Before we the fans, pundits etc start to congratulate ourselves just look at the opening line from the ELS official statement
Given the current circumstances we shall reconsider the most appropriate steps to reshape the project,
That should send a shiver down everyones spine and remind us not to take on trust our respective owners "apologies"
It won't go away

Seems like some other club has plagiarised that quote and credited to one of their own ex managers.

I am glad I am not going to Wembley this weekend. By the time next season comes I may feel slightly warmer towards the club but right now both my lad and I feel it all has an 'icky' feeling about it. No surprise that Liverpool and United wanted it, US owners wanting a predictable business model, not surprised at Arsenal and Spurs both of whom would have been flattered to be considered as teams who may win something but for City, with the moral stance they took on the spying issue and all the trumped up UEFA nonsense it feels a huge betrayal.
No team has come out of this well, but making UEFA look like the good guys may be the worst sin of all.

Disappointed that nothing has come out from the club even at this point in time, tbh.

Dear Supporter,
I am writing to you regarding the events of the past few days.
I am sorry it has taken a little time, but the circumstances have been somewhat exceptional and it was important to me to contact you directly.
As you know, Manchester City has formally enacted the procedures to withdraw from the group developing plans for a European Super League.
As always, when we make choices and decisions, we do so with the best interests of the Club in mind and we believed that being part of such an initiative could give us a voice that might be imperative to our future ability to succeed and grow.
However, in making that choice we failed to remind ourselves of the unbreakable link between the passion of our fans and the right to have the opportunity to earn success. It is a truth that is fundamental to the DNA of Manchester City and the Board deeply regrets taking a decision that lost sight of the historic values of the Club. We made a mistake and we sincerely apologise to our fans for the disappointment, frustration and anguish caused by the last 72 hours.
I want to personally assure you that the Owners, Chairman, Board and staff are completely committed to ensuring that the club continues to contribute meaningfully to the ongoing well-being of both the English and European football pyramids and their associated competitions. We will embrace the opportunity to earn back the full trust of our stakeholders and the football family in general.
I thank you for taking the time to read this and I extend my thanks to you for your continued support.
I look forward to welcoming you back to the Etihad Stadium as soon as circumstances allow.
Yours sincerely
Ferran Soriano, CEO

Cheers Boris. I did hear somewhere that it was “Pep’s mate” that made the decision. Thanks.

Apparently Madrid are signing Alaba... paying him with Nectar points, I guess.
