That said, is it reasonable to want him to self-fund a stadium? He owns what - 29%? - of the club.

The club should fund it. No PL club should be using tax payers money given the amount they rake in each year. I can’t think of a less worthy use
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Manchester Council indirectly built City a new stadium with public money
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know, they shouldn’t have. West Ham also similar.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Andy Burhnam and Tom Ross have been appointed on the Task Force. Looks like tax payers money could be spent in this project. It will create hundreds of new jobs so it will be good news for Greater Manchester
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not a single penny should come from the taxpayer. If you can spend hundreds of millions of pounds on players every season, then you can pay for your own stadium upgrades.

This

Same goes for any club

I wonder what Tory darling, Seb Coe thinks he'll get out of the deal?

You'll probably end up playing in London if he gets his way.

it will be another athletics stadium in Manchester if Coe has anything to do with it.

Can’t believe the idea of tax payers funding a stadium for a football club is getting any traction whatsoever.

I’ll be absolutely gutted if they go for a new stadium.
Surely OT isn’t that far gone that it can’t be rejuvenated into a fantastic stadium?

And using taxpayers money, well that’s embarrassing.

So disillusioned and distanced from this once great club, these days
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What kind of state was Madrids ground in? Don’t a fantastic job on that.

OT cant even be a basic bowl shaped stadium without re-building underground railway stations and infrastructure and buying out many families out of their own homes on Station Road. Its a non starter to compare its potential to what Madrid have created with a retractable roof.

If United want a magical stadium to compete with the very best... it needs rebuiding furter back from its current location. Which is actually possible.

*Railway Road

It is. Mainly by fans that have never visited the existing stadium and probably never will.

I dont sit in OT everyweek and think what a chithole this building is. I think, here we go again, what kind of a chitshow am I getting today.

What a load of nonsense, it’ll create new jobs whoever pays it. One of the biggest clubs in the world trying to rip off the man in the street. No doubt they’ll put ticket prices up to get whatever money they do put in themselves just to double down.

It’s utterly shameless.

That’s incredibly embarrassing justification.

First thing on a Saturday and Term is angry again.

This time about something that hasn’t actually happened.

What I’ve read seems fair comment to me.

It’s a huge project and should involve regeneration of the area, not just the stadium.

Obviously they’ll look at financing options. That would be true of any capital investment on this scale. That doesn’t mean public money necessarily. There’s a lot of naivety on display here.

Lord Coe is a weird choice. Its his arrogance that saw the OS built with no plan for the future. The Olympic Legacy fund had to pour another 280m in to convert it for West Ham who rent it for relative peanuts. Its original budget almost doubled. All tax payers money

At least the Etihad was developed with a vision about how it would not be a costly white elephant

I wouldn't trust this guys opinion whatsoever. Jobs for the boys.

I’m commenting on an article about United’s new stadium.

Wasn’t surprised to see you foaming at the mouth as usual, but it’s even funnier when it’s about something that hasn’t actually happened.

I doubt it. He’ll have avoided paying as much as possible, any loophole, probably another reason why he wanted brexit. Does he even live in the uk?

There's a lot of premature indignation here. Public money being spent on the wider regeneration project is quite likely and if done well, likely to have public good. If that is part of the project, then it makes it easier for the club to raise private money to finance the stadium, because better infrastructure and a thriving area around the stadium make the stadium business model much more viable.

Lives in Monaco I think.

In his lifetime he’s paid loads more than any of us, but now he’s a tax dodging greedy caant.

That Brexit supporting caant was bragging about his new Grenadier being built in Britain, until he built it in France. Probably got an EU passport too like Farage?

I hate the hypocritical caants.

What a deal for the glazers ! Years of greed, incompetence and neglect rewarded with a brand new state of the art stadium funded by UK tax payers.

As said previously the same thing happened in Tampa in the 90's when the tax payers funded a new stadium for them as a result of them threatening to move the Buccaneers to another city.

His decision to quit Britain came soon after he was knighted by the Queen for “services to business and investment”, and the UK voted to leave the European Union.

Ratcliffe, the founder and chief executive of petrochemicals company Ineos, was an ardent supporter of the vote leave campaign, declaring that the UK would thrive without red tape from Brussels.

its a regenerating of a whole area around Old Trafford Gorse Hill and will probably be extended over the canal into Media City. Its a massive project that will affect, employ, and benefit many many people. It would be a sandal if Public and Private money wasnt involved in this project to create more stakeholders than just MUFC
