Question - I'm interested in seeing what posters thought was City's intention in their short involvement in the ESL. Ignore the option with just 'N'. Can't seem to delete it.
No problem, have edited the poll for you, removed the "
N" option and moved "
None of the Above" as a last option instead of in the middle.
In my personal view, it's ALL of the above ...
It started with "
Not good but had little choice" ... as we were not given too much time to plan or think it through or consult fans/players etc etc.
Then it went from there to "
We became what we've always hated" when we allowed that shambles of the statement with Glazer's quotes on our website. ... which was "
An ill judged cock-up" ... but I guess had to go with it if that was the statement agreed by all 12 clubs and every one put up the same, then we couldn't really have something of our own going on ...
I think around that time it was "
An opportunist bit of mischief making" against UEFA as City I believe thought TSL might kick-off or not but it would hurt UEFA and make them sit up and listen (see Pep's quotes were anti-UEFA quite a bit in his presser calling them out).
And finally when the powers be saw how it was unfolding and all, they quickly went into developing "
A cunning conspiracy to hit our enemies hard" ... I believe when all these big wigs started resigning from UEFA and City saw PSG and Bayern were getting in bed with UEFA, they had to choose a side quickly ... and they went with lesser of the evil ... which was UEFA ... they ditched these American so called new friends (who they knew never were our friends) but it was a matter of keeping your enemies closer I believe ... we then saw the opportunity that UEFA was all of a sudden cleansed up by Agnelli, Woodward and all the likes resigning from there ... so a little rinsed UEFA and something to bargain with seemed a good option and we cut a deal with them and I am absolutely certain we cut a deal ... that UEFA statement issued by Cefrin calling us by name as a beacon of hope and all that and welcoming back into the European family and all those glowing words ... I swear I have tried typing all that and you can't type it as fast as that statement came out within minutes of City's statement that they're leaving ... so that is a fact those two were released in coordination with each other and since then no other club has been "welcomed" by UEFA that way tells me we totally had turned and gone into that what you call a cunning plan ... It's never been UEFA's current bosses (Cefrin and his team) that we've had problems with or even have good relations with FIFA and that Infantani ... it's been these Woodwards and Agneli's and so inside UEFA who have conspired against us, just like the hateful 9 when they wrote to CAS so yeah sure PSG and Bayern are still in there but now so are we, on the inside ... which is what we went running in to TSL for in the first place - to be inside rather than out.
... so for me it's kind of ALL OF THE ABOVE!
