It does kind of surprise me, they didn't seem that bad on the field.. they're much more disorganised on the administrative stuff then they are on the game side of things

Quote:
“I expected us to beat Harrisburg...And our payroll is twice that of Pittsburgh.”


-Doug Petersen FCNY President

I'm gonna say it and I'm not taking it back--
The above statements have pretty much convinced me that Peterson is about two vowels short of even beginning to having a "clue".

Unrealistic ambition or arrogance? Either way, not a great flag to be flying for an expansion club.

Harrisburg is solid. Does he know of the club's recent history. They have some guys who can play. With more pro experience than a lot of guys signed by FCNY.

Pittsburgh has some guys who can play.

R-E-A-L-I-T-Y C-H-E-C-K.

Hey Mr. Peterson: What do the above letters spell???

yeah not a good sign. The Chelsea/Man City syndrome.. just because you pay the most money, have some of the better talent doesn't mean you have the best team.. to paraphrase Yogi Berra 50% of the game is 99% chemistry. Harrisburg might not have the most talented team, but they've all played together for a good while now.. as for New Yawk.. they're an expansion team plain and simple. (One that needs smarter financial peeps from the sound of things!

As I posted elsewhere, the FCNY coach resigns after going to the fleabags and seeing waffle....

Or is that another conspiracy theory ?
