They couldn’t really turn us down after this. Mate that's what our Saudi owners are for. Spend as much as you like on rebuilding Britain, just don't spend it on your 'orrible northern football team.

kingxlnc Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 4 minutes ago, Conjo said: That interview was wild. Got the same vibes as when Ashley did his attempt at damage control. His defence for stopping the legends/ambassador thing and lunch to save what...80k a year? Saying it was necessary in order to stop the club from losing 100m a year Hypothetically if they had signed say Gordon instead of Sancho, they'd "save" that cost in player wages in one week and then some. yes, remember his embarassing interviews - i preferred it when he was a recluse We're going to put the cart on the horse or some nonsense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they turn up in a newer 100,000 seater megadome - perception, yeah? They got to trust me - I'm taking these guys into battle, yeah?

By sacking most of their staff, stopping free lunches, refusing to pay a £10 bonus to stewards, making players look after their kit better and raising ticket prices whilst also removing any concessions It's not rocket science Edited March 11 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 They will have to issue bonds most likely. A tax exile like Jim certainly won't be paying for it. They could issue shares but I doubt they'd be able to issue enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't....they want the public to pay for it...."in the interest of the North" Balls to them we're the real North....let's ask the govt to fund ournew stadium for some northern regeneration if they actually mean it ( which of course everyone knows they don't). Only way to get "the North" level with the South is to shove Parliament up here....bet we'd catch up pretty quick if that happened Edited March 11 by gjohnson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I can't get over those images being real like. I get that they're concepts, but fucking hell. Pride before a fall though if anyone saw the original designs for Neom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) I like how they still have a fan zone underneath the roof/canopy, and I like the wrap around displays which are the modern and less obstructive way of having screens. Is it actually going to be a fanzone though, or is it just a club store in a separate building? Overall the design is a bit shit like. As someone has said, it’s like a circus tent, and it is, well a circus tent, a bit of the Millennium dome, and Royal Quays outlet park. I’d hope that our owners have a better design in mind for our stadium. Edited March 11 by Stifler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
