Not even dug up the ground for the new stadium and the rats are looking to sell the naming rights, absolutely despite the rat who gave the American rats a lifeline. Worst owners ever, we'll be battling relegation in a new stadium, like tottenham
Maybe you'll know but is there any possibility at all the new stadium doesn't go ahead ed001? Hope to god they sell and the new circus tent plans get binned too.
{Ed001's Note - there are two possibilities for it not happening, from what I can see. The first is that they sell up and new owners don't like the plans, seems unlikely though. Secondly is that the govt funding they want is blocked, as neither the Glazers nor Ineos will want to pay for it fully, even via mortgages, which is how the club is paying its part. The size of the mortgage would just be too much on top of the club's already enormous debt and be at too high an interest cost to make it worth it. Right now it is a way of increasing the club's value ahead of a sale, but without govt funding the value is engulfed by the debt burden. Again it seems unlikely to happen as they can just grease palms until it is done.}

How about if they produce a trashy product on the pitch with no hope of redemption because they continue to not have the funds to compete financially, with the result that the demand for seats drops? Or, in order for it to work they have to price the seats too high? Or, indeed, if the EPL product becomes less valuable for one reason or another? Manchester has been tainted by the City scandal. Who knows the knock on effect. We all know that between now and actually building the damn thing the cost will go up considerably. It always does.
I'll be in an urn by the time it happens.

Thanks ed, hate is a strong word but I truly hate both sets of owners, I hate them from the bottom of my heart, they'veturned us into an absolute joke and as Eric mentions above, the way they'vesacked long serving staff is disgusting, by the British billionaire living in Monaco, he's a person. Their lack of empathy makes me sick, as does their arrogance.
{Ed001's Note - they do not belongat Man Utd. Itis a club for the people. The Rat is even worse than the Glazers.

Agreed, his other sports ventures filled me with no confidence, truly a rat. Used to be angry, now numb and upset at what they've done.

I always said when SJR was incoming with Ineos they would be worse than the glazers and I am not wrong there.
Not a chance in hell this current government helps with the ground, Man City will be the undoing of MrSlippery Manchester Burnham already. so can thank city for something at least.
It's all a total mess and if you just watched the awful quality of play against Leeds we look like a relegation battle team . Spurs will finish above us and they now bottom.
