By “disrupted the cross river landscape” do you mean stopped coaches/teams from moving over or stopped a merger or what do you mean?

Doesn't Vienna call their top girls teams "Phoenix"? I'd think RBFC would want something unique considering the proximity.

I think you mean ML, the disgruntled former board member throwing a toddler tantrum. The only thing NM has to do with this is sparking ML’s jealousy.

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.

Hahaah you've had a little too much egg nog. You act like GFR signed Jose Mourinho with his connections. If you think one person can change all the stuff that's happened at GFR for the past 4-5 years, you're blind.

Given that the only thing of any concern that’s happened over the past 4-5 years that’s been credibly alleged is some small bore problems with internal controls — typical growing pains for a small club getting larger— I’m pretty sure one person with a strong management background can fix it pretty easily.

Otherwise what’s happened is 4-5 years of good soccer, the beginning of a needed shift at younger ages from trying to win games with long ball to individual & technical development, and a move towards a more possession oriented approach, and shedding a couple disgruntled coaches + directors. All good stuff.

Oh, and a little temper tantrum by a new director who had bad judgment & didn’t get his way last spring in a coup attempt. Less good, that.

Is new club related to Phoenix Elite cheer and dance out of Chantilly? If not, either someone forgot to tell them to do a google search before naming club or more likely they don’t care.

This club is 100% just a bunch of dudes who think they can buy whatever they want when they don't get their way so I am sure they didn't bother to consider anything like this.

Have you seen the 2016, 2015 boys play? I didn't see much "individual & technical development" if you count a coach sitting on his butt shouting at the kids as they're getting beat bad on the field

So if the ding is on the GFR coaches, why do people think will be better at a new club if it’s same kids/same coaches just different letters on jerseys?

Because they'll have a new patch on their jersey and mom/dad can post it on IG to show their kids are ELITE

What is hilarious is they all left/are leaving because of someone that is no longer in charge of a damn thing at GFR lol Cutting off your nose to spite your face or something.

Not true. Never resigned
