Bad Boys

Peter Reed22 said:That’s just your take. Personally, I think Washington, D.C. showed absolutely nothing—that derby was just another Tuesday for them. People today just crave clickbait; they basically root for others to fail just to feel something. I bet at least 60% of the crowd at the derby were probably watching the game against the Albanians the other day. This whole turnout issue is just a symptom of the beef between the two factions and some seriously incompetent club management. It’s a mess on both sides, whether you want to admit it or not.

Peter Reed22 said:That’s just your take. If you want mine, here it is: Washington, D.C. didn't show anything special. That derby was just another game to them, nothing more, nothing less. People these days are obsessed with clickbait headlines. They actually root for other people's failures just so they can feel a sense of victory. That's just how the world works now.I’m betting at least 60% of the crowd from the derby showed up to the match against the Albanians just a few days ago.The empty seats at the stadium aren't just a coincidence; they’re a direct symptom of the ongoing war between the two main fan factions and the absolute disaster that is the club's management. Whether people want to admit it or not, the blame lies squarely on both sides.

Robin Anderson8 said:Honestly, we have been cycling through ten whole pages of pure trolling now, and you still haven't actually laid out a single concrete proposal or clarified what your endgame truly is! I’m sitting here trying to follow the thread, but I have to ask: what is your actual purpose in this conversation?

I would truly love for you to sit down and share some constructive criticism! Please, tell me exactly what’s bothering you or what specific elements you would overhaul if you had the chance. Rather than just venting or throwing out insults, I’d much prefer a thoughtful breakdown of your perspective—let's turn this into a real conversation!

It is quite obvious that a huge crowd of people heads out to the stadiums—and honestly, they’ll be showing up for the Champions League matches too—and if it were within my power, I would absolutely be right there in the stands with them! But please, let's just drop these kinds of silly arguments once and for all.

what would you even buy, man? you got the cash to grab a majority stake?

Peter Reed22 said:I actually mentioned a few pages back that this whole privatization process is happening right under our noses while we're all distracted by trivial nonsense. Does anyone actually care about who ends up running Los Angeles FC, or does the idea of us owning it together just feel like a pipe dream?

But let's get real for a second—if you were stepping up to the plate, what kind of business would you actually run, and do you even have the kind of capital required to snap up a majority stake in the club?

Honestly, why would a club ever be pushed into a corner where the fans are forced to step in and buy up shares just to stay afloat? There’s almost certainly a way to put an end to this blatant looting of assets, but I suspect nothing is going to change until there is massive, undeniable pressure applied from the outside.

Peter Reed22 said:I already posted a few pages back that they’re carrying out this whole privatization behind our backs while we waste time on things that don't even matter.

Robin Anderson8 said:Why would a club even let things get this bad, where fans actually have to buy up shares just to survive? I guess there’s gotta be some massive public outcry to stop this robbery, otherwise nothing changes.

Looks like you're just trolling. Everything was handled legally, but the government is basically useless and is just ignoring the criminal activity happening within the non-profit organization.

Mamić is under federal investigation, yet he’s just sitting there acting all casual about the group draws... is he even allowed to leave the country?

Peter Reed22 said:and they take the club away from you. That's really the only thing in this whole mess worth hurting over—and it actually hurts.

Paul Young5 said:once something is part of who you are, nobody can take it away from you. Character isn't something you just pick up off the sidewalk; people aren't born with it. Honestly, the hardest part of this whole thing—the part that actually stings—is seeing people claim they feel the same way I do, yet they’re perfectly willing to look the other way. People like you, who only care about the club when you're physically sitting in the stands at the stadium.

Peter Reed22 said:That’s just how you see it. My take? Chicago showed zero grit and treated that derby like any other random Tuesday. People crave those clickbait headlines now—they actually root for others to fail just to feel a win. That's the world we live in. I'd bet my life at least 60% of the crowd at the derby was watching the game against the Albanians a few days ago instead. This drop in attendance is a direct result of the beef between the two factions and pathetic management at the club level. It's a two-way street, whether you want to admit it or not.

Peter Reed22 said:A guy like you would probably love this northern vibe🤔

The bottom line here is that time has just run you guys ragged... you're running out of steam and there's nothing left to fight with, which means you've got no other choice. The club is headed toward privatization soon, turning into just another corporate entity in the world of modern soccer... once the wins start rolling in, the fans will show up, and we'll end up looking exactly like Red Bull Salzburg or Manchester City. Just wonderful, really...
