[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, sorry to jump in with an out of town question. This forum pops up when you search Barca Academy. In any case, that is disappointing to hear re: politics. If you don’t mind sharing, where there other examples besides exchanging phone numbers?

Maybe we had it too good to be true at our first club. Had to relocate and there you go. That first club was run very well.[/quote]

I don't see any issues with politics.  It's a business, so of course he's exchanging numbers and saying the things that would attract new players.  Make no mistake, the training is legit, everything outside of that is suspect and trial/error.[/quote]

There were many issues that couldn’t be resolved via the central email the first year, e.g. uniforms majorly back-ordered, player card issues, payment problems, etc.  He was the only one handling that stuff at set-up and Georgia (manager handling entire Club) was swamped.  Makes sense people with issues went to him.  I wouldn’t assume nefarious reasons.

2nd year (this year) the CEO from sporting global was at the Club only twice that I’m aware— college scout day and the closing ceremony.  He has zero to do with day-to-day operations and player decisions/issues that is entirely the TD.  The TD reports directly back to FCB.

My tolerance for politics is non-existent and a good reason why we left a former Club.  I have multiple kids and we are staying for our third year.  I have not noticed anything and @ss-kissing doesn’t appear to get a player moved to a first team.  If anything, a lot of the people that left (not all, some great ones with location issues) were upset because politics did NOT work.  They couldn’t use their old schtick to get their way.  On my kids’ teams I’ve seen almost no interaction with parent-staff.  There is always that one dad on every team though.[/quote]
