These worries about further steps of the rebrand. Surely....

the club should make a clear statement so that people know excatly whats going on. Personally I think they should have done a statement on their intentions before the season tickets were even sold but with rumours becoming stronger and stronger now and the wording on the scarfs handed out didn't mention 'City' then surely the supporters deserve to be told of what the future holds..? Is a statement of intent by the club so hard to do..?

They won't until they feel season ticket sales have reached a certain threshold. Only then will they make their statement. It's a money game after all.
