It's possible. However, judging by the amount of reports I just went through I don't think anything of true value was lost.
Hey, Lampard is the best. We are all lucky to have him even if for one game. Just ask any Manc blue who understands proper supporter culture and they'll tell us how we are just now going to learn what true value is. For sure, don't ask us who show up all the time and leave disappointed and hoarse due to our unmitigated support and our club's undemonstrated commitment to building a solid squad. (I know we agree about the FF fiasco, and I agree about this argument regarding fault being tired as well, particularly when the opposing side is nothing but circuitous and self-conflicting logic, I'd, "hey, you're little brother, we control you - but it's your fault!" That can and does fuck itself. )
It's impossible to follow the mental gymnastics of folks blaming NYC. Do we really think it's more plausible that NYC and all of MLS arranged a fake signing where they pretended to sign Frank and were able keep it quiet for months than it is that CFG decided to fix the paperwork to fit their desires and Frank played along, with them agreeing to take the heat? I know what I believe.
But that's just me. I can't prove me right. And no one can prove me wrong. But I can continue to view the whole club management / front office of either and/or both of CFG/NYC as a shit show while I still support the team.
Dear God. Cognitive dissonance knows no bounds to the lengths it is willing to go to impede folk's reason.
(This entire post isn't really a response to you or your post, so much as it is truly a reply to the ongoing general conversation - and I have most MCFC people blocked. )
The argument of not barring posters/posts due to other affiliations is valid. But it's equally valid that shared ownership doesn't excuse us NYC folks from being pissed off at the club who took a player that would quite specifically fill a massive need under the most extremely suspicious circumstances I've ever seen.
The same final owner writing the underlying check is not a valid argument for giving one side more leeway. So long as the justification for an opinion is it being best for CFG or anything other than the results of NYC, it has no business on an NYC board in any place other than the troll vanishing pool.
