Manchester United is on a total rebuild since the arrival of the minority owner sir Jim Rattclife. The INEOS owner took the sporting sector under his wing and changed the coach, changed the scouting department and is currenly working on offloading the players unworthy of wearing United‘s shirt (there are plenty of them in the dressing room right now). But he also pushed the idea of cutting costs in order to get the finances right, so that revenues can go even higher. He sacked the employees and raised the ticket prices (among other things) and is now fully focused on brining new, bigger, brighter, state-of-the-art stadium instead of leaking Old Trafford. But, a bizarre situation can already jeopardize his idea.As if things were not awful enough already – mice infestation hits Old TraffordOfficials at Trafford council last night unequivocally backed the plans, which could see a new 100,000-capacity stadium at the heart of a vast regeneration programme. They will now seek a ‘top class consultant team’ that will be charged with ‘helping to shape a high-profile strategic masterplan for the regeneration of the area’. On Saturday, government voiced their support for the scheme with Chancellor Rachel Reeves describing it as ‘a shining example’ of their plans to promote economic growth. But a court case between Trafford council and Live Nation could now become a problem.Old Trafford is history? Man United consider building a new stadiumLive Nation is among top three (if not the top) global promoter of various (mainly musical) events, and they also own Ticketmaster. They dominate the industry, have interests in several venues and also runs security and merchandising. A new Manchester stadium would be a modern one, like Real Marid‘s refurnished home, and it would be a multi-purpose venue, which means it could generate a lot of money from other events, mainly musical. But Trafford council, on which ground the new stadium will be build is in quarrel with Live Nation. After a Red Hot Chilly Peppers concert in 2022, a member of the public was injured and council took Lancashire county cricket club (where the concert was held) to court. But they are not just after Lancashire, but they are prosecuting everybody involved, including Live Nation. The justified fear now is that the gigantic promoter will decide against organizing any events in the future at the Trafford council, including at the new stadium, which is expecting a lot of big events in order to generate money for the club.“They are not the kind of people you want to upset when you are trying to build a new stadium that will rely on concerts“ said one person with knowledge of the matter to Daily Mail.##NAJAVA_MECA_8667124##
