No explanation, no apology, are they hoping it just fades away ? Considering how professional they normally are this is just an extension of the shit show .
It seems to be quite widely accepted we and Chelsea were dubious and only decided over the weekend to put our name to it after ultimatums, the fact the chair and vice chairs were from other clubs makes it fairly obvious we weren’t a driver of it. So not naive at all.Yes. It was leaked in January and 442 magazine reported it along with others. Are people really naive enough to think we were not at the top table then and just decoded to dive in after a few pints last Friday night?
It wasn't the fans mate, it was fifa saying players would be banned from the world cup and the Premiership talk of expelling City from the league....players kicked off, pep kicked off.....the fans fury was the last thing the owners took in to account.I can't agree that we (the owner/club) were instrumental in bringing it down, by the time we announced our withdrawal the project was already dead in the water and that was down to everyone from fans to the government not Manchester City. We maybe deserve some credit for being the first to "leave" but not much.
How long does it take?. Very poor so far from the clubStill waiting for an explanation and an apology.
They were stuck between a rock and a hard place. If they said no from the start and the ESL took off, we could of been left behind financially.
This was a little blot on the landscape. When the dust settles we will all be laughing about it in a few months time.
