There's a humungus thread on BM mate, including a few archtectural ITKs ('City Billionaires to turn Eastlands into Las Vegas'). If you cant read through 393 pages, it basically reckons that the whole area development comes first, with some announcement between Xmas and end of season.
With the ground there are options - filling a few corners may get 2000, putting the 3rd tier on the ends (up to 56,000 or more), rebuilding a massive 3rd tier all around (and supports behind it) or a new ground. The last is not supposed to be an option, but they seem to be waiting for demand to be screaming to undertake something really big. And any ground expenditure would be best put in the 'Platini years' I suppose.
At the moment there is a multi-million enablement work going on in the surrounding area.
Apologies for linking to BM, but there is some good stuff in this thread (along with the bad) if you have the time - start at the back:
