Chelsea have issued an official confirmation that they are withdrawing from the Super League project. The statement was brief (just 2 sentences) and did not contain words like 'sorry' or 'apologise'.
Some Chelsea fans have taken an issue with such a dry press release.
dr-murdoch (Reddit): "Need Roman to do a YouTuber style apology video. Messy hair, red eyes, oversized jumper, sitting on the floor..."
Spidey5658 (Reddit): "Disappointed with the lack of an apology. Roman has lost a lot of respect in mine and many eyes of the fans."
Yodagoader (Tribuna.com): "This is the first time I have ever been pleased that Chelsea are exiting a competition early."
alx69 (Reddit): "I know there was a game but did it take them 7 hours to draft this statement?"
No-Common-Sense (Reddit): "Very weak statement and another club from the 'Big Six' to not apologise to its fans. I'm happy we're out of the Super League nonsense but can we really trust our board or Roman if they were willing to put us through this mess, to begin with? Who's to say they're not going to try again in the distant future? We need to be vigilant. I don't think this is over."
