Legacy. The new stadium and the memory of who ‘built’ it will live long after his billions have passed through a couple of generations of his progeny.

Could be worse: this one was once proposed for Battersea in London:
Its Sammy Snake!

At least
Apparently they can use the canal to ship parts of the stadium in and put it together like a mechano set...
Can't see anything going wrong there
I'd honestly be surprised if it happens, I think there will be a huge amount of stumbling blocks.
Love all the armchair architects on here.
Redeveloping the stadium was never going to be a viable option. To be honest it's not a great stadium. Having been there 20 or so occasions I was never blown away by the experience other than it's great to see your team play for real. The atmosphere isn't helped by the construction and obviously it's falling apart. I've priced property refurbs before and every time the better economic case was to build new.
Having been in Tottenham's stadium a few times it really is a huge upgrade. From my point of view the ambition to build something like is great and despite our current predicament I think it shows a positive direction for the club. I suspect their is a hint of jealousy from rival fans as United have the prospect of having not only the largest stadium in the country but one of the most incredible all round developments. I also hope that it can deliver the regeneration that the area needs. It's really needed. Can we fill 100k week in week out - well probably not if we keep playing the dross we've had to suffer for the last period but I'm ever hopeful.

We're not just armchair football managers, owners or players, we're architects too. No bias!
At the moment it's surely just a Show Pony.

no bias was also the problem with that tower. Turns out suction cup foundations don't work for tall buildings.
iirc Man U have bought a few of those in their time.
Plenty of suckers at OT these days
hmmm reminds me of this

Anyone who still has a season ticket for one, though the same could be said for plenty of other clubs, not least my own relegation bound farce.
I was thinking more the players/management
suckers isn't quite the word I'd use for those
Dubai? Looks like Butlins in Minehead
