GFR Falling apart?

Imagine if they had a better BoD. Yes, kids get screwed. But blame the leadership not the coaches who have had enough. So who stands to gain from all this? Rev? MYS? Riverbend FC (I assume that’s a real thing from previous posts from obvious insiders, this Phoenix futsal thing)?

Not sure why think not real- public filings from past fall list RB legal entity and its 4 Phoenix arms, including futsal.

Makes sense when you put it that way! I’m just trying to keep up with the craziness - Riverbend, Phoenix, ML, RS, etc…!

ML (not the coach, but the weasel) may be a lot of things but "stupid" is not one of them. He knows starting a new club that he will not be able to get into NCSL or VPSL. He's trying to create a feeder team -- most likely to NVA. He can get EDP and then feed NVA in some sort of alliance. That is his most likely angle and will probably be his selling point to potential recruits he hijacks from GFR. Especially, the disgruntled ones.

That is why it is important that GFR not just stand still and say, "we're so happy being a local club. We don't need a pathway." I wish those people would STFU. For GFR to thrive and grow and keep the wolves at bay, they need to get a pathway to make the club more legit and appealing. And they need to do it soon. Otherwise the rivers waters will come up and swallow half their team.

Why would NVA do a fake marketing alliance with a brand new club? That cheapens their brand.

they wouldn't. this suggestion is absurd. why would anyone move to this new club and hope that there might be a pathway for their kid and leave an established club with RL? you really think this club ML is starting will have fields and resources that can compete with what GFR Has?

Could this be the reason GFR is looking to make an alliance with VDA?

You all are hilarious. The new ED who has run one of the strongest clubs in the area and has a ton of professional connections started 12/1. Do you not think she has a plan? Do you think some of these changes are according to the plan? Do you not think she has some upgrades waiting in the wings? The talent pool and GFR community base will entice coaches to come over that did not want to work for RS. Do you not think there will be some kind of pathway in place by spring? Of course she will get that done. It is unlikely to be with NVA just due to geography. Have an egg nog and chill for a week or two. Good things are likely coming for all of us that have been asking for exactly these things for a while.

VDA I mean

Is the RB club an attempt to unmerge the great falls portion of GFR?

AC Milan had fields and NCSL, how did they do it? There is always EDP, if NCSL doesn’t work for “RB” (Lame name, btw). None of this is easy, but if they have players/paying customers, they can work it out.

There is a lot to figure out for the new ED, especially if this exodus is already in motion.

If you're the "winter is coming" poster, this is pretty weak sauce. I was promised White Walkers, not a few malcontents throwing a pointless tantrum bc they were unable to get their way.

Looks like the club is on solid footing and we can all look forward to spring. If only George R.R. Martin moved the plot forward so quickly, we wouldn't still be waiting on book six.

They paid Herndon for access to some of their fields for games. Some of their games were on crappy grass fields at Hutchison ES.

Phoenix is playing 2017, 2016 girls teams at the Alex futsal tournament. I guess we will all see what is up
