Okay, that's totally understandable. The thing with this situation is that the City is basically going to be the financier and the route the local football community is heading is terribly inefficient and ineffective. It seems like the Mayor is someone who couldn't stand such inefficiency or ineffectiveness and would like to look at the larger picture. After taking a wider look, the City might want to say: "I don't want to show you how to do your job, but the path you are choosing is one we cannot afford to help pave.".
