In any situation where you’re given a choice to make, you have to look at your alternatives.
What’s clear is this was hatched up without us - and was happening - with us in it or not.
We were offered a choice to be part of the ESL proposal, or to stay with UEFA’s competition in a revised form which is also a compete fucking stitch up.
In that situation, both choices were shite - so it looks like we took the best option.
There was no continuity ‘stay as it is’ option available.
Frankly, I don’t blame the Club for not trusting UEFA as much as I wouldn’t blame them for not trusting the Yanks.
Some on here seem to be reacting as if we have walked out on a mystery option which somehow retained the ‘soul of football’ within it.
That option does not exist.
This was one shit show against another - and we chose the most advantageous option for our Club.
We clearly weren’t the architects of this, but were forced to make a choice between two sides.
I may be being thick here, but I just don’t see this honourable third option you all seem to be lamenting actually existing anywhere in reality.
