    Why should the glazers who have never put a penny of their own money into the club have taken over a billion out and put the club into a debt of over a billion get public funds? A 25% stake in the club is roughly the same as the cost of a new stadium the glazers should be told to exchange a stake in the club for a new stadium and the improved infrastructure!

      The stadium is just one part the Trafford Wharfside project that will deliver new homes, new businesses, new heritage park, new tech park, new businesses, new community hubs, new jobs. It's the wider Trafford Wharfside project that will get government or local funding, not the stadium itself.

      1) Taxpayers paid for City's stadium, and lots of the infrastructure around the Etihad, and they're owned a gulf state with almost limitless wealth. I don't remember non-City fans being given the option to not have their taxes used.
      2) United aren't asking for funding for the stadium.

    Amazing how many people don't understand. It's not about the stadium. United would find the money themselves for the stadium. The public money would be for the regeneration of the area around the stadium and the refitting of utilities in order to attract businesses, build housing etc, creating jobs. This is pretty standard stuff for projects of this scale.
