Should he have said maybe "we are open for business" or something to that effect? Probably. But what exactly do fans want him to say?
Well he would have been better saying nothing.
It was a bubbling mess that didn't inspire confidence. I found the fact he said re-build and then corrected himself funny, but it also rightly showed the silliness of the org to avoid the word publicly.
And it could also have been interpreted to be a sign that the organization still lacks decisive direction.

It wasn't a clear or confident message.

So that left everyone to interpret it in their own way.

Just an unforced error. Ultimately I don't take much from it. I just think it was a mess and really poorly done.
