In everyone's defense, there are two sides to all stories. Plenty of people on a given team may say a coach is amazing v terrible.

There was a recent coaching change on the 2006 Black Team. One parent clearly doesn’t like it and has decided to be vindictive and attack people personally on an anonymous message board.

I don’t think that’s the right way to handle anything. Good luck to the previous coach and to the new coach, and most importantly to the kids and families. That team is going to be fine as will Vienna’s other teams. This individual will clearly be with another club next year and that’s fine. Good luck to them too.

We actually like the Juventus approach though because it IS lower key at least for the younger ages. Less pressure for wins. Second: if my DS were to join Juventus, I would have zero expectations of anything other than a nice friendly place with good training. Certain no pro Italian coaching. Third: as you say, top-flight combines are hardly this team’s bread and butter... great that they are expanding to give a different type of option, but who could plausibly be threatened? Fourth: you can’t search IP addresses on DCUM. Imagine if that were really possible! So that leaves the likelihood that someone is being malicious, which brings me back to point 3. Honestly this is too weird for words.

Coaches going to Italy for one coaching training session does not make them great coaches.

FCGB used to be affiliated with FC Bordeaux a few years ago until they drop the affiliation. Cost them money for the affiliation without any value.

Does anyone else feel like this is the opposite? No one in marketing would put together an over the top post like this. At least if they wanted to keep their job. I think this was an attempt to create a negative conversation about Juventus. I’ll be honest I know nothing about the club. But it seems more likely to be someone trying to create negative publicity. I don’t know who or what club would have the most to gain by this but... just my 2 cents.

I agree

No. This seems highly unlikely because it is difficult to imagine any motivation for doing so. This is essentially a non-existent club. It has a handful of low-level teams in Maryland, and is trying to start one or two teams in Virginia. I highly doubt that any competitor is aware of its existence or feels even the tiniest bit threatened by it. Despite the hamfisted nature of the initial publicity attempt it seems far more likely that this was an attempt by the club to promote itself than the reverse.
