I think it's pretty clear that Pernetti's plan was never to be here long term. He had a task to get the club established in the NYC market, which I think he has done well. Pernetti was never going to be the guy to push back against CFG because of the Lampard fiasco and for that reason this COULD be a good move. I'm not saying Glick will push back but he is obviously respected within CFG and could be able to sway the other executives from time to time -- IF he is truly looking out for NYCFC's best interests which is his fiduciary duty as the president. On the surface I have no problem with this hiring. Now all 3 CFG clubs have their own CEO/president and if those roles are respected and upheld to the letter of the law then this should be an improvement going forward for NYCFC.
Well assuming Pernetti had this lined up at the beginning of the month the Lampard scenario was presumably irrelevant to him. Of course it was Reyna who put out the statement. Don't really see what the major deal is if he's simply accepted a position within a field closer to his core values. He's given almost 2 years of service there was never any statement that he intended to stay for the rest of his career. Conspiracy theories are boring and in the age of information overload do we really need them on top of everything else?
At worst Glick as the replacement is probably on a par with Pernetti. The encouraging view from others is that this is actually an improvement not just corporate suit for another corporate suit. MCFC obviously did a lot of research hiring him in the first place a few years ago since he didn't come from any major organisation. Also don't many of you see it as a positive sign that Glick has accepted this position? Its hardly being touted as a demotion within CFG is it? Unless he's a complete idiot he's taken on this role for very positive reasons. I stand by a previous statement that the Lampard issue will be seen as a schizophrenic episode in an otherwise sea of positivity. Glick isn't stupid and New York was chosen for a reason. Let that keep being the message to detractors and far more importantly those fans who are still unconvinced.
As for the president position lets have that title corrected. As for the term "president" I personally think it would be more suited to a legendary figure in the history of football. Whether its a day to day position or not having a huge name (Johan Cryuff perhaps or even Maradona if he wasn't more suited to the potential setup in Las Vegas) as president does gain some attention. Look at Cosmos still living off the Pele name though obviously to a far greater extent.
Still I guess its not hugely important what Glick's title is.

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you,franchise646 .
Really - it's not black helicopter stuff. This is something that happens pretty regularly at companies and in politics. Highly politically controversial example here, but in China, the PRC were encouraging/giving benefits to people from the Chinese coast to move to Tibet to drown out some of the dissent in that area.
With the facts I've got available, this seems like a similar sort of move, and it's one I'm uncomfortable with after the lies this club's fed to us to date.
My narrative is that the higher-ups at NYCFC were fighting the good fight against the higher-ups at MCFC. If that's not true, then I'm wrong. But from what I gather and from what I've heard, it's not terribly inaccurate, and this would be a savvy move from MCFC to resolve some of that tension.
I think you will find the differences in opinions between the suits is for you alarmingly small. I also think all are invested in the CFG project. What some here consider big issues for them are just bumps in the road. However, I do believe if Tom said not to do something it would have a great impact than if Tim says or said it. Anyway we will see. I just want to get playing and then we can see where we are in terms of playing staff. Melbourne are three years from challenging based on current progress.
I, for one, am delighted at the prospect of being able to one day return the favor.
Dude, your style of posting is very very similar to another member of this forum. I hope you're not trolling with two accounts.
At least it's a soccer guy. Pernetti leaving kind of disappointing, but if it works out, all good
