Obsessed, pathetic.

Can't decide if he is just a bellend or if he is using the situation to make more money. City offering 1 million and if he managed to sell all his square feet separately he will make 1.25 million.

He is a bell-end mate, you've got that right.

He's also trying to make more money.

If the council are already on our side, the daft twat hasn't got a leg to stand on.

[Buffalo Soldier]

No, no, no, that's all wrong. Don't you know it's US who are the bitter, obssessed ones.

[Goataldo]

Not arrogant. Just bitter.

Surely he realises this makes him look like a complete idiot? Oh hang on! He is one, so - no.

Aren't many of the state of the art facilities we're bringing to this fool's local area available to the local public? Basically he's trying to rob local kids of good sports opportunities. Nice one nobhead.

I don't see a problem with this guy.

All City have to do is wait untill he has ripped all his fellow rags off by selling his little plots and then tell the idiots who bought them...."Sorry but we already have tons of land and we don't need yours."

It would leave loads of stupid rags all owning useless bits of waste ground, they can do fuck all with.

[zuricity]

I think that is the right call here john68 !

Then buy it cheap after five years and everything is up and running. Use it as a car park. Our owner has experience managing those operations !

Judging by this he seems to be a right scam merchant - just out to make a fast buck........

[Crossie]

Well we all know who he is now.

Plus he is the sort of person who would rather keep a shit run down company probably employing 2 people, instead of taking some money for himself to go and invest in a new company to employ more people, while the land he sells is maximised to its potential, brings in even more employment, tidies up the area and probably get his wife a job as a tea lady.

Shame about the railway behind Scums south stand, looks like that bit will never be expanded.

[Blue Since 76]

He's a con merchant. Obviously bought the land to make a fast buck years ago and it didn't work. What he's now doing is trying to make it a city v rags thing to maximise the money he'd get compared to the compulsory purchase, which will happen. They can all pay what they want but it won't increase the value of it and they'll all get the same through CPO which will be less than £250.

But hey if they're daft enough to buy it then so be it. Suspect he'll be getting a visit from the men in black too once they realise they're our of pocket. Pathetic how desperate they're becoming

[Beefymcfc]

Can we have a whip-round and buy a 1 foot plot in the centre of his business, then kick the fucker of our land.

[Tokyo Blue]

This bit made me smile:

Mr O’Brien says that his campaign is designed to ‘prevent Manchester City’s attempts to acquire our land in Eastlands, Manchester, in order to further their goals of football domination . . . and show City they can’t bulldoze over everything in their path just because they have more money than anyone else’.

[King Kev]

What's to stop somebody with lots of money, a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family for example, buying the lot?

Nothing mate, apart from giving a Rag twat twice as much as it's worth.

Good point, well made.

[Dameerto]

The article mentions a compulsory purchase order - maybe someone with more understanding of law could comment, but I would presume if he tries his little scam after one of those is issued he will be defrauding anyone who buys from him. He's an opportunist trying to cash in on a football rivalry by the sounds of it.

[Blue Blood]

Proper scam that, the bloke is just in it for himself.

Loads of reds will end up out of pocket, let them waste their money by all means but a CPO will be issued, we won't be stopped.
