the problem was they should never have let multiplex run the project,

it was obvious before they even started building that it was doomed. They undercut the rival companies by around 100million to get the project. now there is no way they could build a stadium on that scale with the price they qouted. I blame the FA/government. they chose to do it on the cheap. let them carry the can
