Do you still believe my comment regarding Villa was snide?
Yes.

Fair play mate for coming on here, it took some balls to do that considering how your name gets brought up - myself included at times. I'll probably give your forums another whack as I did enjoy myself for the most part and at the end of the day we all have common goals on the NYC forum, that we win!
I think most of us just need to start again and draw a line under most of this stuff. Both sides have done stuff wrong and to continue arguing isn't going to get us anywhere.
Thank you. I agree. The fault for the animosity, as real as it is and probably deserves to be, is due mostly to bungled efforts to obfuscate truths. If everything had been treated transparently and revealed to us NYC folks at the time, it would have diminished the fears many of us had.
Instead, it was all done in the worst possible manner from our perspective.
As I've said, you folk should always want what is best for your team. We NYC folk, whatever criticism you want to levy, will want the same. When we react poorly to it, we get criticism from you. If we roll over, we get criticism every where else.
What can we do? We, or at least me for sure, are the day 1 ticket holders. We get shit from every corner of the soccer world. So when Dan has an arguably short fuse over our supposed family bashing us, it comes from his heart being in the right place. (Edited: Dan actually doesn't like me so much as far I can tell, so he has no bearing on what I post here or there and my compliments to him are genuine and sincere.)
We're already the most hated club in MLS. It would be nice to have some more folks cover our backs rather than make us all fight on yet another front.
Again, respect to MCFC. You boys have seen it all. When us fans of the new club are mad, it isn't at you wanting the best for your team. It is because we would prefer ownership act in the best interest of our club.
At some point, it will (or may - we can't know) be a more delicate balance than today. I hope you are never left feeling like we did. Good will and best of luck to all of you.
