I mean.. when you're trying to smooze basketball players and likely business clients, that's kinda one of the places you would drop a big stack of money.

The point is that I was just laughing at all the talk about cost saving measures when it's basically like a guy saying he needs to tighten the belt and cut out a Netflix and Disney+ subscription to balance his budget when he's driving around in a Lamborghini. It's not that money can't be saved, it's that it's a tiny drop in the bucket compared to where the real money is going.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, co-owner of Manchester United, said: “We want to create a world class environment for our teams to win. When we conducted a thorough review of the Carrington training facilities and met with our men’s first team players, it was clear the standards had fallen below some of our peers. This project will ensure Manchester United’s training ground is once more renovated to the highest
standards.

“Lord Foster, a fellow Mancunian, has brought some great inspiration to the design, in conjunction with the Manchester United team and we look forward to seeing the improvement to the facilities but most importantly on the pitch.”

Lord Foster, Founder and Executive Chairman of Foster + Partners, said: “We are delighted to lead the renewal of Manchester United’s training facility in Carrington.

“Our aim is to modernise and revitalise the building as a catalyst for future footballing success, creating spaces that inspire a culture of collaboration, unity and belonging.

“As a proud Mancunian, it is a particular honour for me to see Foster + Partners given this responsibility and we will ensure that our design captures the spirit of industry, grit and ambition that exemplifies both Manchester and Manchester United.”

About time. :handclap:
