No matter what other group had financed a NY franchise they would never ever have invested the amount CFG will over the coming years. It will unimaginable.
What's Worse. Kit Or Lampard?

CFG had the most money at the time and they got it, but to make it happen in New York you need to be loaded.
They, we and you are now loaded. So far we've had over $1.7 billion invested in us from players bought to infrastructure.
NYC hash 't seen that and just got screwed over for the UK team. You can say what you want but we need to be shown something.
You will in time. If MCFC was 100% through the journey with our owners ( of which we are not) the NYCFC is about 0.5% into a similar trip.
Give it a couple of seasons or three and whenever anyone outside the US thinks of the MLS they'll be thinking of NYCFC.
They already are. Our only history is as Man City's wank rag.
Name ONE time since 08 when the Sheikh put any other club's interest before Man City's.

I'm here and we'll see but till then CFG, MCFC and Frank Lampard we not get any break, as of now they don't deserve any.
Wrong. The anger over this issue is not because a player is not playing for NYCFC. It is because we were lied to and told we had signed Lampard and he was on loan, when in reality he was contracted to MCFC the whole time. We were told our interests would not be sacrificed to MCFC, yet here we are.
Until you, and other posters like you, understand that we're upset over PRINCIPLE not over a player we will be arguing about two different issues.
Can we quote you on that and get a refund from you if it isn't true?
Even though I have defended MCFC when I feel it is unfairly criticised this is an NYCFC forum and to be honest the first part of your post is quite offensive. It does no service to fans of both clubs who remain balanced, or at least try to. I never will consider NYCFC to be inferior to any of CFG's teams. Just at a different stage of development. I am looking forward to this development. MLS has huge potential so whose to say, MLS might one day eclipse the EPL. The way NYCFC's fans have been treated over Frank is shambolic. The fact no explanation has also been given is unacceptable. I personally want to hear from all sides inside CFG on this. What was the play by play? Khaldoon, Ferran and Claudio need to come clean on this and MP needs to shut up. This way at least we can get mad over the actual facts. Who made the final call? Citytv can place an interview on the website or at least meet with TR after all they are supposed to be the accepted fan club.
CFG had better get their finger out and get the stadium and remaining DP sorted ASAP. That DP had better be massive.
Who runs the PR?
Our understanding in MAnchester was that the Yankees would do the PR and setup as they know what NY people thrive on.....
Is this not the case?
Either the Yankees fucked up royally and have no idea how soccer works, or Manchester City fucked up royally and has no idea how New York City works.
I don't recall hearing or seeing anywhere that the Yankees would be handling PR and/or marketing.
I hadn't heard that either, but the Yankees have been doing their best to alienate all their fans the past few years too.
It was reported here that CFG would lean heavily on the Yankees due to their long experience in marketing and understanding New Yorkers, as you say, somebody somewhere made a wrong call.
Yeah, its been unimaginable alright, as they steal away 1 of their two marquee signings for the first half of the season.
I certainly can't believe it. It truly is unprecedented.
Well I hope that this mess is resolved in a way that gives the NYCFC fans respect and positivity for their future in the MLS.
I was very excited when the partnership was announced and I am saddened at the damage that has been caused.

Apparently it is Amy Scheer heading a team of 10 in NYC. Shelly Calem is manager of Fan Development. Bet they're all happy at the minute! Dan Steeves is Director Fan Services.
