I dont know if thats a zing, but I'll allow it.

You did nail it though. Glendale may even be worse off if they get their wish.

They want to get out of the management agreement but they need the Coyotes to stay, but if they annul the agreement its likely the Coyotes will move thus removing whatever revenue they do generate and then the City is on the hook for the whole cost which is likely higher than their current losses.

The status quo is likely the best they can hope for at the moment.
