You do know that MU is completely made up, right?

You do know that CZ almost took over, right?

You know that the FCV and the Spirit pool were almost bundled and sold to STJ, right?

You know that the people looking to make this happen are still around, right?

You know that MU should have never been given DA, right?

I suspect this MU deal was to buy more time until the bigger plan can be executed.

Who gives a crap, honestly. They are there for a year and we’ll see. Maybe STJ realizes in a year that there are no profits in this business and they divest. Maybe the MU families decide at the end of the year it isn’t working out and find other options. Maybe they excel, attract a bunch of new talent, and don’t need the “master plan” (lol) executed.

You need a new hobby. This one is driving you insane.

If you don’t want to hear this stuff then stop reading this forum. If you’re going to read this forum, then don’t be a puss about it. Counter argue, but quit the little bitchy comments.

Ha! So, you got nothing then? Except some rules for how we should approach the forum. Got it. We all know what this place is. A place for you to vent your frustrations endlessly about FCV. But we’re the wusses? Ok. Whatever happened, let it go.

Ummm he was staring in general about how forums work and he is right. Whatever you said makes no point and certainly doesn’t counter that fact.

“Ha!” Is not a counter argument.

The forum is a place to speculate about these things and that is all people are doing. There is nothing wrong about predicting how this sale will work out down the road. Your defensiveness on the matter will neither stop the speculation nor affect the possible outcomes. Is it better to plan for the future based on a range of scenarios or to just wait for things to happen and plan after the fact?

How many practices at the St James are to many? One? Two? It doesn’t matter? How much of a price hike or how much extra “encouraged” extras can you afford or are comfortable saying no to? Knowing your own limitations and a healthy dose of speculative prediction can make you better prepared.

Last year you signed on at FCV and it was a simple soccer decision, certainly nobody was anticipating the club would sell. But now this year after a out of the blue sale and the near certainty of change you think the best idea is to wait until next spring to plan? You don’t think the higher ups at the St James don’t have their own buddies who they would like to work with? Change is coming, how much is hard to tell but to deny that change is coming is a bad approach.

Here is why these posts are so stupid. Everyone can do the same thing about every club with the speculation and snark. Watch...

Are you tired of playing at Loudoun and realizing that those U10 tournament victories don't help your resume and those GotSoccer points expire? By U13 all that has been developed is one-footed kickballers. But, hey, those GKs can punt the crap out of the ball.

Anyone worried that VDA is made up of 3 average clubs (PWSI, VSA and VYS) and that within 3 years that partnership will collapse and you all will be playing for PWSI in ECNL regional? Where will all the BRYC players go when the Scots pack up and leave for greener pastures when they realize that BRYC doesn't have a big enough club to pay their salaries and ECNL is just glorified CCL?

And so on and so on.

I’ll take the bait because you raised a couple of interesting points to speculate about. Particularly the fate of VDA. I disagree with the shade you are throwing at VSA and PWSI, (two clubs FCV can’t beat by the way). But how will a Regional ECNL affect VDA when VSA and PWSI could just go it alone?

I’m taking the bait. Please elaborate here. With VDA taking the best players, PWSI has slid but prior to that it was a top NOVA club. VSA has benefited from theVDA affiliation and new leadership. They are solid. VDA is not a separate club. It is those 2 clubs. Vienna is not in Vienna anymore. If VDA broke up, it would be PWSI in ecnl just like they were in the DA before VDA started.

Not in vda* it looks like they’re staying south of Fairfax. Seems to be working.

So desperate to turn the conversation away from STJ you'll say anything. I get it. The uncertainty must give you heartburn and keep you up at night to spew that jumble of nonsense.

You have a counter for everything. Look in the mirror.

DP here. I thought you were “out” a few posts ago?

I don’t think anything is wrong with you posting what you feel is valuable information IF you post who you are, what qualifies you to know, and exactly where it comes from. Otherwise it does seem a bit like ravings from a madman who is hell bent on seeing a club and the families burn to the ground, even if that’s not true and not the intention.

Interesting idea. Unfortunately you posted it anonymously so it means nothing too.
