[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would ECNL want a second team in Loudon? They already have Loudon itself and McLean right there too. [/quote]

Because of the market, if Barca, VRSC, FCV were able to attract players it means that there is a market.  Does it make sense?  Pull the players of these teams together and they’d make a bigger pool than Loudoun and McLean. [/quote]

It remains to be seen if VRSC can attract ECNL caliber players[/quote]

ECNL clubs attract ECNL caliber players.

Then why brother trading BRYC for revolution? [/quote]

If you believe ECNL clubs attract ECNL caliber players then it is obvious that the problem with BRYC is organizational. It becomes a viscous cycle. You either can't coach and develop the talent you select or you can't select the right talent. Being completely unsuccessful at moving the needle in a positive direction regarding results it then becomes impossible to attract outside talent. Organizationally they haven't been aggressive even though they are sinking. Where are the mergers, the partnerships that can bring in new players and coaches? Where are the outside coach hires that always come with their players?

FCV treats local clubs like they are on Tinder in order to keep talent coming in. McLean partnered with SYC. SYA and CYA merged. VDA is built exclusively on a partnership. Metro has partner clubs. Great Falls and Reston merged. What has BRYC done organizationally to improve itself?

VA Revolution on the other hand has been both bold and ruthless. The sad thing is BRYC was a storied club in the region and now it is just a shell of itself. [/quote]

That bold and ruthless club has zero good teams. They have proven that they can purchase a property that no one else wants and nothing else. [/quote]

Let's be super clear about this. VA Revolution the soccer club does not own Evergreen. They have a wealthy parent/coach who started a company call Revolution Investments. He and other investors, some of them also parents, used a registered agent service firm to hide their identities.

Your travel fees ... a percentage of that is going to pay back the Investors. That $295(!) per season rec fee that's double any other program in the area ... yeah, a big chunk is going to the Investors.

So any Revolution Investem- I mean soccer club parents out there, when your club claims to be a nonprofit you might want to ask to see the books for Revolution Investments, too. Let's see how much of a family it is when you ask that question.

You've been played. Much like the customers of Independent Solar Solutions (look it up).[/quote]

$295 per season of rec?  You must be joking.[/quote]

I’m not affiliated with VA Revolution, but when you form an LLC, at least in VA, you must designate a ‘Registered Agent’. Many LLCs use a Registered Agent service, since it entails handling legal and tax documents on the LLCs behalf. There is nothing sketchy or, frankly, unusual about using a service. You were able to figure out who the “wealthy parent/coach” is, so he’s not exactly hiding his identity. As I said, I’m not affiliated with VA Revolution, but wish them success. I’m not sure why any customer in Loudoun wouldn’t want more options, especially when the primary one is so awful.[/quote]

Yes.  If you want anonymity you form the LLC in New Mexico or offshore.[/quote]
