Hey folks, happy almost 2025. It is Scott with StreamPunk Soccer, and I'm going to do a little rumor mongering here

Right now, about five weeks remain until the start of the friendlies for the New York City Football Club
0:11
Their first friendly will be on February 5th against Sporting KC, but right now, so far, there has not been an announcement of the new head coach
0:19
It's kind of been my belief that the head coach has already been long since decided, but sworn to secrecy, I had guessed, until maybe the new year
0:26
but the team pretty much knew, the players really kind of knew. And curiously enough, a note came into my Twitter feed after I posted something about that
0:34
and the name Dez Buckingham popped up. The rationale being that a lot of the players you can see are already following him right now
0:42
as is the club as a whole. So this does raise the question, is it Dez Buckingham and fans of New York City Football Club
0:49
Are you okay with it? This is someone who was unceremoniously sacked by Oxford United a couple weeks back
0:53
The fans over in Oxford are very clearly upset about this. But I wanted to see how you feel about it
0:59
Is this 36-year-old somebody that you think would be beneficial to the franchise
1:04
And if it not him who would you still want it to be Rumors existed that it might still be Jim Curtin There a couple other options on the table I know some of the fans had wanted Ronnie Dyla who went down to Hotlanta
1:14
But would you be okay with this? You know, these are his stats
1:18
These are his numbers. I can live with it. You know, I'd be willing to give a guy like this a shot right now
1:23
You know, I was kind of supportive of Nick Cushing, but I know that a lot of the fans
1:27
weren't, and I respect that opinion. I understand that opinion. You know, I think he should have deserved another year
1:32
but given the circumstance of the way we are and the way they bowed out against RBI and why
1:37
I understand the decision to let Cushing go. But, is Des Buckingham the answer
1:43
You know, is he somebody that you'd be happy with? Let me know in the comments down there. And since Buckingham spent some time down in New Zealand
1:49
I do have to ask the question, did he ever spend any time at Tau Mothera Tangi Hanga Kuao Wow Teapuripu Kaka Pibi Maunga Honoko Pukai Wana Akitanata
1:59
That was my first try on that, that's what I'm going to go with here. But anyway, let me know in the comments what you think
2:04
Take care. Have a great New Year. Happy 2025. As always, stay awesome
