I'm sure it'll be something like:
We were approached about creating an alternative competition to the CL, which would enable the club to grow and provide the finances required to maintain a position at the top.
Haaland isn't coming for a fiver.
We sign an MOU to explore the possibility and as it appears the goalposts shifted, been there before remember, we began to have second thoughts. The response of the fans made it clear to us, we were right to be sceptical and immediately began proceedings to withdraw.
We have always valued our fans of this great club of which we are temporary custodians, however we understand our recent actions without prior consultation have strain that relationship, which we will Hard to rectify.
Moving on, we've signed Danny into cos were skint ;)

Seriously though they'll be nothing else other than insiders on here hearing this or that

I wasn't too wide of the mark
 
I have been intrigued reading theories that City's participation and withdrawal were opportunist manoeuvres to settle a few scores with our PL colleagues. At first this seems simply one more fascinating conspiracy theory. I don't know how much credibility it merits but a little thought suggests it is not to be dismissed lightly. )

We cannot forget the role played in the events surrounding the famous Der Spiegel emails and the role played in those events by Manchester United (including the pious comments of Ed Woodward), Liverrpool and Arsenal. I'm sure City would not have been averse to a vote to expel the three from the PL but I doubt they viewed this as a realistic outcome. But City's withdrawal with that of Chelsea destroyed the ESL and forced the trio to get out double quick. Ed Woodward is now history and it is hard to see how these three clubs will enjoy anything like the influence with UEFA that they have for the last 20 years. And the hopes of a considerable input of funds has vanished. They are still up towards the top of the European super debtors' league and their plans for the transfer window in shards at their feet. And all this goes for Barcelona and Real. Barcelona will now have a summer of dealing with their massive debts and thinking how they can possibly offer Messi a realistic contract. Even Ceferin may have noticed that those who bugger City about seem not to prosper.
