Just finished listening to this (buckle up, it’s a long one). Fantastic breakdown of the Man City charges, how the corporate structure and holding company web relates NYCFC, and potential downstream impacts to NYCFC. Highly recommend giving this one a listen.

Additional context on potential impacts to NYCFC from Man City. Here is an ownership chart I've obtained, tracing NYCFC and Etihad Park all the way back to the top. The entity in pink, CFG (Midco) Limited, is where Manchester City (and other CFG clubs and operations) are held.

Just dropped a huge episode over in the @nysoccerjournal.com podcast feed @treyfillmore.bsky.social and I rolled up our sleeves to evaluate Manchester City’s financial scandal through an NYCFC lens What did City actually do? How bad is it? And how could this impact NYCFC? Listen anywhere 🎧

James Sands playing right back in the year 2026 is where we’re at, thanks international break. Traoré in for Luighi at the 9, Miazga on the bench available as a sub, big chances for Gustavo and Shore to impress while int’l guys are away

I found this (quite long) article from @aarontimms.bsky.social at the @nyreviewofarch.bsky.social quite compelling surrounding the dichotomy of Etihad Park providing a home for its passionate fanbase and squeezing out every dollar it can. (also, the art is dope)

we in fact have a 6mil dollar option to buy Luighi at the end of the year so while the money for a hat could be better used as an in-kind donation to the Please Keep Luighi We Beg You fund, being the first to start a trend is priceless (this would indeed be sick asl to wear to games)

It will never stop fascinating me that the real live current best player in the world is playing the best soccer MLS will ever see and basically nobody cares

Lionel Messi just had the best season in MLS history. Does anyone care?
The Argentine has been as excellent as ever in his later years, but his presence and performance has yet to push MLS into the US mainstream

Crunched the numbers on how every MLS team has performed this season while playing on 2 or 3 days of rest, across all competitions. No team has more losses on short rest than NYCFC (9), while their 0.94 PPG ranks 26/30 teams. An issue that could prove significant for playoff positioning
