I love the club and the way they handled today is top class.
A bit of me wonders if this was Plan A though.
There's a couple of reasons:
1. The mood music until recently is that nothing could be confirmed till impossible for City to play Bayern. I could well see that this would be a clear preference for Bayern, probably Pep, but probably not City.
It strikes me that perhaps that was the original verbal agreement.
2. The website crashing is just shit business practice and gives the impression of poor planning.
So - maybe it was Pellers who has pushed this early announcement through. There is something in his choice of words about informing the club of his intentions some time ago. I'm sure that it was all done with grace and class but it all leads me to think what we saw today was Plan B not Plan A.
Disclaimer - could be total bollocks and who cares anyway as Pep is on his way
