It was paid for by whoever built the Arndale at the time. It was a very interesting piece - love it or loathe it thing. It proved to be either unreliable or needed a lot of maintenance depending who you talk to. I suspect lack of maintenance made it unreliable and it broke often.
The repair costs appear to be the main reason for it's removal, at the time the Arndale was busy and removing it allowed more selling space to rent out. You decide for yourself why it was removed, I suspect making more space personally.
