[quote=Anonymous]I don't think anyone is arguing that we need less "elite" clubs in the area. It's HOW the merger is unfolding that is causing problems. The fact that the league has created this problem (they added a terrible club just last year in Potomac) and then turn around and force McLean to absorb Brave after their merger experiment is big red flag for clubs. They are bullying the club and telling them how to run their own teams. It sets a bad precedent that they can use our club like pawns. What leader of a club wants to subject their membership to that kind of treatement. Who here expects the Boys program in either club to be dominant given we are surrounded by MLS. Why force the girls to combine and not just the boys? There are so many other ways to do this. The league is recommending a merger but the terms are up to the clubs. The clubs are dropping the ball big time and that's why people are upset. The leadership at MYS decided to leave their entire Boys staff in the dark and think it will work out. The parents in McLean are against losing the most successful coaches they have had to this merger in the most critical time of their kids recruiting years. That is what's happening here. Does anyone remember how BRYC lost Welsh and Jennings when they merged? Is anyone on here saying that worked out best for those players or even the club the last two years. NEW FLASH it didn't. Why should McLean which HAS had success on the boys but had ONE down year lose all it's coaches to a WORSE boys program in this merger. Make it make sense.  The boys program had a U19 team go to the National Finals in 2022 and normally send 1-2 teams to playoffs each year. This year is no exception. The 2008 Boys will be playing in San Diego and they want to fire that coach for the Brave coach which sits bottom of the table with no wins. The boys program has done pretty good given how much competition there is in the division. Wake up people. This is all about the declining GIRLs program not the Boys program which is why the girls leaders are in control of the terms. McLean Girls ECNL used to dominate and now they don't. They don't want to develop their way to the top (which is why Danny Butler and all the talented young coaches leave). Nadir can't poach players from SYC anymore because they got smart and went GA. Vienna is the next target and McLean is selling the Boys program as collateral. This is why parents are upset. If McLean were smart they would let ECNL drop the boys program and apply for MLS next with Vienna and BRYC. Clubs can merge Girls ECNL and we all win. F*ck ECNL. The future for Boys is MLS.[/quote]
