He is now the owner of the ground, which means he picks up the bills. The Corona kop is a disgrace, it should be in a museum, it deserves preservation as a throwback to an earlier time. But as a part of a modern stadium it has no place.

The supporters club area needs rebuilding, as does the terracing by the corona kop towards the main stand, and the pathways.

The Habbin needs to go. There are no private boxes. The rich need catering for.

Meanwhile, the team is tanking, and will need serious reconstruction. Good management only goes so far. I dont know if its a Russian word or Polish, but some pretty serious pinyonsi is needed, im not even sure if thats the correct spelling.

Has he got it? No, judging by previous behaviour. He has two fellow investors, to make the club sellable to make big bucks, the above will need addressing. Very little at the Abbey has changed since i toddled in in the late fifties or early sixties.

No one knows how much cash Barry has, or his investors, maybe he has serious money, and is only spending pocket money on the club. That in itself is a form of abuse and not doing things right, getting what he can for as little as possible.

Its not unusual behaviour for rich people, its how they make money.

Maybe he is struggling, who knows. This could put him under.

Either way, United fans are about to find out. Soon.
