[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that RS is still a part of GFR in any capacity is atrocious. When your name becomes associated with things like "misappropriation of funds" and/or "embezzlement", you have no business being a part of that same organization anymore. And say what you will about ML, he got frustrated with the ethical challenges of people like RS & NM (shocking I know considering their stellar reputation for ethics & always doing the right thing...) and the GFR BoD not doing the right thing last year, so he's forming his own club. From what I hear he's got motivation, money & the support of numerous GFR travel coaches. Assuming he can line up fields & get teams into respectable leagues, what's to stop him from shedding GFR of good coaches & a healthy number of players (many of whom will follow their coach out the door)?!? This is all happening in 2026. The train has left the station folks. And the new ED sounds terrific. Hope she has an M.D. tho because someone is going to need to stop the GFR bleeding next year...

Ohhhh good luck to ML and friends -  just waltzing into a travel soccer league and getting enough field space is not as easy as it seems. this area is so ridiculously over saturated with ECNL AND GA/MLS next clubs right now why they hell would anyone go play at some mom and pop club.  it’s sad if parents aren’t educated enough and just want to pay a ton of money for travel soccer that will be glorified rec leagues at best.  Even NCSL you can’t just walk into, the other clubs have to vote you in.  And no coach who cares about their reputation will convince parents to leave GFR right now when they’re still one of the top RL clubs in the state to go play for this brand new club with no league affiliation.

I thought people who posted on these boards were more educated but apparently not.

As for RS, ML botched that badly trying to ignore club bylaws and policies and just buying RS off.  If all RS cared about was money why didn’t he take the money he was offered and run?  [/quote]
