Man Utd chief gives major update on £2billion new stadium and reveals why ‘Wembley of the North' plan might NOT happen
MANCHESTER UNITED chief Omar Berrada has given the clearest indication yet that the club will only build a new stadium if it receives financial backing from the government. Earlier this year minority United owner and billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe unveiled ambitious new plans for a £2bn stadium which would hold 100,000 fans and be built next to the current Old Trafford. 6 6 Sir Jim said plans to regenerate the area around the stadium with 17,000 homes, shops, restaurants and hotels, would boost the UK economy by £7.3bn. But the plans could only go ahead if the surrounding area was developed using taxpayers' money. In a recent interview with Red Issue fanzine, Berada said: 'We still see the stadium as the catalyst for the wider regeneration project. "So we do need the government to commit to developing the area around the stadium for it to make sense. 'Without it it doesn't make sense for us to build the stadium as a standalone. "We believe that it could be a catalyst for one of the biggest, if not the biggest regeneration projects that this area of the country has ever seen. 'And it'll bring benefits for the wider community in terms of home, jobs, health, and all that, that can yield an enormous amount of positive impact. "Hopefully the government will support it and put the funds behind it.' Concept images of the ground have teased a huge wraparound scoreboard, along with a three-storey museum and canal-side restaurants as part of a vast fan village. If the plans do go ahead United will be able to continue playing at Old Trafford during the construction process, before demolishing the historic ground once they move into their new home. Man Utd reveal first pics of redeveloped 100,000-capacity Old Trafford in 'biggest regeneration scheme ever seen' During the announcement of the ambitious project, Ratcliffe said: "Our current stadium has served us brilliantly for the past 115 years, but it has fallen behind the best arenas in world sport. "By building next to the existing site, we will be able to preserve the essence of Old Trafford, while creating a truly state-of-the-art stadium that transforms the fan experience, only footsteps from our historic home." 6 6 6 6

PM snubs call to axe powerful No10 chief Morgan McSweeney after welfare backlash
THE PM'S powerful chief of staff Morgan McSweeney is 'not going anywhere' No10 declared - despite calls for him to be sacked over the welfare fiasco. Keir Starmer is battling to shore up his grip on power after being forced to massively water down benefits cuts in the latest screeching U-turn. 4 4 4 Rebel Labour MPs blame Mr McSweeney for the row and had demanded the PM sack the senior aide as part of a 'regime change' in No10. One rumour circulating among a small and well connected group of Labour figures suggested Mr McSweeney was fed up with No10 and wanted to leave. He was planning to return to Labour HQ to lead the party's campaigns and elections team - heading up the fight to beat Reform in 2029, according to a source close to No10. But last night Downing Street insisted the PM's Svengali is going nowhere. A No10 source said: 'Tittle tattle about a change to chief of staff is uninformed nonsense. 'He isn't going anywhere.' Ministers are confident they will get their benefits legislation over the line on Tuesday after 126 Labour MPs tried to derail plans. But they are braced for a significant rebellion with lefty MPs plotting a fresh bid to try and kill the bill. 'It's a mutinous atmosphere,' one Labour MP said. 'There could be 70 of us still against this legislation.' 4 One Government insider said: 'MPs are furious because they feel like they weren't being listened to. The question is, can No10 put that anger back in the box?' The climbdown over benefits and a U-turn on winter fuel means Chancellor Rachel Reeves must find £4.5billion. A Labour MP fumed: 'We can't keep making these U-turns every time we make a big decision. It's so expensive.' Helen Whately Shadow Pensions Secretary Every day it becomes clearer that this is a government without a plan and without any idea about how to run the country. Welfare is one of the most important challenges facing Britain. But still, Keir Starmer has no answers. The chickens of his deeply incompetent time in office are coming home to roost. He is being held hostage in Number 10 by the Parliamentary Labour Party. Having been forced into yet another humiliating U-turn, it is clear he is no longer in control. His authority is completely shot. That's because socialist Labour MPs don't believe in lower spending. Ever since Labour took office, they have been itching to spend more. From day one, they handed out billion-pound bungs to the union barons who bankroll their party. But that is not what the situation requires. After the pandemic, there has been a drastic expansion of people dependent on the welfare state, and it is set to reach boiling point. With 2,000 people being signed off work for good a day, spending on sickness benefits is set to rise to £100 billion by 2030. We cannot afford to support a country the size of Panama on benefits. But even so, this week's omnishambles makes clear Labour MPs are not comfortable with the tighter spending this desperate situation requires. Labour's changes would have seen this dented by £5 billion. It sounds like a lot, but in the context of £100 billion it is a drop in the ocean. We need our government to be a lot more ambitious on welfare spending, not less. What we need is a focus on getting young people into work. Labour has made that harder too, by destroying jobs and opportunities for people across the country. If they can't even deliver this paltry plan paltry for savings from a spiralling welfare bill, we don't have a chance. Britain deserves better. Diane Abbott said Sir Keir should be more like Tony Blair and take the left seriously. In a sign of more rows to come, she told BBC Radio 4: 'Starmer and his people thought they could dismiss Labour MPs, well they know differently now.' In a speech to Welsh Labour on Saturday the PM said fixing the 'broken' welfare system must be done in a 'Labour way'.

Tyson Fury's beloved Morecambe on brink of extinction after relegation into non-league as furious ownership row erupts
MORECAMBE FC have claimed that a deal to sell the club is on the brink of collapse, plunging the National League outfit's future into uncertainty. Morecambe, who were relegated from League Two this season after finishing bottom of the table, have been in financial turmoil for some time, with the club listed for sale since 2022. 4 Fans had assumed the issues were finally coming to an end after prospective new owners, Panjab Warriors, were cleared by the EFL to purchase the club after passing the fit and proper persons test earlier this month. However, Panjab Warriors have now claimed that the current ownership, Bond Group - led by majority shareholder Jason Whittingham - have "adopted an uncooperative stance" that is "obstructing the completion of a sale". In a statement, Panjab Warriors wrote: "We now see no option but to publicly disclose the current situation, as the continued delays have become untenable. "To be clear: the delay lies solely with Bond Group (Jason Whittingham) and Colin Goldring. "It now appears they are deliberately jeopardising the very existence of the club in a last-ditch effort to alter terms that were already agreed upon and formally ratified by the EFL. "This is a blatant attempt to extract additional funds from the Panjab Warriors team by using Morecambe FC's future as leverage." The statement went on to reveal that Bond Group have claimed they are unable to pay staff and players for the month of June. It continued: "Disturbingly, further proof of this emerged today when the Bond Group informed Morecambe FC's Board of Directors that they are unable to facilitate the club's payroll, due today, for players and staff. 4 "Displaying a shocking disregard for the livelihoods of those who serve the club day in, day out. "We firmly and publicly criticise the actions and approach of Mr Whittingham and his associates and implore Bond Group to honour the agreed terms and finalise the sale without further delay." Meanwhile Morecambe's website also displayed a statement from the club's board of directors, condemning the actions of the Bond Group and pleading with those in charge to sell the club to Panjab Warriors. The statement read: "Bond Group Investments Limited are playing with people's livelihoods, threatening the very existence of this proud club, and risking serious damage to the community it serves. "They have consistently proved to be deceitful, and the Board of Directors call upon them to, for once, do the right thing and sell the club immediately to Panjab Warriors." SunSport have approached the Bond Group for comment. Financial issues have damaged the club on a sporting level in recent campaigns, namely seeing a transfer embargo put in place last March due to the non-payment of a VAT bill. Since the club was put up for sale in 2022, the team has suffered consecutive relegations and fallen from League One to the National League. While wages have gone unpaid for players and staff on multiple occasions in the past. Fan groups have voiced their concern over the latest developments, asking for communication from Bond Group over the position of the sale. The club's official supporters group, Shrimps Trust, said: "If there is an issue with the sale, this needs to be open and transparent, after 14 days of being told 'this will complete imminently' the message has worn thin. 4 "EFL clearance has been given, we have been told that terms had been agreed, no more time should be wasted. "Complete the sale of our club, and let Morecambe FC start a new chapter in our history." While fan protest group, The 1920 Union, said in a statement: "If wages are late again, then serious questions must be asked. ''Where is the money? We are reminded that season ticket sales are up compared to last season. "Prize money and gate receipts from our FA Cup run, as well as solidarity payments from the EFL, have been received. Yet the staff and players who keep this club going are once again left in limbo." Adding: "Enough is enough. We need a sale. We need answers. And we need a future we can believe in. ''Our club cannot continue to drift aimlessly. It must be secured, stable, and supported.'' Morecambe are former boxing heavyweight champion Tyson Fury 's local club. The Gypsy King has sponsored the club's shorts in the past, and even claimed in 2022 that he was considering buying them. He told talkSPORT at the time: "I'm thinking about buying Morecambe Football Club, they're in League One at the moment. "So I was thinking I invest X amount of millions in them. Basically throw it at them and keep them going up. "I've been offered to buy Morecambe Football Club. I own all the training facilities anyway and the training gym. So who knows? "You might be looking at a football club owner."
