Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te tīmatanga o te 20 o nga tau o Major League Soccer e kore e taea te haere wawe mo te mea hou, a, ko te mea tino nui rawa atu, ko te mema. Mai i te whakapuakitanga a Manchester City ka awhina a NYCFC ki te hanga i te peka o Amerika o te rangatiratanga o te Kotahi o te Kotahi o te Kotahi (CFG), he nui nga feaa o te feaa i runga i te Big Apple me tua atu. I te wā e whai wāhi ana tētahi tangata pēnei i a Sheikh Mansour, e tata ana ki te £20 piriona tōna rawa whaiaro, ki tētahi kaupapa hākinakina, he mea maori te whakaaro ka tere haere te nui o ngā whakapaunga. E tūmanakohia ana kia tīmata a David Villa i tana whakataetae MLS ki a Orlando City FC i te Rātapu mō New York City. Ka whai wāhi a New York City ki waho o te papa me ngā kirimana whetū me te pānuitanga kaha ki te hoko tūru. I muri i nga mea katoa, kaore he umanga i runga i te ao whutupaoro e whai ana i te ahua o te hanganga CFG kua ngana ki te hanga. I hokona te kapa Yokohama F-Marinos i te marama o Mei o te tau kua hipa, i te wā e whai hua ana te kapa Melbourne City i te hononga ki Abu Dhabi. Ko te kaiwhakahaere o NYCFC a Jason Kreis me tana tira i whai wā ki te whakapā atu ki a Manuel Pellegrini i te marama kua hipa. He whai wāhitanga tino nui, kāore e taea e ētahi atu. Heoi anō, kāore te MLS i te whakahaere pēnei i te Barclays Pirimia Pirimia, i tētahi atu wāhi rānei. Ko te whakangao £1.2 piriona a te Sheik i Manchester e kore e whakahoutia i konei. Na te kaha, ā, i ētahi wā he uaua te hinengaro, he ture e whakarite ana kia kaua e nui ake te whakapaunga i ngā aratohu tino kaha, kāore a NYCFC i kaha ki te tirotiro i te ao, ki te kawe mai i ngā whetū nui ki Manhattan. I hohoro a Kreis i kawea mai e te kaitakawaenga o mua o te taone nui a Claudio Reyna, ko ia nei te kaiwhakahaere hakinakina o te karapu. E wha tekau ma rua nga tau o Kreis e tino paingia ana i te US i muri i te whakamiharo o te whitu tau ki a Real Salt Lake City i reira i toa ai ia i te MLS Cup i te tau 2009. I te mea kei New York City te pūtake o te raihana, he wāhi e haere mai ai ngā ingoa nunui ki te tākaro, i tino mōhio nga tangata moni i te Middle East he pēhea te hira o te whakaongaonga ki te tēpu. Kaiwhakahaere NYCFC...
Ka tīmata te pakanga MLS o New York City i te Rātapu ki Orlando City. Kua pāngia e te NYCFC te mātauranga o Manuel Pellegrini i mua. Ko ngā kirimana nui a David Villa rāua ko Frank Lampard kua āwhina ki te hoko tīkiti.
