Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s bold plan for Old Trafford to become ‘Wembley of the North’

The Telegraph  

Why would Government give United public money? The Government has decided on allocations for the third and final round of the £4.8 billion levelling up fund which was first announced in October 2021, but Freedom of Information responses recently showed the majority of councils are yet to spend previous funds received. Their Abu Dhabi-owned rivals City are council tenants at the Etihad, formerly known as the City of Manchester Stadium, a 48,000-seat venue built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games. Around £78 million from the National Lottery and £49 million from Manchester City Council contributed to its build and it was converted to a football stadium at the public’s expense too. The key difference is that United would retain ownership of the stadium, while City, despite investing heavily in recent stadium improvements and agreeing naming rights deals, retain a lease arrangement with Manchester City Council on a “fully repairing” basis, which now sees all operating, maintenance and future capital costs borne by the club.
