Disappointing for sure. But I'm a NYCFC fan, not just a Lampard fan. It's not the end of the world.
Just hope this doesn't set the precedent for future things like this to happen, or our team will become a joke.
 
Hopefully we had a good NYC lawyer write up his contract so there is some kind of benefit for us.
Hope it wasn't one of those british guys with the halloween wigs

The one way to make this shit worse would be sending him here after the EPL season. That would ensure he was forever unliked. I'd rather him never come if that's when we get him.

If they did something like send him here on that timeline, it would be the most humiliating start imaginable. It would be a massive insult to us and the entire league, confirming that we are truly a scheme for subverting FFP. Even if they didn't have that intention, if that's how they use this club, what is the difference?

Spoiler: there wont be one difference. I don't know if this will happen, but it's absurd that there is this level of mystery surrounding it. CFG can blame themselves, and themselves alone. If NYC weren't treated like a joke by them, we wouldn't be a punchline in the media. Regardless of the decision made, ownership deserves derision for their behavior and the PR-statements-cum-lies-and-half-truths that they themselves created.
 
You are right and I am a bigger fan of the name on the front than the name on the back but this sets an AWFUL precedent
Oh no doubt. This can't just continue to happen. As long as this is a segregated instance it won't matter in the long run.
 
On the plus side, maybe there will be (or already has been) some efforts to compensate for this bad news. Let's see what happens next. Glass half full (or in tonight's case, very full of some hard stuff).

Well fuck. That's one way to make 10 minutes of my life utterly pointless.

Fuck all of them. Somebody dig up my quotes form before I decided to give him a chance.

And dig up all of the shit from these Mancs swearing how happy we'd be and how he'd be here to begin the season.

Fuck CFG IN THE FUCKING FACE
 
You guys crack me up Lampard stays at City for the season and you are surprised. Really?? He is needed by the MCFC, flagship of the CFG i.e. City Financial Group not Citeh Financial Group as some on here would prefer it to be called. He will be with you eventually and will hopefully be a great asset to the City empire. Best of luck for the new season.
 
Not really a surprise. I think booing him when he gets here is a bad idea. I understand the disappointment but we need to support the team on the pitch.

That said we should hope the team never engages in these kind of arrangements ever again.

Most of us are fans of NYCFC, not CFG.
