Whilst paying off an existing £1 billion debt already...

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
Whilst paying off an existing £1 billion debt already...
I would agree. Big money for football is in the middle east, if this gets built they are going to want to immediately announce a record naming rights deal as vindication for the project.
Anyone for the circus in 2030? Hope the team and squad isn’t a circus come then. Awful design
I absolutely love it. I hope it actually gets built. Maybe I'm a miserable bastard but I'll believe it when I see it.
They can just borrow the money and pay it off over a hundred years.
No big deal.
Probably sell the naming rights also.
Still play at OT I presume. It's being built beside it.
Hard to tell from the video but maybe they planned it so the inner actual stadium could be built next to Old Trafford before demolishing. Or maybe the entire thing.
It’s absolutely hideous.
The day we leave Old Trafford is the the day the last part of the club I grew up supporting dies.
Sad day this.

I wonder if Saudi or Qatar would want their name plastered over a stadium that is designed after a devil's trident.
Maybe they wouldn't care, who knows.
My first impression was I don't particularly like those three very tall towers/"pins"/lightning rods, but then I watched the video explanation by Norman Forster, and he said they are tridents, which totally makes sense now as it's the logo of the Red Devil holding the trident .
Wow! That is very different to what I thought they would come up with.
It seems to be misreported in the media - i.e. Sky announcing United to leave OT but Sir Jim made it crystal clear that is not the case, nothing is done. It will only happen if the gov commit big money to the broader redevelopment of the area. He said something along the lines of they can finance the stadium on its own but they won't do it without the commitment to a big public investment. So I am somewhat slowly pessimistic it will ever happen.
No. You need a vision, and the reality is fans are not good designers and don’t know what they want.
Every design will have its detractors. You would gain nothing except more dissent and delay by having a vote on it.
Just imagine if you voted on a new name - you would get Old McBoatFace Trafford.
I think the point is its purposefully not designed in the manner of an actual trident, hence the thought maybe they've half a mind on longer term investment/not offending potential suitors.
The outer undercover area is asking to be used in a similar way to the O2 - Filled with bars, restaurants, shops, etc. to keep the money rolling in outside of just games. PSR is forcing football down this route.
This is the but I like! Walking up and seeing the trident in the red!
This is quite cool, the only part I personally don't like of the design is that shitty viewing tower.
Does anyone know if the Spurs/Everton designs ended up much different to their initial concepts?
Where do you think they're going to play? Obviously they are going to stay at OT until it's built... there's no alternative.
Obviously illuminati inspired.
Oh I hadn't noticed that there was a viewing platform up that tower. That's cool actually, will pay the 50 quid it inevitably costs to go up it (once).
They could groundshare with City.
Is it being built on a different footprint to existing stadium?
I can't tell.
You'd have to be floating to the stadium to get that view. Not sure it would look much like a trident from ground level.
I think it looks amazing. So pleased it's not generic.
Almost certian it was said or at least implied in a previous announcement that we'd be staying at OT while it was built as they have the room to do so.
Time to create more history.
It looks hideous! I agree with the Circus/Butlins comments!
Feels like when Homer Simpson was asked to design a car!

Is it supposed to be a trident?
Looks lovely. I wonder if INEOS buy the naming rights to make it the INEOS stadium.
Looks absolutely stunning. About fecking time we set the standard and act like the biggest club in world football.
Now this is unlikely but my only hope is for the stands to be close to the pitch.

fecking Hell it looks like something out of The Wizard Of Ozz.
It's fine. Selling Rashford and Antony should pay for half of it
Looks both weird and absolutely fantastic. No point having a wonderful 100k stadium when we are bottom half though- so they better get going on the squad rebuild too.
No they definitely shouldn’t.
Is the circus tent/washing net removable? 
My initial thoughts was what on earth is that? But it has already grown on me quite quickly.
I think if they get the towers and the canopy lighting up in red it would look really cool.
It's still all ifs and buts and reliant on other factors if this stadium goes ahead but judging with how big a deal the club are making of the announcement I think would suggest they a pretty confident that this is a go.

At least it's not generic. Watch all the ABU's who crib about the likes of the Everton and Tottemham stadia being generic take the p**s about this one
