Old Trafford now has four stands.

The Mr. Ferguson stand,  The Sir Bobby Charlton stand, The Deep End and The Shallow End.

The players have had to be reminded in training, no diving in the shallow end.

That's ratpiss.. Yeah... one gets the feeling that roof may collapse (God forbid) at any moment.
If there are rats, they're chewing through everything, AND, if they don't care about the rats, it means there's a lot of rust and rot. That can never be safe.
Does the Prem/FA regularly inspect stadia? Whose job is it?

There's rats all over the place around there (and I'm not talking about the residents of Ordsall, Salford and Eccles ). You've got the wharf and the Quays, the canal running past the ground, the train line, loads of food waste after games, perfect for breeding millions of them.

Used to work in an office overlooking the place and the rust all over the roof trusses could be clearly seen, they swapped loads of them out about 2019 iirc, I remember the cranes being there and the workmen on the roof.. The outside has been painted recently, looked shabby as fuck not long ago.

Wait until the water running down the stands changes colour, the dirty buggers.

I am quite sad he's cancelled player of the season. That could  have been funny.

[mattD]

That lot have a water feature in their stadium, why can’t we have one?

He thought it was a lot of water under the bridge, perhaps...

Just imagine, if it had been someone they sold in January...

4th tallest waterfall in England apparently.

are you sure its not the 6th?

This guy has zero self awareness.

All rivalry aside, this cannot be safe. If that stadium really is falling apart, there will be dodgy wiring getting exposed. Surely, at some point, their safety license needs to be looked at?

Ken Early pointed out the leaking roof predates the Glazers. He said he attended a match at Old Trafford in January 2004 and the roof was leaking then. It's inexcusable for one of the richest teams on the planet to not have done corrective work for more than two decades to fix it

Varane is leaving in the summer



Didnt know he was still there

[So… Howard Philips]

See Burnham is still trying his best to get public money to support tax dodging, strike breaking Ratcliffe’s Old Trafford rebuild.

How about getting some houses built in stead?

[DangerScouse]

Surely the self professed "biggest club in the world" (snigger) shouldn't be reliant on tax payers money to assist with stadium costs?

Billionaires have no shame begging for money. They abhor socialism because the money benefits the many not the few billionaires. Ratcliffe is getting hard about public funding as it would immediately increase the value of his 25% stake. But I bet he calls people on benefits, living hand to mouth, scroungers.

[Mister Flip Flop]

Morally repulsive they are looking for taxpayer money to build a stadium when they have that high a revenue.

[Wool]

After Thomas Frank if Ten Hag gets sacked apparently.

Shame on any politicians enabling this billionaire to claim public money for building a new vanity dome.

We're in an era in which data and long-term planning are going to influence decision making. I'd have thought flavour of the month Amorim would have been a lead candidate, but going after Frank would go very much against the grain of their recent hirings. When you consider Bayern Munich are struggling to hire anyone and Barcelona pretty much welcomed Xavi coming back, I think it's safe to say the era of big name, iconic managers might be waning.

What a fucking shower.

I actually think it will perhaps make football more interesting as it's going to be about up and coming managers rather than the old school type of managers. Who are going to be the next big things? I really think once Guardiola goes, City will find it a lot more challenging overall.

Good manager but I said when we were linked with him that he’d divide the fan base from the off, simply for being such a known quantity and a lot of fans having almost no ability to understand a decision if it doesn’t reek of being the move of a big club. He would struggle to win fans over there and I imagine it’ll be similar at boardroom level. He’d stand just as much a chance of succeeding than any of their other post-Taggart hires, I’d be amazed if they’d give him the type of backing he’d require to fix the future there.

Yeah once Guardiola and Ancelotti go, it will be interesting to see how things develop without an iconic old guard
