Look, we all know the controversy surrounding what Mike Digiulio has said about SFD. But let’s set that to a side for a second. Let’s look at league finishes by season and points totals(keep in mind that we switched managers last season and the general sentiment I could gather was they hoped the change would propel them over the line; also I am only talking about league play here, not cups).

• 2022 - 1st season under Frank Yallop: 12-4-18; 40 points; 11th place finish; missed the playoffs

• 2023 - 2nd season under Frank Yallop: 11-8-15; 41 points; 11th place finish; missed playoffs

• 2024 - 3rd season under Frank Yallop(21 matches): 7-5-9; was relieved of duties on 26 points - Jordan Stewart appointed for final 13 matches: 1-5-7; 8 points; Total 34 points combined between the two managers; 8-10-16 combined record; 11th place finish(again)

• 4th season SO FAR with Stewart now at the helm with a full season in front of him: 6-5-10; 23 points; currently sit in 10th

Since MBFC has come into the the league the all time club record is 31-22-49.

We’re not even CLOSE to being at .500 as a club.

And again, we changed managers last season to shake things up last season in hopes of making the playoffs. And now, with a fresh start and a full season ahead of Stewart to do what he wants, here we are again.

But what has the one constant always been in all of this? Take a guess.

Yup, it’s Mike Digiulio. And so I have come to the conclusion that, if we miss the playoffs this season, h what’s got to go.

Of course, he should he’s been gone before and we all know why.

The other aspect of this is Ray. Dude, DO SOMETHING! If you want any chance for this to be successful, you have to not be cheap and so why you have to do.

I really fear for the sustainability of the club at this point in time. There’s only so many new fans you can get through the door.

That’s my rant. Thank you for coming.

Opened my email today and this is what I received who’s responsible of this, things don’t look good in the field with team struggling and trying to make playoffs, and know this they can’t get things right when giving out game day information, they should fire that person

I'm from the Bay Area but I'm just a fan of soccer and would one day like to make it out to a game if I ever go to Monterey. I don't know much about the product or how good the team is. It seems like a good soccer town but the games I've seen on tv it doesn't look like many people are there and I heard people say its expensive.

I go to Oakland Roots games but they're also expensive and they aren't getting many fans at the Coliseum. It definitely is a small demography of the bay that goes and there's probably better things to do on a weekend. If I lived in Monterey I'd probably go to a lot of games just to do something. I actually really like pro teams that go under the radar and aren't huge like the NBA, NFL, or MLB.

It’s been running through my mind these last couple of games what am i going to do with my 20% back. Just wanted to see if yall had some ideas maybe a few beers at brass tap or a sandwich at Compagno’s.

Again, missing in action. Not talking to his team, being out played by Sac Republic. Stewart saying nothing to him at the hydration break and Nico saying nothing to the team to get them going. Transfer him out, make Lara captain and bring back in Guzman.

I might start going to Costco next season for game tickets 😂 Another club showing how it’s done re community outreach re ticket prices. Potential ex MBFC players playing against each other match up.

I was thinking about this after Wednesday’s night ‘very high turnout’ 😂

If Ray and the Club are so community oriented then why are they not inviting a group of disadvantaged kids, families, etc., and have them sit in the VIP area for a game, get a walk through the ground, the (embarrassing) player facilities, meet some of the players (I could go on), every couple of home games instead of trying to impress so called sponsors.

Again, the English Guys are selected. Still missing players who are not on the ‘injured’ list. Guzman on the bench again. We will not have a full squad in a few weeks 🙄

AV Alta, first year team, after every game, have a 2 hour party after every game (players were saying the place was jumping), regular emails from owner instead of the emails we get trying to sell us someone rip off 4 ticket package. AV Alta, from what I heard, have done bus trips, one to Oakland which is a 5-6 hour drive, and we cannot get a single trip to Oakland or Sacramento organized since office cannot get the right company, claim they can’t do it, get a higher price then we probably could, and Mike/Ray won’t pay.

I saw this at Blanco and Davis in Salinas. “Professional soccer”? Really? That’s the best they can come up with?

Anyone see an issue with this email and graphics that just came out? 🤣 F Me with rubber ducky! 😂

Time for the ‘incest’ employment opportunities to stop and hire actual professionals.

Surely we can get a banner in section N or behind a goal at an away game cough Oakland, demanding Mike out of the club. Section N you have been screwed the most losing assigned seating.

So we have to pay $150 for four tickets, 4 hot dogs, 4 bags of chips and 4 sodas - like WTF! Management you should be ashamed when compared to other clubs!

What is the point of MBFC having Montage Health as a sponsor when players cannot use their facilities, not get MRIs for bad injuries, etc.

Do they only get the gym membership? 😂

Joking aside, would love to get someone high up from Montage to explain the situation and USL to investigate the clear lack of healthcare for the Club’s players vs risking careers.

Sorry guys, I also forgot Mike is MAGA and voted for Trump which may also have something to do with poor healthcare - cannot have a club physio being a Club Doctor (our physiotherapist is great - no hate here).

Based on the current website, there is zero mention of MBFC 2 or on the menu tab. It was a pretty weak team this season with two or three reasonable players. No real formation or creativity plus team was put together late in preseason. Assume replaced by the U20s team who are 2-0-0 so far. Next game vs. CSUMB however closed doors I believe. Ray, didn’t think the 2 team was a good idea, aka I’m not spending money, nor did he ever know when they played (that’s another story). The team won the division 1st year and 2nd the following so Ray’s assumption far off and look at players who came through.

Now they are doing a very poor job in advertising the U20s or trying to get people to watch - some staff as shocked at this poor effort, especially 1st home game - all we get are stupid promotional emails from Brady when other organizations are sending out proper communications to their fans, like AV Alta. U20s is being used as a cheap labor option for the club and players just getting r an amazing Ivan’s baked potato - is it just me or should Ivan’s not get a lot lease discount of 50%?!

Do not know if this has come up on here however has come up at watch parties.

I know this is @savorybutterrolls favorite topic too lol.

So, you will not get your “20%” back in the way you want and potentially two ways it could go Down: (1) Season Ticket Prices and Parking goes up by 20% so paying the same as this season.

(2) Some form of credit to be used for merchandise (new jerseys next season) or vendors, albeit vendors will not be happy with that as would only get 5% cut with increasing prices to lease a lot.

Last night should have been a wake up call to ownership that the current management structure is weak and needs a large overhaul before nobody wants to play for MBFC. Time for Ray to pull the plug on Jordan “long ball” Stewart and Mike “2nd hand car salesman” DeGiulio fired. Worst off now than last season with Frank. At least players respected Frank and had a good rapport vs Jordan and his ‘besties’ - Nico Gordon is not Captain material. Walking off like a baby at full time before anyone else, no shaking hands or checking in on his teammates. Dude, F’ing speak, we can’t hear you!?!? And his ‘buddy’ Wes - why is he playing defensive midfield over Pierce? Why are those two always playing?! No consistency to the team. If the fans still want a club speak up now or MBFC will be the first team relegated to USL1. Anyone notice some interesting absences recently? Hmm?!?!?

Per title!
