"It is thought around £245m in additional funds will be made available by Ratcliffe for infrastructure works related to the stadium."

Will the Glazers stump up the rest of the funds since it's estimated to cost like 1.5b to renovate?

The Glazers won't even pay for a sausage roll if it's within a 50km radius from Manchester city center. The rats take out money, not put in.

1.5b is basically the cost to rebuild it or build a new stadium tbh.

This is the cost of redeveloping the Sir Bobby Charlton stand plus around £20mil for modernising within the rest of the stadium. A great first step. Should take capacity up closer to 90k.
