its a chillin prospect, but what if the ginger one sells the name of the club, arsenal made £100mill from naming there new stadium the Emirates Stadium, the nike arena? 
Old Trafford!
- Thread starter ste_michaels
- Start date
The Durex arena
It's highly likely if you ask me.
The prospect of losing the name is unthinkable, however, I feel that even if it did become the ''Nike Arena'', it would still be known by everyone as ''Old Trafford''.

Its very likely, especially because a) i personally think we will get more than 100 million for the naming rights b) Glazer must have this or something similar to this to erase or dept!

ther's a nascar team in the us sponsored by viagra. I shudder to think who HE has in mind for the stadium naming right's that everybody seems is inevitable.I personally think HE has plans to sell the land that OT sits on & we will relocate to god only know's where.
more likely to sell and lease back and through some fancy financing help pay the monthly debt repayments. Moving us would mean he'll try and blag a stadium out of the council, can't see Trafford borough forking up the squillions needed since city and the sports complex sorted for the commonwealth games has more than provided for the conurbation of manchester. So where woud he move us to? the NW has a a large number of premiership and old div 1 teams, wilmslow reds? least its closer for the players to drive....

Certainly to the people that matter, the fans, it will always be Old Trafford.
With the way football is going, like it or not, MU have to be able to compete with CFC & Arse so making £100m+ from a stadium name may well have happened anyway....even if Glazer had not bought the club.

True.
Because of how he's taken over the dwarf has had to make no promises to any fans, hasn't had to appease anyone and can make any decison he wants to furnish his debt. Renaming the stadium is very high on the list of money making scenarios for him and I expect that within the next year or so. Season tickets will go up but you'll get a free plastic leprechaun with every ticket purchase. When you collect 20 of these you'll get a free McDonalds Happy Meal.
Even through those lean years I was never as disheartened with our club as I am now.
This is our future.........

The ginger cnut.
If you tell me he owns Lucky Charms breakfast cereal as well, I will throw myself from the nearest tall building.
Glazer's fate........
One time Old Trafford, always Old Trafford...
Nike Theatre of Dreams Arena brought to you by McDonalds 'We love to see you laugh, so we are keeping Caroll and Howard btwn the sticks", Budweiser "The king of piss" and Viagra " Helps you stay up longer than Wigan will".
It will always be Old Trafford

As for OT the new name will be "The Budweiser Soccer Bowl - King of Cheers"
How about the...
"Sit on your arse, dont sing, and feck off early Old Trafford Megastore"
Oh thats what it's called already.....

Arse builded a new stadium and needed a name, i dont think they would have sold Highbury.Marching said:

They're selling it now.
The lot is going to become Pansy Pants Luxury Apartments, after they bulldoze the last place the Babes played on English soil.
Kinell, didnt know that.jasonrh said:They're selling it now.

Supposed to be one of the all time greatest games at Shybury.
We played Gregg, Foulkes, Byrne, Colman, Jones, Edwards, Morgans, Charlton, Taylor, Viollet, and Scanlon.
United had a 3-0 lead at halftime via Edwards, Charlton, and Taylor. Then the Arse scored 3 in three minutes (including one from David Herd).
So Viollet and Taylor made it 5-3, before Arsenal made it interesting.
It finished 5-4.
Even though we conceded four, we were supposed to have been in absolutely tip top spectacular form that night. 'Majestic' is a word I've heard those who were around to see it use.
Even the Arsenal fans clapped us off the pitch.
And then five days later, came Munich.
