounds a lot like asking someone else to pay to build you a new stadium

I’m pretty sure we tried something similar with Arena 2000.

Am I right in interpreting he said the neighborhood is shit and someone pay for my New Old Trafford?
He should up the stakes in the American manner, threaten to move the team if city/government doesn't build a new stadium

 

[alexccfc99]

Sounds an arrogant fuckwit on first impressions perfect match for that football club really

The government built a new stadium in the north for the commonwealth games in 2002, another team plays there now.

A company that turns over £1bn per year asking for the government to pay for a new stadium for them, get to fuck.

MC still on a rental/lease.basis?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I don’t see a problem in building it for them but the terms must be good on the countries side.

large rent
No ownership potential
Large cut of the f&b

I don’t think this is what they are looking for though they just want a free ground to allow their rotten owners to keep milking it.

It would be sensible to move them to the midlands. Near the NEC where all the plastic MU fans could condense.

They could move right into their heart land either Essex or Asia should do

It’s very rare that these new stadiums end up offering value for money when the taxpayer foots the bill.

Don't matter if you spend someone else's money?

I think it's a very long lease so effectively ownership

We've got Wembley which is a terrific venue imo, absolutely zero value in pursuing another one in the north

Prior to them rebuilding Wembley i'd have preferred an approach where the national team toured around more, now it's here however i just don't see a case for spending huge sums on making Wembley poorer value for money, the ship has sailed on that approach.

The gall of a man worth upwards of £15bn wanting public money for his own vanity project is (almost) beyond belief. What does a person even need that sort of money for?

It's shit around there because it's a giant industrial park so there's no real need to make it look nice.

We have also built the Etihad and the Olympic stadium in the last 25 years. There really isn’t a need to build another national stadium.

Not just football stadiums

 

[Travs]

The time to build a new national stadium would have been when Wembley was redeveloped.

I think the ship has sailed on the idea now.

 

[San Francisco]

“National stadium” is just a front. Shows what type of owner he is that he’s not willing to invest much on important new infrastructure like an improved stadium without a large government grant. I’d be worried if I were a Man Utd fan.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

All this being said if we made a semi-final and I could drink in my usual pubs then walk/get the tram, I'm all for it
