2015 Offseason Megathread

Hmmmm

http://www.metrosoccernation.com/former-director-of-football-franco-baldini-linked-with-nycfc/

The report is empty speculation.

According to Tutto Mercato Web, Franco Baldini, the former Director of Football for A.S. Roma and Tottenham Hotspur, is interested in taking on a new challenge in America. While the Italian media outlet indicated that Inter Milan had reached out to him, Baldini may be in negotiations with City Football Group about a possible role with NYCFC.

And translated from the primary source:

Baldini was probed by Inter, but preferred to take time. The next company Franco Baldini could be New York City, from June.

I wouldn't put much stock into this.

Ned was a player who tried hard for NYCFC. He did nothing wrong. These ill wishes are misplaced - I don't need to say from whom.

When a player tries hard for the club and then moves on in his career, I wish him well. I wish that for Ned, Jeb, Kwame, Angelino, Shay, etc.

When he returns I will applaud him as I would any other returning NYCFC player. And if we want to be a class fanbase I hope others will do the same. He wasn't an asshole to us. We shouldn't be so to him.

Kreis, though. We can boo the fuck out of him, right?

 

[Midas Mulligan]

ok dad.

what about JK?

Should have know you'd beaten me to this. I haven't had any time to fuck around on here lately. Enjoying a night cap and some posting while the wife is in bed, tonight. I find it more difficult to be awesome when I'm 2 days behind reading the board.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

Sorry to play the conscience card.

As for JK, I do think his case is different than Ned's. While I think he had the best intentions and worked hard for NYCFC, he also regularly threw players under the bus (what JK supporters would describe as appropriately calling out). I think it was poor leadership. He regularly deflected blame away from himself. I don't like that.

But I also wouldn't boo him when he comes back unless he says other inflammatory stuff between now and then. He was NYCFC. He tried for us. I won't cheer him, as I thought he was an ass to the team. But I won't boo him.

That's my moral compass. Everyone else's may be different.

Shit yeah, it is. I prefer to think of my moral compass as more of a gyroscope.

Anyone who didn't give Poku more minutes can be booed. That includes Grabavoy for being on the field instead of Poku. Poku Powar!!!

Did anyone else notice Viera started today? I'm already expecting good things for him from day one. Get to work PV! I want an MLS Cup!!! (Or atleast a Playoff berth...)

Surprised we haven't heard a few #SackVieira #ByeByeVieira or #NoPVforMe today

Legitimate goal this year is to make the playoffs.

Advancement would be a success.

I would love to see a US Open run. A deep one.

Getting info on the latest deals on ticket packages, 20% discounts in the team shop and Mix's favorite color? Sure!

Trying to get an answer to a simple question via tweets/emails seeking any possible information regarding the pre-season schedule? Not so much.

Without Kreis, there is no Poku...

I think a legitimate goal right now is to get a full squad again.

No shit

[gbservis]

Hoping we get some signings or other news this week with the FO back to work.

Look under the door of the stall to figure out if those are his shoes. It's a great place to think.

Pics of someone thinking deeply about Poku could get mistaken for porn.

hell no, Kries tried to trade Poku away and gave Poku's minutes to NG which stands for No Good!
Kries fan or NYCFC fan, pick one, but you can't be both

Closing this one up and we can move discussion to 2016 preseason thread.
All big threads must come to an end eventually. I'm usually the ones that does it and catches flak while Falastur and einwindir avoid conflict.

You talk as if we don't plan it that way...
