Why can't they just give us an apology or a least an explanation? Please just do it before you turn more fans off, it just makes sense.

I think the ESL needed City a whole lot more than the other way round. Club were probably railroaded along with offers and inducements too good to refuse. But as the old saying goes; "if it looks like a turd and smells like a turd, it's a turd"!!
Feel a lot better this morning but still annoyed we were put through the last 2 days. What did they think would happen if we hadn’t signed up for it? Did they really think this thing had legs? All this Trojan horse talk is wishful thinking. If the 6 teams fans had gone along with it the thing was happening.
Give it a chance. Rumours Khaldoon will be speaking about it.Why can't they just give us an apology or a least an explanation? Please just do it before you turn more fans off, it just makes sense.
Think it was about a duck but the sentiment is the same.I think the ESL needed City a whole lot more than the other way round.

I could hear the crocodile tears dripping as that Yankee Dipper charlatan emitted his honeyed words. I hope to fcuk our club doesn‘t compound its PR fiasco with similar shite.The grovelling apologies from Arse and LFC owners speaks volumes imho.
Would rather they explain the risk of following a more noble line and admitting they took a calculated decision that looked right at the time.
Evidence? So awkward, that evidence stuff.My thoughts on that are made very clear in the other thread.
The football world is very small, everybody knows everybody. To say we played no part is an understatement, we played our part make no mistake.
At our club we have an owner who not only is a member of a royal family but also a politician from the UAE. If you take it down one more to Khaldoon, he has been in businessman his whole life and educated in America so he knows their ways. That's pretty impressive stuff. You don't mess about with politicians let alone royal family members.
Then you have these others, lets focus on the yanks of the 3 clubs. Who quite frankly are nothing but small time businessmen in the grand scheme of it all compared to ours.
Hence the grovelling video from John Henry this morning. Pretty embarrassing if you ask me! He would have been better off staying silent, at least until the dust has settled for 24-48 hours.

I was watching this story from 3am via my phone in bed before work, so I'm tired but mainly relieved that we got out of that cesspool and did it first. I stayed up to watch the Pep presser and as soon as I saw it I thought yep we're out of this crap, got a couple of hours of sleep in then up again hoping this nightmare was over. I'm hoping Tolmies info/take us correct, to me it feels like it is and we wore one to throw a bigger one back. But that maybe viewed through rose coloured glasses such is my love for our club.
I'm proud of what our supporters did and have done, and the rest of the clubs supporters.......the backlash did the concept in, and to able to go to bed and be up at 4 to watch the Villa game tomorrow morning feels somewhat like it should, something I wasn't going to do if we stayed in that ESL.
I'm hopeful we get a apology at the least or a statement of why from Khaldoon, I'm not expecting the full story to come from us.
I'm still a bit wary that this isn't the last of it, this move wasn't what it was painted out to be, this is a war between the established clubs and UEFA, and I'm hoping we are on the right side of it going forward..I never want to see us aligned with the lot that despise us so much ever again. I'm hopeful that we are now.

It is mate, but it wasn't hard to predict this backlash.
Yes, but there is no guarantee City would have got much positive PR. In fact, many would blame City/PSG spending and failure of UEFA to ban City as reasons for the creation of the Super League.
