CLT FC should have been Raleigh FC

[Panthers Fan 69]

We would have had winner under Dundon and fat ass Tepper wouldnt have his greedy weak leadership paws in this young team.

Glad to see you're back to making terrible threads

If they had been Raleigh FC, I  would've been spared the trouble of watching them.

Averaging the second most fans per match at 35k yeah seems like they made the right choice.  No one cares about Raleigh my guy.

It was more of a statement made so we could have had Dundon as the owner Vs Tepper. Plus we would have built a pretty big stadium downtown. Oh well.

You talk about Tepper’s greed but Dundon literally made his money by being a slumlord. He bought low-income family’s automobile loans, mortgages, and health care bills for pennies on the dollar and then jacked up interest rates. Let us also not forget him buying a football league pretending to the savior, took their proprietary technology, and then folded the league and attempted to not pay the players or employees their due wages. 
 

He also isn’t some mastermind behind team building. The Canes were dreadful for years and got to pick up a lot of prospects that have turned into quality players now. He bought the team at the tail end of the rebuild. Meanwhile the Panthers had the oldest roster in the league and a franchise QB whose arm died on them. 
 

Finally, can we stop pretending like the Hurricanes have this unbelievable die hard fan base? From 2014-2019 they had bottom five attendance (with nothing else to do in the town) and that included two dead last seasons. They’re like every other fan base in that they show up when the team is performing well. 
 

This pretend rivalry is so tiresome because no one here actually thinks about Raleigh.

I disagree with you but you are entitled to your opinion.

Steve Malik tried to get the MLS to Raleigh but Tepper has bigger pockets.

Raleigh has North Carolina FC and the Courage. Maybe go support those local teams. NCFC was trying to get the bid but money and ready to go stadium will always win out

Maybe I go to both at Wake Med Soccer park in Cary all the time bud. 
 

All NC sports team under Tepper has shown to be a failure so far. Im hopeful that can change.
