The ground certainly needs more than a lick of paint. In an ideal world they would pay off the container business that uses their land in the northwest of the car parks and stick up a new build 90,000 seater before knocking Old Trafford down as that would be the cheapest option. Probably still a £500m job, minimum.

 

[Johnny75]

Is that £500m for the land or a 90,000 seat stadium? The former surely?

It's their land.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The container business leases it I think and so would have to be bought out I guess.

The container business leases it I think and so would have to be bought out I guess.

And I guess it depends on usage too.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Might have to supply an alternate site. Shouldn’t be a huge issue. Swathes of land out towards Warrington you could use

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Leave Trafford Park alone ffs..

 

[Kenny]

2 match ban for Ronaldo for knocking a phone out of an Everton fan's hand.

I presume that ban will only start if he signs for an English team

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I doubt that will be enough to relieve Boehly of stupidity if he decides to go for it.

 

[Kenny]

Couple of early potential bidders for Utd. Big one is Apple

iTrafford Stadium incoming

 

[BillyDee]

They'll move Utd into the iLeague. Not cross compatible with other teams, so they'll win it every year...

 

[Keef]

Manchesterkickaball@icloud.com then

I really can’t fathom why a company like Apple would be interested in owning a football club.

I really can’t fathom why a company like Apple would be interested in owning a football club.

Indeed, not their core business model

I don’t think the phrase “it’s only a game “ exists in Turkey.

 

[Tredman]

I’ll be all over this:

Edit - ah rubbish, just realised I’ve scheduled picking the dog poo up out of the garden at that exact same time

 

[Tony Towner]

It's a hog roast

 

[Kenny]

There will be more banter than any of us could handle!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Richard "slot mouth" Keys vs Piers "no chin" Morgan. Settle down there, ladies.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Also excuse me Piers but my good buddy Richard came out with this utter drivel on UK TV in September 2013, that is less than 10 years ago. Get your facts straight buster.
