National Stadium in the North

If you don't ask you don't get.

No doubt Jim is careful with the pennies. A BIC does for him when signing owt. Every PO has to have director approval. Was painful working with Ineos, but it obviously works

I worked for Ineos, we all got discount vouchers when he took over Belstaff,
Still couldn't afford the stuff

Nothing more than united trying to get a stadium off tax payers money. Wembley will always be wembley no matter where geographically located. The only thing that needs to come back are semi finals being played outside of wembley.

You don't become a Billionaire without cutting costs along the way.

The only mad thing is, this will probably get ratified and they'll earn Billions off the Tax Payer dime, whilst Jim's portfolio and wealth expand.

Bravo for having the audacity, to be perfectly honest.

He 100% votes Tory

He’s already becoming a loud mouth, belittling, small part owner bellend.

I'm obsessed with football stadiums, always have been, anyway.
Old Trafford.
Stretford end was rebuilt quite recently compared to most builds.
That massive stand (SAF?) also rebuilt.
The extensions behind both goals and two corners again quite recent additions.
They like the rs have made poor additions to stadiums that just don't work.

A national stadium of the north shouldn’t be in Manchester. Leeds would be the fairest place. The sod just wants a free stadium for Man Utd.

Old Trafford isn't in Manchester.

Wouldn't be the first time they got govt hand outs for a stadium upgrade. They got it after Uwe's grandad bombed Old Trafford and they got a nice new stand paid for by the taxpayer for the world cup in 66. They love a begging bowl at the swamp.

Belstaff are skint when Ratcliffe stops subsidizing them they will go bust

 

[Connor]

The Etihad or BMD, really

Old Trafford is awwwwwful

 

[magicjuan]

Only surprised that the RS hadn’t already suggested that they do it, especially as they’re everyone’s second favourite team.

They'll get a rebate somewhere along the line...

I've only just calmed down about this after watching him on Sky Sports News talking about this. The Government should fund it under the ausopices of levelling up. No Jim, spend your own billions, it's your new toy. Levelling up is about housing, education, quality of life. All these billionaires seem to have a probelm spending their own money. Much like Richard Branson who will happily accept his train company profits but cry to the Government for a handout if he makes a loss.
Sir Jim is a massive Tory donor and is domiciled in Monaco - pays no British taxes. He, and the rest of his ilk, make me sick.

Is this a case of pot calling kettle black?
