Jim Radcliffe is pushing for a 90,000 seat Wembley of the North to be built next to Old Trafford which would be used by Man Utd as their home ground. He wants public funding to pay for it under the guise of the governments levelling up scheme.

Is he from Small Heath?

He went to Birmingham University so may have strayed off the path and been bitten one night.

Goes with best wishes and all that, but he just isn't good enough for where we want to be. Could do a job for top Championship club though and I'll never forget the way he could bang those coin bags into the Barclays night safe. His replacement will decide where we're going as a club. Hopefully he can count in Spanish.

This really made me chuckle.

It's only fair really. Man City were given a brand new stadium built using public money so why shouldn't United get one?

Answer is in the question really. If United want to play in a publically funded stadium they should.go and share with Citeh.

That would be disgusting.  Hopefully it will neve even get close to getting off the ground.  I like Chris H's solution.

The twat built him and his mates a nice big skiing centre in the alps saying it would benefit the community for some kind of tax break and lo and behold, the only people using it are him and his mates.

He's a massive wanker, fits in well there.

Why is there a need for a "Wembley of The North" anyway? The FA are reluctant to send any games away from North London, there are ample stadia fit for holding Rugby League and large scale concerts so what would be it's justification?

Reading between the lines, it a well known fact that the Glaziers have starved the ground of investment and it looks like this Ratcliffe bloke has realised that there is no prospect of it changing so has got the begging bowl out.

He can fuck off, and furthermore, fuck off again.

My sister works for him in the chemicals bit which ordinarily is the cash cow of the group. They've had a much worse year than predicted, and now all sides of the business are having to make cuts for his Man U vanity project.
