Many clubs have failed to protect children from monsters, ours was one of them.
The children that were failed, and ensuring nothing like that happens again is the only thing that matters.

I think he meant that Roan seemed to suggest that it was City's investigation, the results of which were released today, which was "wholly inadequate", when in actual fact that's how City's investigation describes the club's response to allegations in the 80s.
