What does it matter at this point? It’s been decided by ECNL, which was communicated. Stop deflecting. VYS and BRYC are ready to move forward. MYS’s internal chaos is holding this up. |
You are not understanding. Instead of BRAVE being 2/3rds of the vote, VYS should team with McLean to be the 2/3rds and give BRYC jacks—-…which is what BRYC deserves at this point. BRYC can’t even field RL teams, they are completely irrelevant. Giving them anything just assures a next collapse will happen. |
No bro, you are not understanding. It's done, 3 way Power Share. It's literaly only waiting on McLean boys coaches to sign off, and get off their false supremacy, your pogram is average at best, annouce the coaches already. |
Yep seems like the McLean Boys coaches want this to fail so they can say I told you so because their feelings are hurt.
Way to look after the kids who are already getting hurt in this process. |
Here is how this plays out. People leave McLean because VYS and BRYC suck. The new Union will struggle and then ECNL will just pull the plug entirely. This will be because of two little community rec clubs getting in over their head and running another club into the ground. Arlington, NVA, VDA all get stronger while VYS and kills a good brand in two shor years they end up playing in NCSL again. |
I’m not with McLean. The only way this works out is if McLean and VYS share the power and give BRYC as little power and influence as possible. If BRYC is going to lobby for their TD’s kid to get a team, etc., this will go downhill real fast and Fairfax Union’s run will be even shorter than Fairfax BRAVE’s. |
Interesting how you are ignoring the fact that ECNL also came down on Brave because they were failing. Let's not portray VYS and BRYC as the saviors. They are as much, if not bigger, disaster. |
After all of MYS’s dysfunction is now so apparent? No way. VYS and BYRC need to step up to instill a better culture (more familiar to the BRAVE community) in FVU. A healthy injection of good organization, humility, respect and kindness would be a start. |
And you are not understanding that 2/3 of the vote doesn't matter. Every vote needs to be unanimous to do anything. |
What has VYS accomplished to deserve such a controlling interest? They were a ECNL feeder club. They never had the patch. VYS is a small time grass roots, community club. They know nothing about college recruitment, ECNL level competition and player identification and development for that level. BRYC, simply proved they couldn't cut it at that level and were about to be kicked out until they were given a stay of execution with VYS. Clearly VYS wasn't quite the fix or neither club would be in this spot right now. VYS has fields. that's it, that's their contribution. VYS only has 7 girls who made State ODP. So, by all means, such a rich player pool and rich history should be driving a ECNL ship that fell into their lap without doing a thing as a club to earn it on their own. It will fail and VYS won't care because they will just go back to grass roots, community soccer, which is what they are good at. |
That's hilarious! My kids have played for BRYC (back when it had ECNL) and MYS and to say that BRYC will instill a better culture and inject good organization, etc is such a joke. They are one of the most disorganized clubs out there with terrible team cultures. McLean is far from perfect but better by far than BRYC in every respect. |
It's always about the coaches. So tiring. The number of kids are staying the same. Obviously the number of teams and coaches can also remain the same in the DMV. That said it would be in VYS's best interest to give a slight majority to MYS. They are doing better and one of the reasons Brave didn't succeed as well is because they didn't take a smaller role when it was originally formed. |
I agree this setup fails. Fairfax County is too big not to have a team though. I think the best scenario long term is actually just to have one ECNL club in the county which operates completely independently of any feeder club. Feeder clubs don't matter anyway. It's all about proximity. Just let FXU have its own staff and run its own club. All local clubs will be default partners by virtue of proximity and then VYS and MYS and BRYC can return to their happy places of managing their own rec and lower level travel programs without having to deal with each other. |
That sounds fantastic in theory, but in reality, if every vote truly needs to be unanimous, nothing will ever get done. Eventually, either someone takes charge or majority rules. |
Unanimous is working so well that the coaching slate has been out for a week already..... |
