All I see here is a way for Man City to escape punishment.

As someone said earlier, if you had a site that was between two railway stations you wouldn't look anywhere else, but context is king - they don't get trains every five minutes like an underground or a suburban line. I think this would be the problem with a site like the NEC too; it has a railway station but the trains are nowhere near regular enough for sixty odd thousand people to come and go once a fortnight. To the latter, I'd also add the multi-use aspect: any new stadium on the scale we envisage has to be bringing in gigs and events every summer at least. Would building next to the NEC hinder that? Would having a city centre stadium hinder that with the proximity of the NIA? Spuds bring in the NFL, Spam seem to have dibs on the baseball, is there anything left for Brum?There are pros and cons to every possible location, but ultimately you just have to have a plan and faith it'll work out. I mean, we're the second city, we should act like it.A 60,000 stadium would be three times the size of the NEC or NIA, so would be attracting a completely different level of artist or event. I have no idea about planning etc. but the NIA site would be a good one if you were going to build a stadium. Close to town, but just far enough away from everything that you you would do very well on drinks and food. The whole Dale End area is a real eyesore now and that would be another good location if possible. Too much of an incline plus not a big enough area now. The incline would mean we either have to build on pillars or dig down a fair bit to level it off. And as a fair bit of DE is being knocked down for the tramline to go through to meet Curzon and Digbeth, it cuts the land available down.

The old gasholders site in Avenue Rd is one possibility and I think there's room where Powerleague is on Lichfield Rd but neither would do anything to ease the current transport issues. How about a groundshare at Wheels Park? Quickly grabs tin hat.

Clubs in theory could still choose to spend freely if they prefer but with the knowledge of taking another financial hit.The tax could then be distributed to the other Premier League clubs who stayed within the rules.(Source: @MikeKeegan_DM)
