Nobody cares.
NYCFC are a child club in a parent group. They have no history at all - I don't mean that sarcastically like the scousers, I mean it literally like in the human perception of time and space they are yet to exist as a football team.
They don't have any "true fans". They don't even have any fans. You cannot be a fan of a brand or a fan of a future possibility. This is like me coming on here and saying I'm a massive fan of Damo Jnr and we should put him up front next week - he doesn't even exist as a football player and having the possibility of him existing at some point makes me undying support for him as legitimate as your undying support of NYCFC. It's also like when somebody tells me that City promised to give a new pair of footy boots to Damocles Jnr but instead gave them to Marcos Lopes, I can't really kick off about it. One of them is somebody who potentially exists in the future as a footballer and one of them is an important youth prospect who has real feet that need real boots.
NYCFC "fans" are the laughing stock of the football world because they're supporting a hypothetical brand. They actively decided to stop supporting whichever club they supported before and instead decided to follow a new brand that has never played the game. All of this talk of "sticking through the team with thick or thin" is absolutely hilarious to outsiders. There is no thick or thin. There is no medium, climbing mountains, falling into depths of despair, or anything else. There is just nothing. A better phrase is "we should stick with the potential team that might exist soon through nothing and nothing as we have done in the present and have a long present of doing in our collective present".
It's hilarious, it really is. "We don't need Manchester Cuty to create our community, we've done it without them". They sound like a teenager dressed in black eyeliner sat in their room listening to Slayer on the CD player that their parents bought them, wearing the clothes that their parents bought them, sat in the room that their parents give them heated by gas which their parents pay for saying "I hate my parents, they do nothing for me". YOU WOULDN'T EXIST WITHOUT THEM.
NYCFC is Manchester City(New York branch) for the time being and until the MLS becomes relevant in terms of commercial opportunities and revenues. You were a club setup, notice I didn't say bought because that would mean you pre-existed, expressly by Manchester City for the benefits of Manchester City. I'm sorry that reality has hit you lot this hard but it's all you are and all you will be for the foreseeable future. Whether you like it or not you have no separate identity, you have the identity assigned to you by Manchester City. You have no separate culture, you have the culture assigned to you by Manchester City. You have no separate players, you have the players assigned to you by Manchester City.
Welcome to reality.
Wow bro, where does one even begin to reply to this!? I mean you started off on the right track ("NYCFC are a child club in a parent group") and then you just went straight to abyss. If you truly are moderator of this forum, at least please stop moderating under influence because you spit a lot of bu**hit !
Lets clear something up from the start however. When in doubt - follow the money! Why was MCFC club chosen by Sheikh Mansour when ADUG started to invest and diversify their oil wealth? They wanted biggest bang for their $$$ of course. They could've successfully invested in many other european clubs and leagues but all taken into consideration, no other PL club would create such a dramatic rivalry as Man City could in the vicinity of the scum. So stop swinging your d**k like that and be happy that you support the club with owners that take great care of fans, local community and long-term well being of the club. In the end it's all about profits for them.
Lampard situation: this whole ordeal with Frank staying until end of season simply means that
MCFC is very desperate to do whatever to keep aging but experienced and true professional player while Yaya is off to African Cup after spending all those millions to create depth in every position and supposed holistic approach. In order to keep any chance at the title and hopeful progress in CL, MCFC had no other choice but to take away unique Christmas toy from his little baby brother club which was promised to him by our parents. All that means is that our mutual owners used the calculator and decided that in current situation, it would be potentially more profitable for City to keep Frank at the cost of making complete mockery out of NYCFC and MLS!
And finally, your view on NYCFC "fans" is despicable and just horrible. With your logic, there were Blues supporting MCFC before universe was formed. FFS! I am one of those NYCFC fans and I am offended by your statements (but somehow I doubt you give 2shits about it tho). I got my inaugural season tickets with my buddies and was looking forward being part of history built around two legends. So much for that...
