How Do You Think Nyc Fc Would Perform If There Were More To Lose...

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

This argument presupposes that our struggles are due to motivation. I don;t believe that to be the case, the guys play hard, talent level is low though.

I would only support relegation if it went down like this at the end of every season:

Now, it's the first time in the history of Hungarian football, desperate fans of a club in the southern town of Pécs decided to bury football after their team dropped out of the top tier of the national league. [...] They had a digger come into the pitch on the last day of the season to dig a grave and put a coffin in it. [...] "It was a surprise for everybody because a big excavator just entered the field and dug a hole in the middle of the field and they brought a coffin, a cross and they literally and symbolically buried the local football. It was a shocking moment for everybody there, nobody was expecting it."​

Least of all the Yankees.

Suppose MLS operates like most other leagues and relegates the 2 worst teams to NASL...Do you think if they had more to lose they would be under more pressure to perform

Ummmm, they are under pressure to perform. What makes you think otherwise?

They would perform better if they had better players. Nothing else is holding them back.
