A lot of these comments are frankly absurd. I get he’s going to a rival but he’s not a Man City fan born and bred in Burnage, he’s an employee who has been a major part of our success for the last 10 years.
He’s probably been offered a boat load of money and a bigger role as a CEO. That’s business. This happens at the C-Level literally all the time in absolutely every industry. The only question is whether he has non-compete clauses but we have no way of knowing what they look like.
City will replace him with somebody who is also vastly competent and experienced, of that I have very little doubt. I would suggest you will see Khaldoon or somebody high up at City come out in the coming days and thank him for his contribution, because that’s the proper way to do things. Not call him a rat and start wildly speculating about his treachery.
Honestly, if I’d worked for a company for nearly 10 years and gave my heart and soul and achieved great things and then saw the fans commenting like they are on this thread I’d probably be thinking I’d made the right decision.
Edit: I see the club statement has thanked him.
