Tbh it looks like something AI would knock up.That feasibility study and design by Fosters would have cost 6 figures.
So they are intending to pre fabricate it and bolt it together after shipping it to Manchester and then down the ship canal.
Bit of a kick in the balls for local contractors and presumably avoids vat.

Exactly. Football has changed. People don't want expensive, older players anymore. It will take them years to rebuild that squad bit by bit.It fudging is, complete fluff piece of brick ..
- No club who can't afford to pay minimum wage staff is going to build a top tier Stadium in the current financial and political climate.
- Design, approvals, impact on local area, transport stuff, will literally take fudging years ..
- Our stadium cost damn near a billion, how much you think this fudging circus tent will?
This is where the media drives me fudging around a bend, same as the articles that Amorim will get rid of 9 players this summer, who the fudge is buying them? where is the money coming from to replace them with better players?
Nonsense. Man United will buy expensive, older players. Wait, er... OK, sell them to yourself for immediate profit and amortise the payments out and ...er... build a circus tent, right?Exactly.

I don’t have a problem with that. It’s queue jumping and STs are not transferable. People are paying to be on the waiting list.
I get that but perhaps there should be a way a direct family member (daughter, son) can take it on. As I assume the seats are together and it's these locked in experiences that bond generations.I don’t have a problem with that. It’s queue jumping and STs are not transferable. People are paying to be on the waiting list.
Has he lost his ticket as well thru breaking the rules??Classy!
Maybe the players would prefer a room that doesn’t remind them of their partner at homestill some will blame the club no doubt? sounds a bit similar to the Grealish saga.
Fernandes was all set for sign for Spurs under Mauricio Pochettino.
The deal was all but done, after five meetings with his entourage and Spurs left Fernandes and his people impressed with the north London club's structure.
"They were absolutely next level when it comes to detail," said a source involved in the talks.
"Even the rooms at the training ground - each one was decorated just like the players' bedrooms at home, the ones they share with their partners.
"The bed was exactly the same. Even the flowers in the garden gave off a scent that's meant to be beneficial - it was mind-blowing.
"There were two weeks left in the window, but Sporting were going to accept it."
The club board, however, changed their mind, holding out for an offer twice as big that never arrived. With the transfer window closing, they made the decision during the Europa League draw in Monaco to sell Raphinha to Rennes instead.
Fernandes was so convinced that he'd be heading to north London that, when Sporting president Frederico Varandas came to explain the situation, he told him to go away.
