When it became clear there was a chance of a UK team being in the final they should have made plans in advance.

What would they have done if Everton got to the final? Just hope they would stay in Liverpool?

It's part of the deal of hosting large sporting events, you are going to get hangers on and travelling fans. Manchester didn't have a proper plan to deal with large numbers of them
