Summary

#800 | Ed and Adam dive into the ambitious plans for a new Old Trafford, spearheaded by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. The discussion covers mixed reactions to the design, the project's historical context, and fan group responses. They also talk about the significant role of government regulations, planning timelines, and the noticeable absence of the Glazer family in the launch. The hosts analyse the financial implications and potential impact on the club's future, including the broader economic benefits and challenges. They highlight the importance of integrating United's rich history into the new development and the need for fan consultation in the process.
