It is telling that you attribute the 71% retention to happening “under RS’s leadership”when he had been ousted from power by ML’s takeover attempt at the time of tryouts and the release of the initial coaching slate, and only returned after the fact to try to clean up the mess.
The retention issues were the direct result of the chaos caused by ML’s temporary takeover with no plan for a viable coaching slate and the general uncertainty that created. It has nothing to do with “concerns” about the TF contract or RS’s leadership. Just the instability created by the attempted takeover. The return of those TF coaches to the 2025/26 coaching slate is the only reason retention losses weren’t worse. Anyone who can’t see that has no business trying to dictate how a soccer club is run. As PP said, none of the allegations made public warranted this level of disruption or explain the damaging timing of ML’s actions. |

| If the retention is determined by past events, then you are correct. I believe that the current organization is lacking in vision and accountability at all levels. Instead of outsourcing, the club should consider hiring coaches and a Technical Director directly. |

GFR is not falling apart
It is apart, put a fork in em, they are a glorified Rec club at this point. Save your travel money for another club, use this club for what it is, a small local club for rec+ soccer The Brazilian way |

GFR does not pay their referees on time. Months after first half of season games were said to be paid out, my teenager and teens friends have not been paid ANYTHING and they keep not paying past dates when promised.
Then they also say nothing until asked and even now can’t give a date of payment. Would not recommend ever refereeing for this club. |
