[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An honest club would have done 1 of 3 things:

1) Announced prior to taking deposits so families could decide what is best for them. They may have lost some but would have picked up interest from Springfield area families.

2) Promise to make no location changes during the announcement.

3) Recognize the issue and offer deposits back.

None of this happened.[/quote]

I dunno, at the end of the day its essentially a 1 year contract when you sign up at a club and they are making people whole for 2019-20. Unfortunately some families will have to make a change next year if they cannot accept whatever changes occur. Thems the breaks.[/quote]

The only people complaining aren’t with the club. Folks in the club are paying attention and will make appropriate decisions IF something changes. Don’t you get sick of saying the same thing everyday about a club you’re not even with?  Hope you spend this much energy on your own club. [/quote]

I have to laugh at the “IF something changes” line. As if they won’t be practicing at the St James 80% of the time by this time next year. [/quote]

There is only one certainty with new owners that has played out over and over all across the country: things will change. No matter what is promised - because they almost always promise nothing will change - they always shift it to whatever works to enhance their bottom line. You can take that to the bank. And TSJ certainly will.  [/quote]

And it seems like you are so hoping for some changes. Why are you hoping for that?  Why do you want the club to make moves that might upset the soccer careers of many young people who are happy there?  Why do you hate FCV players? Because at the end of the day, you’re not rooting against the coaches or the administration, you’re hoping for the worst for young players. Can’t understand that. I don’t know your club, but even if I did, I wouldn’t be hoping for the worst for it. I probably wouldn’t even care. [/quote]

DP—I don’t see it that way.  This poster seems to be warning you to prepare for change, similar to how posters warned Spirit parents of the pro club dropping their affiliation earlier in the year.   Really similar situation in terms of the ownership change, and the implication is that changes to the new owner’s liking may follow, which happened with Spirit and other clubs who have gone through ownership changes.  That’s the message, not looking to hurt the kids but help by prepping the parents on what may come.  [/quote]
