[quote=Anonymous][quote]After watching this meeting last night it sounds pretty clear that if HYS plans on improving its status in this area and opening itself up to more opportunities it has to sever ties with TF since it is for profit. It was noted that none of the other premier teams in premier leagues around here operate with a for profit entity coaching some of their teams in a team centric approach. It is not viewed favorably by specific leagues, and clubs do not want to partner with clubs who operate like that.[/quote]

This all seems odd - and morally wrong (as opposed to factually incorrect) - to me.  Surely the customers are the best ones to decide whether they are getting a good service at a good price.  As far as I can tell TF has done an excellent job and if the parents are happy to pay the cost, why does it matter how other teams operate?  Why would other clubs and leagues dislike it?  Perhaps because they are concerned tha the model might take off and eat into their profits too?

[quote]It was stated that HYS held discussions with TF on how to move forward but apparently TF won’t budge. I can see why TF wouldn’t want to give up this arrangement[/quote]
Indeed.  They have been hired, done what they werr hired to do and done it well - and now HYS wants to cut them out of the deal.  I wouldn't budge either.

[quote] but at the same point what club will they take their teams too?  What’s the guarantee all the players will follow if they CAN find another club?  (Okay maybe LMVSC will...)[/quote]
Agree - it may well be that TF gets the shaft.  That doesn't make it right though.  This could end up with both TF and HYS as big losers.

[quote]I don’t envy the players stuck in this position but if had a DD on a TF coached team I’d be asking some pretty hard questions of TF as well about what HYS had discussed within about keeping the current coaches on as HYS employees, etc. because the feeling I got is that HYS will absolutely separate from Total Futbol [/quote]
Just out of interest, what questions would you be asking of TF?

[quote]I don’t envy the players stuck in this position, but the feeling I got from watching this is that HYS WILL separate from Total Futbol. [/quote]
Agreed.  Players will likely end up the losers.  But, even so,  they will have options to move elsewhere.

My advice, based on similar experiences in the past would be to make your decision to move quickly - and probably to somewhere completely new.  There's a very good chance that half a team will stay at HYS and half a team will follow the coach - and neither will end up being a great option.[/quote]
