[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's actually unbelievable that a couple of you are creating a false person to point your finger for WS VA DA negative publicity.

2 months ago, Larry and staff were going to axe the program.

2 months ago, Larry and staff were working out a deal to buy FCV.

2 months ago, the program would have been axed if it wasnt seen as a cost benifit.

2 months ago even the TD couldn't tell you if the players had a future.

WS VA DA has bloated rosters because the youth staff was told to carry all those players. Reason? MONEY!

The youth staff told all returning families for 2018 that the rosters size will not be repeated. Not only was it repeated, it was enlarged.

The reason WS is currently buttering up to the McLean and Bryc players: Build the base and recruit their players for DA. They believe that be peeling off a few of the best players per age group it will collapse the team and cause migration over.

Yeah, that’s a weird pair of mutual back scratchers.  They probably are close offline.  I wouldn’t worry about them.

To your other points though, in the end, many programs build from surrounding programs:  FCV, McLean (both peeled from Loudoun), DC United, Bethesda, and on and on.  The new owner has said he wants smaller rosters and wants wins.  That has to lead to some changes.  The old leadership was fine with losing and rostered accordingly.  Then they sold  parents on development over wins as a slogan (which is an abuse of the concept).  Changing leadership changes the core.  I’ve been through it professionally and in schools as well.  I’ve seen clubs change with it.  So I have every reason to think Spirit is also capable of change.  [/quote]
