What if, now bare with me here this is a totally unique concept, MC and it's pilots don't give a flyn F what the public thinks? But rather act in their own best interests... I know insane thought sorry.

MC can do as they please, as always. It's just amusing how faux-surprised they were when no one wanted them in this war aside thier good old buddies, BoB. No kidding they're going to side with them in Eve's largest war yet. No one offered them squat so that leaves them with 2 options, sit there and do nothing and risk losing their home if BoB falls leaving their rented space under new management or they help BoB because they know their own home is at stake as well. If you ask me, BoB shouldn't have payed MC a dime, it's not as if it's not in MC's interest to protect their already attacked space.
BoB, unless you guys payed MC in hugs and good-will, you got ripped off. MC needs you just as much as you need them.

Well this entirely depends on whether MC are mercenaries or not.....
If they are not, then correct. They don't need to give a flyin' F about what the public thinks.
However, if they are mercenaries then they need to project an image. An image that MC has been cultivating very carefully for at the last two years via videos, forum threads, battle reports, tailored signatures etc.. etc.. etc.... MC have projected a carefully coiffured image onto the EVE-O forums and for a good while they had us all eating out of the palm of their hands.
This big war has changed all that... nobody is buying the "MC image" anymore or at least those that do are limited to immediate allies (FIX, BoB and maybe their other "mercenary" pals Executive Outcomes).. thats not a very large pool of employers really is it?
So either MC are mercenaries and by default have to care about what *we* think about them... or they are not mercenaries and you are correct.
My money is on you being correct.

Are we all assuming that the coalition actually want MC. From what i have seen, most people saw the MC to be on BOB side even before they were officially hired. And would really prefer to crush MC along with BOB. And it was pretty obvious that MC had set an impossible price to turn against their masters. Really who else could have offered them a cushy seat in the middle of what was/is the biggest most powerful alliance ingame.
The MC wouldn't take a contract vs BOB until it was obvious that BOB were in decline and another alliance had taken their top spot. And whatever people may think about how strong the coalition is, in the minds of MC/BOB they are still the strongest alliance/coalition/whatever ingame.

How about calling MC privateers instead?
