hopefully this will end my recent bouts of diarrhea - this is getting exhausting
Lampard Finally Speaks! Interview W/the Times
- Thread starter lostblue
- Start date
Not that many of us really know who or what to believe regarding the situation, but I don't know if you have read the Reyna interview from today on mlssoccer.com. (Link Here)
Supposedly a contract was signed by Lampard yesterday, Jan 8.
Yes, I'm aware of that, but Frank is referring to this past summer in the article when it was first announced. He never signed with NYCFC, just a pre-contract agreement.
So that should be the end of it. He's coming July 1st, end of story.
Unfortunately, that's not the end of the story. We were all deceived by CFG, MCFC, NYCFC, MLS and Lampard. And now Kreis is drinking the Kool-aid hard. I want this to go away too, but don't pass it off like it's not a big deal. It is.
I agree as well. Okay he's coming. We wanted answers. We wanted them to speak up. We got it. Let's take our attention towards Super Draft and filling up the roster.
I am taking solace that although we're not getting what we were promised, or the truth, and although in the end I think everyone we are mad at will skate, Dan is right. I smell squirming, and scrambling. MCFC released their 5 points today with the BS error language, and almost every paper not only called it fraud but said MC "admitted" deception, after MC was careful not to really admit anything. Then MC had to walk back one of the 5 points about a short term contract after the PL said it was illegal. Frankie released a statement, then felt he had to give an interview to further explain himself. Kreis talked. MLS people are giving their own statements. This is the fun part.
Ultimately this is why us fans have to create as big of a shitstorm as possible when it's clear that the FO isn't doing things right. We could have instead accepted everything and they would have kept quiet and waited for it to go away. DONT YOU EVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU NOT TO VOICE YOUR DISCONTENT. Just be nice to fellow forum members 
Do you think he's calm? I couldn't really tell if he was calm. Did he mention whether or not they were calm?
Do you think he was calm when he turned the ball over and saw us out of the 2006 World Cup? It's a cheap shot. But I'm petty like that.
I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
That doesn't change the fact that they lied to us, and are trying to sell it as "Look, we didn't lie about what we did in last July - he signed six months later!"
I even guessed it was Pellegrini that orchestrated it.
Obviously, I got the break clause wrong but how could I know they'd change the story (again!)?
I am with you. I am satisfied with the way this turned out. I understand why people were angry with the deception (I was too), but how more do you want from Lampard, CFG or NYCFC? They basically came clean and Lampard is finally signed. People can stay angry and accept nothing but a full mea culpa from all parties or we can accept this as a learning experience and move on. Life and soccer are too short as it is.Ultimately this is why us fans have to create as big of a shitstorm as possible when it's clear that the FO isn't doing things right.

With that said... fuck this guy:
If is going to be a real New York player, he should have spoken to the correct Times...The New York Times. Or more like the Post. The crazy story seems like it would be on page 6.
Good news: I'm offering a discount to emotionally distressed individuals. All STHs of NYCFC qualify.
He's apologizing to Chelsea fans, not to NYCFC fans. This changes nothing.
Not that his apology were ever necessary for me - he's a footballer and he doesn't owe us anything. The problem remains CFG and its treatment of NYCFC.
