Proposed Old Trafford Expansion

[joey_matthews]

what capacity is turf moor?

I Googled and it's 22,546. Smaller than the North stand!

It's good to consider expansion.

Can a united fan in the know tell me how bad you guys actually are debt? What I know of you guys are struggling to control the growing repayments. This is just something which makes me unsure, obviously you have money because the owners are rich but is it a case of considering wiping a bit of those debts first before spending more money than it's worth?

Hey joey_matthews. I had a look around the 'net for news, etc on this. Have a look at these links from April 2009 and see if it makes sense to you. The last accounts were published then:

I hope they help?

I see it sounded worse from what I heard than it is, although it doesn't sound healthy it would explain not making massive signings and letting key players go.

The stadium could be a good source of income, though I still am unsure that it would be worth it.

It's good to hear that the debt could be wiped within a few season, I'm basing that on the fact it stated you make 250mil and if you continue to gain near that amount and not buy in over-priced players as much then maybe it doesn't seem all doom and gloom.

Thanks for sharing it!
