[quote=soccer_dc][quote=FPYCparent]As long as we (families/players) remain consumers, I think it is reasonable to assess the value we get from the clubs we patronize.  For better or for worse, evaluating a club's overall win/loss record is just one way to assess that value.  (I don't want to imply that's the only thing that matters.)

If an entire club is coming up short in terms of on-field performance against other top-tier clubs, I am hoping that its customers are getting something they value out of the experience.

Let's me say it another way, Club A costs $2K a year for your great player.  Nearby Club B costs $5K.  If the top teams at each club are in the same league (or an equivalent), and Club B simply doesn't perform as well as Club A, then I think it is reasonable for Club B to offer something that makes its experience worth the additional $3K.  If two shops sold the same burger, would you go out of your way to pay $50 more for that burger?  Maybe if you got something else that helped justify the difference.[/quote]

Ok that's a lot of hypotheticals and abstractions. Seems like maybe you have a beef with club B not being worth what they charge. Why not just come out and say what you mean instead of dancing around. It's an anonymous forum.

Every family is doing these value assessments every year and voting with their dollars. Club B's customers are getting something they value or else they wouldn't be paying the money. Clearly it's not enough value for you to pay that money, and that's your right to make that judgement for yourself. But why is it important to you that other families value Club B the same way as you? Live and let live my friend.[/quote]
