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 🎧

Interesting response from Malachi Jones today on how playing with Nico Fernandez Mercau at the 10 vs the 9 impacts Malachi's role and how he wants to play. Noted the opportunity to now stay wide and take fullbacks one-on-one vs having to fill in centrally.

To the extent MLS plays a role in whatever's holding the USMNT back it's that it doesn't do a good enough job of gaining broader cultural purchase.

It's 15 minutes to kick-off of the first MLS game in 2 months, the first since the start of this hugely successful World Cup. There is no pregame show. There is no scene-set that explains the first half of the season. There is nothing to welcome new viewers and connect the league to the past month.
