And yet Man Utd was due to go bust by Christmas. How will it be paid for?

Ach, you beat me to it!

These mega-stadium rebuilds are a pain in the backside for so many reasons. I’m permanently grateful that the bats of Grade I listed Brompton Cemetery near Stamford Bridge stopped Abram’s ambitious re-building plans for us a few years ago. The Council said a big fat NO.

As @roperlou.bsky.social pointed out, it's a way for rapacious Ratcliffe to be subsidised by the state

Or as @barneyronay.bsky.social puts it: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/mar/11/ratcliffes-straight-talking-gunslinger-act-dissolves-into-double-speak?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Nice tent for the Man Utd circus !

Why is it always about "buildings" ? Tangible assets I guess, instead of the physical failings of football players who can't always win?

The circus of dreams

This could be a huge step towards the super league they’ve been threatening. If you have a stadium like this, you can’t allow the threat of relegation or not qualifying for Europe to ruin you

Ratcliffe is just hot air
