Question If I was to give you 2 billion pounds

And you have to purchase United, what changes would you make at the club?

Obviously, apart from perhaps freezing or lowering ticket prices.

Not sure how much the club would be sold for in the current climate.

Would you push ahead with attempting to expand the South stand? 'Singing' areas? A crazy summer spending spree? Sacking Alan Keegan?

Flatten the Bishops and replace it with a proper pub.
Have Sullers killed
Play myself upfront against City (making sure I was always on Richard Dunne's side)

I thought you'd be selling naming rights to the stadium and broadcasting all home games on MUTV, to maximise your revenue.

Oh, and making Betfair the official club betting company.

I'd instigate an actual system of top red points, to be used to decide away allocations.

I'd start off by flattening OT into a heap of rubble before selling off the metal etc to the relevant companies. I'd then sell the players on a first come first served basis with no bid too small. With the remaining land I'd team up with Bill Oddie, Chris Packham and terry Nutkins to set about building a nature reserve. Maybe along the lines of Barnes Wetlands Centre - it'd be absurd to ignore the nearby waterways. I think by doing this it'd help bring happier times and a lasting legacy to future generations.

I'd have a monorail around the gantry and put Pete Boyle in it so he can quickly get to parts of the ground that need geeing up.

Brilliant ideas there - add in relocating the disabled section - when they ripped half of scoreboard out the atmosphere there died immediately. I'd also move the current exec block in the middle of the stretty.

Oh, and ban the Irish.
