It&#8217;s not just about the site and the venues and how they benefit, it&#8217;s the wider economic benefits to the city of people coming in and eating in the restaurants in the day, staying in hotels, and I think it&#8217;s great for Manchester.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The buzz is building for the 2028 Euros, with the UK and Ireland\u2019s host cities recently unveiled.
