They want tax payers to pay for it.

This. Exactly. Ratcliffe banging on about whether the current govt want to see growth in the area resulting from the redevelopment. He’s planning to use prefabricated components, made overseas and shipped in on the ship canal. So not even supporting uk construction. At least Manchester corporation continues to earn acreage direct return on its investment in the commonwealth stadium. Apart from trickledown bullshit how do Manchester rate payers get a return on this nonsense.

So they want another massive government handout like the covid payment they recieved disguised as something else. Absolute insanity if they get anywhere with it. Hope it all goes tit s up.

I believe it's been designed the way it is because it's the only way the rags can get three points.

2As the rags pay all their local taxes to Trafford, Manchester inhabitants get fuck all.

Should we call it the Swamp Nou, or the Nouswamp?

That opens up a huge can of worms, if they get it, the que of other clubs with hands out wont be long forming.
I mean if they get a massive hand out, why cant anyone else?

Cant see it getting off the ground, it looks horrid anyway, the thing would be leaking in a few months.

Would be a wanton blot on the Mancunian skyline.

They don't want tax payers to fund the stadium. They're funding that themselves.

They want the council or government to contribute to the regeneration of the area and travel infrastructure improvements, which is probably pretty standard for developments of that size.

Just been watching Comic Relief and they did an ensemble of Always look in the brightside of life.....

Got me wandering, given how shit they've become, do the rags still play it/sing at the swamp aka theatre of screams?

I never knew they ever did, but it's really apt nowadays.

And all this after the media bigged him up for leaving and being such a superstar.
I seems we dodged a huge bullet.

There was plenty that thought we’d got a brilliant deal selling Palmer. Funny how things turn out.

We did! He's been crap lately! But they took a big gamble, it paid off. Some you win.....

Bit like crying about Sancho and crying about Palmer, some you win, some you lose
