This is the new name Man City are going to give their stadium, in line with Etihad airways.

Old Trafford is still called Old Trafford, and remains the core of all the good football history and tradition in Manchester. If it was re-named we would be horrified, no matter how much we sold the name for.
But at City you're no doubt delighted, because it means more money which is all you care about. So congratulations.
The Etihad stadium

Missed the point of what was said completely, What have your owners done for the local community
And At least city dont need money from players testimonials for fans facilities like at the swamp, clearly it means our Owners put money into the club
And local areas, what do yours do for the local community, you really can't answer can you!

Manchester City soccer club will earn more than 300 million pounds ($480 million) in a 10-year sponsorship agreement with Etihad Airways, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The contract with Abu Dhabi’s government-owned airline calls for the English Premier League team’s playing facility to be renamed Etihad Stadium. Other sponsorships, including team jerseys and real-estate development, will push the value past 300 million pounds, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the terms haven’t been made public.
Just read this on Bloomberg -
"City is owned by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi. Etihad will retain its shirt sponsorship contract and adds media content and community partnership rights, the airline and the team said today."
Apparently French police are trying to talk Platani down from the Eiffel tower as I write.

It's all gone quiet from the rag, what I can't hear you, it's because he's scouting google looking for some proof that the glazzers have done something for the local community!
Epic fail dude

I had some work to do, amigo. Glad i kept you waiting though. And as i said, my query was not with what your owners are doing for East Manchester, i simply asked you to provide some proof to support your claim that United directly made money out of the ticket sales from Gary Neville's testimonial. Which you coudn't.

No my point was that a players testimonial money went into a fans facility, whereas our owners have helped the fans with a fan zone and are helping the community too!

I can never understand it when other fans use the Glazers, or the things they've done, as a stick to beat United fans with. Surely it's well known that United fans in general aren't particularly happy having the Glazers as owners?

Still not answering the question!
