Can I be the first to ask Chris Bailey to mention, when he interviews Khaldoon at the end of the season, the disgusting attack on our bus prior to the first leg of the CL quarter final at Anfield?
There is no doubt that if the posters on Bluemoon are anything to go by, City supporters generally regard the attack as an absolutely despicable act, one which will - sorry, has - caused massive and potentially irreparable damage to relations between the two sets of supporters. I don’t doubt that it has soured the relationship between the clubs, though I suspect that at or about boardroom level there will too much professionalism to let that get in the way.
There may be very good reasons why Khaldoon does not want to talk about the issue, but I for one would be very very interested to hear his views on the attack, and to hear the clubs view on how Liverpool FC and Merseyside Police acted at the time and have acted since. I would also be interested in learning how, if at all, Liverpool have compensated City for the attack.
There are many other things that Khaldoon will be asked, and all being well most of them will be reflections on a record breaking title wing season, and this thread may be a platform to discuss them. But as a City fan I have to say I am far angrier about the bus attack than I have ever been about any issue that has ever affected City in the past and that includes the time we were playing keep ball in the corner with the score at 2-2 when we needed to win to avoid relegation.
