Twas ever thus. The truth is this was an American led coup. They were the architects, the ring leaders, he major beneficiaries and chief shit stirrers who have spent a decade trying to stop City. Aided and abetted by their media acolytes they painted us as the bad guys.
So now, the narrative continues in that vein where all 6 are tarnished with the same brush. Now our owners invited that upon themselves there is no doubt about that but unless the club is careful, recent history will start to be rewritten and the American owned clubs will get off relatively lightly from both the media and UK football authorities, probably by UEFA as well.
They have already published their bullshit apologies.
I really do think City need to publish something quickly and actually DO something by way of penance. For example, anyone who has held a season ticket for 10 years or more gets next season either for free or £50. That is so easy to do and would distinguish our owners from the rest. Secondly, they need to be clear as to who were the instigators and do that publicly....what can they do to us now?
I still do trust our owners and am personally willing to lose a bit of my football soul for the success (I like thousands of others have done our time at Lincoln, Chesterfield and the rest) but thye need to rebuild trust and bridges and really show again they are different to others
