Thomas Tuchel believes Chelsea won't have any issues rebuilding trust with supports after The Super League saga.
Chelsea controversially decided to become a founding member of the new project, announcing the move on Sunday night, but just 48 hours later they had pulled out.
Intense pressure from supporters, including protests outside Stamford Bridge, led to the Blues making the decision to pull out, along with 10 of the 12 clubs involved, only leaving Barcelona and Real Madrid.
On the back of that, there are big questions over the ownership of clubs and how they are being run, particularly in the Premier League.
But Tuchel doesn't believe it will be such a long road back to forgiveness for Chelsea.
Asked if the club have an uphill task to regain supporters' trust, he said in today's press conference: "No, because I think the people and fans know that it's the credit of the owners to build a strong club in the most competitive league in the world.
"They appreciate that very well and the people can read and can divide things from one another. The fans expressed their opinion, they weren't happy.
"But I don't think it affects their opinion about what the owner does for the community, the women's team, the academy, and for the first team."
Initially, there were no decision-makers coming out to answer questions on The Super League, leaving managers to face criticism, but each of the six clubs, including Chelsea, have since released statements, while Josh Kroenke and Vinai Ventakesham joined Arsenal supporters at a fans' forum to answer questions yesterday.
But Tuchel doesn't feel he is due an apology for having to face the criticism first, adding: "Nobody needs to apologise (to me). I haven't spoken to the owner since I arrived.
"I've spoken to the club before and after the match. I was told we were pulling out and that was all I needed to prepare for the next match against West Ham."
Asked whether the saga was distracting for him and his players, he added: "It's the owner's club, it's not my club. I am part of the club.
"It's the club's decision and now they've changed. So there's no need to apologise to me. We were distracted, yeah, because otherwise, it wouldn't have made sense to focus on games.
"Me, personally, I arrived in a state of mind on Tuesday with not the usual mindset I arrive for a match. It's in the past now. Like I said, I don't think they need to apologise to me."
