How is that confusing?
Carrington Update
- Thread starter Raw
- Start date
A lot of the city players live in town. As I said Pep encourages it (he isn't an estate agent) because it close to their training ground and the security team advise it. None of it is mandatory and it really isn't that bigger deal. They can live where they want.
By staff, I mean senior coaching staff.
As for United players, I have zero knowledge of where they live.
Little known fact. Pep is a qualified estate agent, or el agente inmobiliario, and has been for several decades.
Takes his commission through a company set up in the UAE.
Correct. The United Arab Estate agents coalition
Wait till the press finds out the upgrade has a barber shop so the players can invite their own barbers into Carrington
The vast majority live in the upmarket South Manchester/East Cheshire suburbs - Hale, Bowdon, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Prestbury
The first 2 are an easy drive to Carrington - the others only a bit further
We have planning permission
Take it this confirms we aren't moving away from Carrington?
I think it's still a real possibility in the future. Carrington was in desperate need of upgrades. They had to do something about it.
Correct. They may just give the current facility to the women & youth team in the future like 2/3 years down the line.
Save the 50m for a new training ground. Im sure the current one can't be that bad it needs that much money for a revamp.
Any clue what is "player performance zone" even means ?
Each player takes it in turn with their wife/girlfriend, whilst the others watch and score accordingly. Accounting for technique, speed in the box, and overall play.
Cristiano Ronaldo dislikes this post.
Always good to have an insider view
Our spraying passes to the box needs a real improvement tbf.
Totally. I mean, our build up is arthritic at best, so when we have made it into the box area, we need to be nailing it down.
Carrington is decent. The only real problem is the future space when sharing it with the academy and women teams.
The old Man City training centre just north of ours has been declining for years and now been turned into a rugby training facility. We could somehow get our hands on that somewhere down the line and then rebuild it into a state-of-the-art training centre for the women's team. Over time we could expand them towards each other by purchasing the land in between and finally build a dedicated academy training centre in the middle to connect them all. That would be some elite long term planning.

They’ve only now just made it a “professional condition”. Damning for the Glazers!
Isn't it Sale Sharks that have turned it into a rugby training facility? Unlikely that they're going to vacate it just so we can expand. We'd have to pay through the teeth for it.
Hey we've had those big planters with pretty flowers along the path leading to the outdoor pitch, what more do you want? A path of gold?
Pretty sure Man City still own it and the Rugby team just lease it, like Bury did before the got evicted for not maintaining it.
I don’t know where Sale Sharks have been before or where they go when the lease runs out or gets cancelled, but they are probably not staying permanently.
It seems outdated now and Man City won’t be using it, so I’m just saying that if there is an oppurtunity down the line to get it, we should be on it.
SJR mentioned something about Real Madrid being kind of a leading star and I read they have a training ground of 1.2 million square meters at their disposal, with individual suites for every player. So we are not quite there when it comes to training ground facilities and possibilities. We need more space to be able to develop a long term plan that leads in that direction.
How are Lvgs trees getting on?

Some newer pictures of Carrington can be found on Trafford council. Fost + Partners have added a slight spin to the existing designs - they are awaiting approval.
Nothing major, most of it stays the same but we get an idea of what the entrance will look like etc.

@vanderpants - these new amendments to the designs were just approved. How good is the new Carrington meant to be?
