It is the most successful football club in Britain and more than £ 5 billion worth more than £ 5 billion – but the money from the taxpayers will be used to start the redevelopment of Manchester United, it came up on Tuesday evening.
Millions of Pounds Public Money will help the rebuilding of £ 2 billion of Old Trafford, announced on Tuesday by co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham defended the use of public financing and said that the plans would unlock a broader schedule that the 'largest urban regeneration would be since the Olympic Games in London 2012'.
But the use of the money from the taxpayers 'just to justify the wish of a football club to improve their land' was questioned by former Tory leader Sir Iin Duncan Smith.
In January, before United – English League champions for a record 20 times – had outlined precise details about his redevelopment, Chancellor Rachel Rachel Rachel Rachel Rachel Defined the Old Trafford project as a 'radiant example' of government plans for economic growth.
But she refused to say how much public money would be.
Designs for the planned new site of 100,000 seats, by architect Lord Foster, were compared with the Eiffel Tower by Ratcliffe, who said he wanted to create 'the largest' stadium in the world.
The building itself will be financed by private content money.
The groups of supporters expressed their concern about the proposed stadium, which was ridiculed on social media and compared to a 'circus tent' or a 'Butlins' holiday camp.
The 1958 – which organized a demonstration during the weekend in which thousands of fans were dressed a league match against Arsenal in Zwart, described in protest against the ownership of the Glazer family and Ratcliffe – the new design as a 'generic, soulless company structure, more related to a modern entertainment lighting.
The £ 2 billion project, which has been set to take five years, also comes after United has announced 200 job losses and bought free meals for staff. It was also planning to halve his financing for his disabled supporters association – an idea later reversed.
But it has now emerged that the grandiose schedule will be built on the huge Trafford Park Rail Freight Terminal next to the existing Old Trafford Ground.
The train depot will have to be uprooted to St. Helens, 20 miles away, financed with public money.
Apart from buying the country, United will not contribute to the costs of moving the freight terminal, which could encounter hundreds of millions of pounds.
Mr. Burnham wanted to move the Track Depot for a long time, because half a mile long trains to and from the site hide passenger routes in the city.
But Sir Iain Duncan Smith, former Tory leader, said: 'Spending the public money is a decision that they must justify for the electorate.
“What is absolutely excluded is doing earlier than they may have thought, just to justify the wish of a football club to improve their land.”
And Nathan Evans, leader of the conservative group in the Trafford Council, said: “If the taxpayer pays for the depot movement, there should be an advantage for the public, as via United that lands on its existing site.”
Greater Manchester officials point out that public money – which will also be spent on the wider redevelopment of country around Old Trafford for 17,000 houses, retail and leisure activities – will lead to a huge advantage for the region and 48,000 jobs.
The group of the fans of the 58 said that the new stadium would be financed by even more debts on top of £ 1 billion already owed.
The spokesperson said: 'It seems great that we were told the club on Monday, where months have no more money to build a new stadium now.
'No information has yet been shared with the club about how this new project will be financed. More debts? '
A spokesperson for Manchester United said that five years referred to the time that was taken from start to finish for redevelopment, not that it would be completed in five years.
The spokesperson also said that the redevelopment of the stadium would “be part of a wider schedule” that would have “big benefits” – and that moving the railway depot and the congestion that causes it would have benefits for passengers in the north of England. “
He added the £ 2 billion financing for the new stadium, would “come from the open market” and was not yet present.
Greater Manchester combined authority said that Old Trafford regeneration could benefit the local economy by £ 7.3 billion.
A spokesperson said: 'The regeneration schedule of Old Trafford represents the largest regeneration schedule -led regeneration schedule since the Olympic Games in London 2012.
'As was the case in London, financing of the public sector can help to unlock sites and deliver infrastructure, making mass investments in the private sector possible.
'Transforming the area around Old Trafford will not only benefit Greater Manchester. The potential relocation of freight away from the site can help to bring new lifespan in under -utilized industrial country and to illuminate congestion on our rail network. '
