Comments about Bolton Wanderers make ties with MLS club FC New York

FC New York aren't even in the 2nd Division - they have never played a game and have no league. Good luck with that.

As of today no club by that name has ever played a single match. Congrats to Bolton for affiliating with a non-existent team.

FC NY are not in MLS, they are down in the USA's second division. And with no promotion/relegation between divisions, they'll stay there.
