We have spurs to thank for the ridiculous rent on the OS

We were buying it for 200 million. It's a white elephant.. we had the deal set up then spurs sued to get their planning through and we suddenly had to rent

What an awful deal for the tax payer

2 mil a year rent , all upkeep done by them including the millions it costs to turn it back and forth to a footy stadium because the retractable seating company went bust and they did it with scaffolding

Old Trafford redevelopment: Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants 'national stadium in the north'

New Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe says his "preference" is to build a new stadium that can also "serve the north of England".
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

So Sir Jim Ratcliffe has settled into life at the Old Trafford Circus by announcing himself as the resident clown.
Bottom line he is after taxpayers money to build a state of the art national stadium in the North. Not only that he states it will massively boost The south of Manchester area. Now without sounding uncouth, Old Trafford is a dump. It is the old Wembley of the North. It wants flattening. But why am I supposed to Pay towards that Or any other taxpayer.
For the record Jim, the largest council house in the country is to the east of Manchester. That has been extended and improved by the OWNERS money. Same as Arsenal, Spurs, etc etc. Not only that, the eastlands ( formerly known as the wastelands) has been massively regenerated with the OWNERS money. The Glaziers have taken hundreds of millions out of Utd and now Jimbo the clown wants City fans to fund Utd.
City are looking at 115 FFP charges and Jimbo gets around that by spending my money. I can only think he has had a bang on the head.

Can't blame him for trying.

The articles I’ve read have suggested that OT (which is a tired, dated and some stands are a dump) may be moved not redeveloped. Trafford Park has been muted so maybe Man Utd could come up with a similar arrangement that City have with the council ?

Cant blame the guy for trying to build and being visionary….its what we’ve been crying out for as opposed the Glazers bleeding us dry.

The landlord might go for a no fault eviction and rent it to UTD !
Now that would be funny.🤣
 
Injuries or not, you can never count on Liverpool to do you a favour. 😩

(Hard not to like Luton though to be fair. And I said before the start of the season Rob Edwards would keep them up. Massively underrated manager)

Think at best it’s going down be a draw - was hoping one of Mo or Nunez would be fit but looking at the moment like it’s just not going to happen tonight

I had Luton down by Christmas & Burnley finishing about 14th 😬

Even the games they’re losing, they’re not getting spanked.

I knew Burnley would struggle. Kompany’s style of play works in the championship but not with the relentlessness of the prem with the squad he has; and he’s refusing to change the way they play which will ultimately be their downfall.

Well the 2nd half has gone considerably better!

I'd say it's a toss up between Edwards and Kaminski keeping them up. All due respect to the Luton squad, but he's far better than Luton for me.

Well heck of a turn around - great to see some of the young lads coming on as well

That’s a huge win
 
Sad to say that's why Arsenal won't win the title. Totally complacent and content to play for a 0-0 in Porto thinking the home game is a formality. It's OK smashing the likes of Burnley and West Ham but when it really matters there's still something missing there. Mindset and a world class striker IMO.

Not good to give a goal like that away in the last minute.
They had the job done.
