Sorry seems to be the hardest word

After Sunday's events, Fat Mike has now released a statement to the press in which he apologises for the mistakes made in recent times.

This is in stark contrast to the statement released by Llambiarse on Sunday which sought to display empathy. He may feel "sorry for the supporters" but it's telling that he singularly failed to take any responsibility for our failings.

Something Ashley's statement appears to at least correct.

The question, of course, is whether this expression of contrition is the beginning of a new period of honesty and openness from the club's hierarchy, or a sop to try and appease the supporters?
