David Lee Departs NYCFC for SKC

[Seth]

Straightforward from here:

1. Patrick Mahomes is part of the Sporting KC ownership group
2. Mahomes is also a teammate of Travis Kelce
3. Kelce is engaged to Taylor Swift
4. Swift has a movie opening and selling out theaters this week only
5. Lee wanted, no needed, tickets for The Official Release Party of a Showgirl.

Dagnabbit, was totally going to go the whole Taylor Swift route but you beat me to it! LOL

It's also possible that Lee hoped to climb the ladder within CFG and things have stalled out for him. Had to take a somewhat lateral move to prove he can be successful outside of the CFG system.

It's a possibility. I mentioned that last night in this thread myself. The sporting department at City has been thoroughly revamped, and just last week they had another big meeting to discuss further restructuring. Lee might not have heard what he was hoping to hear.

But my trusty Occam's Razor tells me it has less to do with the palace intrigue at CFG than David simply getting an offer he couldn't refuse. Big fish in a small pond rather than the other way around. And the blues and BBQ in Kansas City are awesome.

Maybe he thought it would it would be easier to get tickets for the World Cup tixs in Kansas City if he worked for the local soccer team than it will be for MetLife.

The first test of is CFG slow or was David Lee slow will be how quickly they find a successor. Will we have someone before the end of the season to allow them to start lining up moves before camp or will this be dragged out and used as an excuse for limited roster moves pre-camp and in the first window?

Dragged out. When does NYCFC do anything timely?
