Ratcliffe comes across like a dictator of a backwards communist regime trying to build monuments to show the public how great he is.
All of his co workers are too scared to say anything negative in fear of the chop. In the end, you end up with a monstrosity like this.
The design is grotesque and comical at the same time. And will dominate/ruin the Manchester skyline for years to come. I'm surprised if it even gets through planning permission. But then again, Labour are just as insecure as Ratcliffe and will probably view the stadium as an emblem of their own.

The political posturing now begins with Ratcliffe passing the next move to local/national government and waiting for them to come up with money to improve infrastructure around the proposed site for the stadium build , the stadium itself to be solely financed by United.
It's so reminiscent of Levy and the hollow threat to move to Stratford to encourage some infrastructure money from Haringey Council and the London mayor which eventually happened, Levy's proposal to demolish the Olympic stadium and build a new stadium more suited to football had zero chance of ever getting planning permission that's why Hammers got the lease they were happy to play in that monstrosity.
Here's Ratcliffe's hospital ball to local/national government.
He said there was no date in place for when building work on the stadium would begin, adding: "It depends how quickly the Government gets going with the regeneration programme. I think they want to get going quite quickly."

Removing half a of the stadium was always the plan, removing it all and building a football stadium was the correct move...just not us.
Keeping it as it was iconic and the Boris cheap as chips deal with no get out was the fuck up. Cost more in renovations and keeping a semi temporary structure past its life will be the continuing fuck up
That design concept looks like a circus tent combined with the city in the clouds from Star Wars.
To be fair, they'll have the best stadium in the Championship BAR NONE.
Funny how all this gets announced just as protests against the owners kick off.
quite
"Ratcliffe and Glazers you're all cunts!"
"Oooh look, a nice shiny dead cat over there!"
The trident thing is pretty silly. The British landmark thing going on there. Capacity is good - good to see them going big. And the internal (under the canopy) area could work well.
Must be a case for a fully closing roof in Manchester though.
Would be good to have another very large modern stadium in the UK that wasn't in London
LOL at the fishing for Gov money. Won't happen.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe: Manchester United co-owner names Casemiro, Rasmus Hojlund & Andre Onana as 'inherited' players
Watch as BBC sports editor Dan Roan questions Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe on the club's future.

If I were in the govt I'd say we'll supoort you if you build another millenium stadium. Roof, 80,000 capacity. Proven. And cheap.
Anything else on you
I'm not sure they really can support them in fairness - i.e. haven't done it for any other PL team, and this is the team with the highest revenue.
I can see it being a big events/concerts venue and being used for CL finals etc.
Thats a big old stand with a wizards hat at the back for good measure.
Not sure you would be able to see much.
Honestly whats the point getting one of those nosebleed seats at the back. Might aswell watch it on tv
TBF the governments job is to spend public money to improve infrastructure. Its not the job of a football club.
Why should a football club pay for roads, train stations and public footpaths?
It will be full of tourists like the Nou Camp that dont even like football but want a pic for their instagram.
I agree that is the purpose of local and national governments to provide infrastructure and help in any regeneration not the football clubs but Ratcliffe is going down the line of if local/national government don't start the ball rolling with a start in regeneration, it will be their fault if we don't build the stadium, that's what it sounds like.
In our case Levy started buying up land in 2003 so the stadium could be built , way before the Stratford nonsense, have no idea where Man U are in acquistion of land.
I reckon neville is behind this stadium mega plan. Runs a hotel nearby so wants revenue rolling in. Tbh they had to be OTT united with the capacity 100k just for the sake of blowing everyone out the water with stadium capacity. Know a few united united fans who got pissed off weve got best ever attendance in england for our match v real madrid. Over 88k. United fans fot pissed off with that we got their record.
Good on Burnham
