New York City FC fans admit they're upset over the way Frank Lampard's situation with Manchester City has been handled.
Lampard will miss the MLS kickoff after extending his loan with City to the end of the season.
Chance Michaels - president of The Third Rail supporters group - told the Daily Mail: "The whole situation is very frustrating.
"If we'd known all of the details from the start then we would not be as upset as we have been this past week. All of this could have been easily avoided.
"But we have a problem with transparency in the MLS in general and I feel for Lampard being caught in the middle of it."
Third Rail co-founder Anthony Buckley added: "It comes down to how they presented it - he was wearing the shirt and we were told he was definitely going to play.
"Then we were told he was staying at Manchester City and now that he had never signed at all.
"We're confident he'll still come here to play but some fans have already taken back shirts with his name on and say they're going to boo him.
"Personally, I won't be doing that because I'm putting my heart 100 per cent behind this new team, but the reaction has been very mixed towards him and this situation."
