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?
Agree. Very sad but we have to move on.
In general I like it, especially the three tridents. The umbrella looks weird though.
The naming rights will almost certainly be sold at some point.
What are they raking in though? Dividends ended so what exactly are they taking?
I read Sci-Fi Stadium
Okay I take back my circus tent statements, I think it looks quite cool. The interiors are magnificent, the plaza looks great, the night time shot looks absolutely bananas.
I presume the glass roof will be like the SoFi and be able to absorb the sun? Else thats going to be blinding with no shade
We'll have to see if they take dividends in the future, but the debt is theirs, so United pays their interest on that.
We will see in the future how it turns out, but the fact that the seating layout is similar to Old Trafford is a huge plus for me. Even the dug out looks the same.
Whatever additional value United gain as part of the process. It went from a 500m club --> 5b club over 20 years or so. I think a 10x improvement isn't happening but who knows how things will evolve.
EDIT
To flesh it out a bit, the three major revenue streams are TV rights (PL / CL tv $), Commercial rights (Adidas $, Malaysian tractor money, shirt sponsorships), Matchday (tickets, merchandise). It seems like we're tapped out on TV rights. I'm not sure about commerical, but maybe there's a bit more revenue to be had. The next big leg up in revenue has to come from the stadium. They'll increase ticket prices, they'll have fancy food, shopping malls, hotels etc. to capture more $ from the matchgoer.
Likely. It has been said before that United were looking at the SoFi as inspiration.
Need a big foam middle finger on the top of them pointing toward Eastlands
Looks like big top.
These clowns are just intent on running a circus.

Good lord
I presume that’s just to differentiate between the two stadiums at this moment in time, if it was called “Old Trafford” people would assume the current stadium is getting renovated
Looks fine to me.
Thousands of small magnifying glasses incoming!
It looks as if they're rebuilding San Mamés and putting the tent construction of Munich's Olympic Stadium on top. At least San Mamés is magnificent.
Not even certain that they'd sell it for $5billion and they bought us for $800m+ not $500m. While the return seems high on surface, if you merely invested $800m in S&P 500 stock back in 2005, you'd have more than $5billion now too.
Yeah…. Jim ain’t sinking 2 billy into a stadium to name it after a dead guy - especially THAT dead guy.
Well. Feck.
what a fresh, never heard before joke. brilliant that
Same style stadium to be built in Maroco from same architects
I will be there!
Why don't we just name it 'The Sir Alex Ferguson Stadium'?
Because that doesn't make a couple hundred million for the club.
I don't think so.
There may be corperate tickets at that rate, which there is already. But season tickets prices, im sure, will be pretty consistent to what they are now.
What will be interesting though is if the % of season tickets increases, decreases, or stays the same.
There are 49k season ticket holders now. Does that mean there will be 49k going forward (half the new stadium)? Or will it go up proportionally?
No way!? Surely that is the one feature that needs removing!
Yeah, it's definitely going to be sponsored. How about 'The Sir Alex Ferguson Stadium - sponsored by Ineos'?
Looks a bit like an Arab tent. Something Qatar might have gone for.
Nooooo!
Kitschy as feck, like straight out of UAE or Saudi Arabia. Is Jim actually Jassim in disguise?
They're also incorporating a vertical waterfall above one of the stands?!
The "how can they pay for this but can't pay for staff dinners and wages" schtick is so tedious.
It's in much the same way your average Joe can't afford to employ 15 housekeepers, 5 personal chefs and 11 gardeners to tend to his 3 bed semi, but he was able to get a mortgage to buy it in the first place.

We might not be able to field a competitive team, but at least we'll be able to collect rainwater.
Have to go and check social media to see what my opinion is...
One of the towers has a pod looking thing that looks like that spaceship from the first men in black movie the cockroach alien used.
The tent looks stupid, and everyone is poking fun at it. Ruins an otherwise interesting design. New Trafford will take time getting used to, but is a fine name.
I like it. It's unique and there's something epic and sinister about it, like a Sith lord living there.
It won't be named New Trafford, it'll 100% be sponsored.
Lots of questions about the transitional period still unanswered. When are we moving from OT? Where are we going to play? If they're going for 5 years then it must be soon.

I’ve seen so many unable to understand the most basic concepts of business and investment. Total dolts.
