    2024 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread

    Was not my intention to loop you in on the "clueless" comment, which was unduly harsh to begin with considering no one is getting paid to be there. I think you're the best reporter currently covering the team, and to do it from afar is truly impressive. Sorry for my offensive remark.

    2024 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread

    We learned about it before the Atlanta game. The question should have been asked in that postgame press conference. Which answer was more likely to make news? A question about an early-season game, or a question about where Jovan was and why he wasn't with them? Why was he able to be here until...

    There is no political leader in the country that wouldn't take advantage of a ceremonial photo-op situation like this and sign it publicly. For the record, it's exactly what he should do. This is a celebration, and he has every right to host it.

    For me, it's not finally official and fully final until shovels are in the ground.

    It's absolutely atrocious. That should have been the first question asked two weeks ago. These guys are clueless.

    Guess The Attendance 2024 - NYCFC vs. Atlanta (April 6)

    They come out the night of the match. I receive them every time so I'll try to report it when I get it.

    From the team's postgame media notes:

    MLS - April 13 - New England (Home - YS)

    That is a fair long-term concern. But at this point, I don't care how we get points. I just want to see us collect some points and move up the ladder. Hopefully winning can beget winning. My hope is that our biggest challenge right now is mental. And if we can go 3-0-1 over the next four...

    I don't think we've fully understood that this thing is being approved by the mayor tomorrow. After all these years, all the waiting ... it gets approved tomorrow. Pretty surreal.

    Well yes -- our goal prevention has been solid because of Freese is probably what I should have said there. The defense in front of him has been leaky and disorganized, which is probably much worse than they expected.

    I think this has a lot of merit. Cushing knows he's in trouble, and there's no way he's putting his fate in the hands of two 18 year olds.

    I think they expected Wolf to be a major contributor. He's been good so far, so jury's out. I think they expected (or hoped for) a breakout season from Santi. So far I think that one may happen -- he looks primed for it. I think they hoped Bakrar would lead the line and score 10+ goals. So far...

    MLS - April 13 - New England (Home - YS)

    I think if we lose against New England, it is very possible he gets fired. But I also think unless the results dramatically change, he's getting fired at the end of the homestand.

    I'll be honest, I don't think the organization thought we'd be bad this year. I think they expected this to be a rebound season. If they expected the team to be good this year, and we're still something like 3-5-3 after this homestand, I think they're going to make a coaching change.

    Also speaks to how much groundwork the team was doing behind the scenes on this to engender support in the community and among politicians.

    Guess The Attendance 2024 - NYCFC vs. Atlanta (April 6)

    Yeah that number was listed by the team. It was packed in Citi Field on the lower level. Really impressive attendance for a cold night in April.

    The Outfield

    What are the analytics saying about our start? Is there reason to believe we're going to improve, or are we regressing from the end of last year? Is there any way to look at the impact of coaching on our start?

    I hope you're right. I've been on your side for a while. It just seems like, at this point, he's gotten so much time to prove it that we should have already been seeing it. The team wasn't good enough last year, but they are good enough now. I want Nick to succeed here. He seems like a good...

    2024 Season Ticket Thread (This Season!)

    Non-resale tickets behind the goal for the Miami game are going for $311. I paid $600 for my 9-game half-season plan, which includes the Miami game. Incredible what the team is charging for this game. Imagine if Messi doesn't play and people couldn't get in the door for under $200. The cheapest...
