This Frank Lampard shit is insane lmao

This is football shit btw. But basically Frank Lampard left Chelsea at the end of last season to come play for New York City FC (in MLS) at the start of the 2015/2016 season.

Since the season was so far away he needed a place to keep playing to keep fit in the mean time, so he got loaned out to... Manchester City lmfao. The club who beat Chelsea out for the league title

Also another club who was basically nothing until they got bought out by some oil folks

So Lamps plays for City and scores his first goal against Chelsea , and as far as anyone can see everything's good. He's still on his way to MLS come winter-ish.

But Lamps, even in his old age (dude's like 3, is still quality and has become a super sub for City. He scores saving goals - wins matches and equalises. City's now almost at the top of the table.

Ugh that was 38*

City's actually only second on the table because of alphabetical order. They literally match Chelsea in everything. Wins, draws, losses, goals scored - everything.

ANYWAY

Winter rolls around and ManCity asks for a loan extension to keep Lamps until the end of the 2014/2015 season lmfao.

NYCFC fans were pissed and rightfully so. They were promised Frank Lampard for the 2015/2016 season which starts in March. So he'd only be missing a few months. No biggie... Right?

Turns out NYCFC never even signed Lampard.

They sold season tickets with the promise of him being a player, sold his jersey... Didn't even actually sign him.

I'm like completely blown away by this lmao

David Villa (who also plays for ManCity) was supposed to go to NYCFC, too, so people are freaking out.

Frank Lampard saga: Manchester City have “no agreement with...

Like how does a club do that? How do you get away with doing that to your fans? I can't help but laugh because it's all so ridiculous and awful

People gave you their money because they were promised Lampard and you didn't even actually sign him
