Second airport in Manchester?

Could Manchester do with a second airport?

MAN is getting very busy, and cannot offer good enough rates to attract EZY or other LC airlines into the airport. Jet2 and BMIBaby are giving it a good go, but a second airport would provide the carriers with better turnarounds (if it was smaller) and better landing rates.

Glasgow, which attracts less traffic than Manchester, has two airports Glasgow International and Glasgow Prestwick. How can Glasgow sustain two airports, where as Manchester has to do with one?

Would be very pleased to hear thoughts.
