Pellegrini said: "I think Frank is a very important player for us and I hope we will not have any problems for him to stay here.
"I hope we can have a decision as soon as possible."
"He has a loan just until the end of December and there is another club involved. The MLS is involved also.
"There are a lot of parties with an arrangement. It's not just depending on one opinion.
"If he can finish the year here, better - but I think that the MLS is a very important league also and I think that Frank Lampard will be very happy in the United States."
The whole quote does make it sound a bit better, especially the last part.Here's the entire Pellegrini quote from the original BBC article.

Yeah. I'm sure @PandaRaf didn't intentionally omit the rest of the quote but I thought it would only be fair to point out that there's more to it.The whole quote does make it sound a bit better, especially the last part.
To be honest the guys behind the TR have been following the club since day 1 and frankly I'm getting a little tired of this site being used to shit on them and giving us a reputation of one that we don't support TR and so on. If you have a beef take it up with them. Please don't make it my problem.
how exactly would that solve anything? You really think ownership would change their plans for a few upset people burning already paid for shirts?A few MCFC jersey burnings will solve this right quick....
Yes. Exactly. If you're upset then do something. Cancel your season tickets. Don't go to matches. Don't support the club. Burn your gear. Riot in the streets. Call the team and complain. Shut them down online.If you are upset, and you should be, why whine about what the TR should do? Get together and do something about it.
I deleted this. Not because I don't mean it, but if it causes you trouble, then that sucks. I do think that fact just makes the point I was making even further, but since I like you, I'm deleting.
So don't get verbally gangbanged by any supporter clubs on my account.
Oh he said end of the year, not end of the season.
That's a very important difference.
Good to know. But there are some actions we know were induced by the club via the supporter's club. Now, they might have been the right decisions. That will be determined in the future. I shouldn't imply it's a puppet. It's more accurate to say it's a bit impotent.It's not causing me trouble. However the views expressed here represent the site and a large portion of our members belong to TR as well. When people make accusations that I know for a fact are not true I do have a problem with that.
There is a reason the majority of board members don't post here and their section is entirely inactive. I can tell you for a fact due being involved with the club from the beginning that TR is not 'a puppet organization.' They just made the most noise early on. It didn't happen over night but just about all the guys that followed NYCFC from the beginning got together and helped form TR which at the time was just a NYCFC Supporters Twitter and the NYCFC Supporters Facebook page (the big one everyone cries on now) and evolved from there. If you weren't following along back then you would have missed all this but the SC started out very small and grew once they got all their legal stuff done (non profit and such) and the club gave them support.
I've spoken with Mike Quarino before TR and after TR and the talk was much the same. At about the time we had the big QA with all the supporters and club reps at I think it was Nevada Smiths? They didn't even know TR (who wasn't TR at that point) and us were different in any way. So if it was something NYCFC built then I'm sure they'd be well aware the forums were not part of the picture.
I even have an email from Reyna CC'ing Mike Q in which he says 'give them whatever they need.' I don't need anything but they realize anything that's here to help build and promote the club is important for their growth and success and they need to back it until the club takes the field and is self sustaining through results.
Also I didn't say don't bitch about TR. Bitch away all you want. I just know the conspiracy theories are nothing more than conspiracies.
