Depends what your priorities are for our football club.
i dont understand how city fans priority wouldnt be to win the premier league. if we can do it without the ugly c*nt im sure we would all prefer to do that. but if we continue in our same vein of form/ performance then we will win sod all.
The point as I see it is as follows:
Would you want to win the league at any cost?
What if it meant the team cheating? What if it meant playing a convicted paedophile in the team just because he was a good player? What if it meant bribing officials?
I suspect, and hope, that your answer would be no to all three of those things.
So on that basis you don't believe in winning the league at all costs.
To many blues giving the opportunity to a man who has constantly disrespected the football club without any degree of contrition would be a mistake, and a matter that is more important than winning the league this season. It would mean success at too great a cost alongside the fictitious examples above.
We don't live in a world of black and white and I am very much a pragmatist, but included in that is a realisation of the value of the way this football club is perceived and moreover its ability to impose its will on matters such as this on an ongoing basis.
My priority is Manchester City Football Club and what it should stand for, not winning the Premier League. The fact you don't understand that means our priorities are clearly very different.
