    This certainly seems like the most likely explanation.
    The best bit was josh explaining that they couldn’t communicate with the fans because of the pandemic whilst on a zoom call to the fans during the pandemic.

    Vinai’s apology to the other clubs went down like a lead balloon apparently.

    We tried to leave our wife for a younger, sexier model.
    Then discovered immediately it wasn’t going to work.
    I don’t think a “soz” is really going to cut it

    I don’t know about you guys, but cold nights in Stoke are certainly the highlight of my footballing year.

    Especially now they’re in the Championship.

    100%. Its funny but the one part of the Arsenal owners' apology that rang true was the statement that we did not want to be left behind. I am sure that this was the case, and if football fans are really honest, part of them would all have felt the same. Part of the hate against the breakaway teams is based on the fact that those excluded would have been denied a place at the table, and let's face it, a small part of all of us felt the same way about Chelsea and Citeh leaving us out in the cold when it came to their unlimited investment power.

    Money corrupts, and it's a rare institution these days that takes a moral stand. The santimoniousness of the broadcasters; Premier League; the FA; FIFA and UEFA - along with the other EPL clubs is sickening, TBF. This is a war in which everyone is out for their own financial interests and do not mistake the glee in which the 'victors' here are now circling the wagons against the 'Big 6' should not be taken as a victory for ordinary football fans.

    Keep in mind this is the same KSE who have invested exactly nothing in the club in a decade and a half, removed any oversight from the board, replaced our entire senior executive team with a couple of crooks and then 3 interns, and have generally been utterly absent as the club has slid from the best side in Europe to a mid-table domestic side. These are the people who are now claiming that their big concern was Arsenal not being left behind.

    If we're apologising to all the other clubs I guess it was us driving the train. Supposedly they each put 8 million quid down for a ticket. Estimated journey time was 23 years. Tickets came with 3.5billion cashback offer though, which they were going to use to save football.

    Yeah, but you don't want to make it even worse by seeing our owner left behind in a race for the cash. I think it's commendable he's finally taking an interest in the club. You got to start somewhere. Shame about the communications though. He should have at least thanked us for our interest in his affairs.

    Said the same myself a couple of days ago. But included the fans. We've all watched that cash porn show on Sky with the transfer money clock racing into orbit. The fans buy the shirts stitched by the slave labourers so the players can earn more in a week than those labourers will earn in a lifetime. And the wankers can't even take a corner or stay on their feet for 2 minutes.

    Apparently it's the way the world works and can't be changed. And yet Covid shows the world can be changed, overnight. This is a rare chance to change football too, if the fans can stick together and not be swayed by the bullshit cover stories now being pressed. Doubtful, but it's a very rare opportunity where the conceptual (if not actual) balance of power has shifted for a moment at least.
