[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, to the other poster who called me a "prick", ok, but the 21 pages of VYS dirty laundry are yours and your club's to own, not mine. [/quote]

How do you know it wasn't me? (It wasn't, but how do you know?)

And no, a lot of that dirty laundry belongs to people who are no longer associated with VYS. In some cases, maybe they never were.[/quote]

It doesn't matter who called me a prick, what matters is that your club members and former members take ownership of the club's image. And since there appears to be very little in debating the truth of many of the assertions made in this thread the negative impact goes unchallenged.

Are there negative experiences expressed by other people regarding their clubs? Yes, the difference is many of those people recognize that in many instances it is a personal grievance with a particular set of circumstances that are pretty relatable to all travel soccer families, and while they complain, they generally do not mention the club or the coaches.

The image of VYS that is portrayed by people affiliated with your club is that of a tire fire. Getting mad at me for pointing that out as an outsider does not change neither the image nor my impression. Pointing out the faults in other clubs will not rectify your own club's faults either.

You want to start to make things at your club better? Start by letting this thread and others like it die and slide off the top of this page. [/quote]

Again -- amid the nastiness and silliness, a legitimate discussion is taking place. VYS made a risky move and hired a British technical director who didn't know much about the NoVa soccer landscape. It didn't work out. So what next?

If you're trying to suggest that VYS people (which would include random parents) should just ignore some of the negativity here, that's a fair point to an extent. In some cases, correcting obvious mistakes is warranted. Endlessly engaging with nonsense? Sure, that's a bit much.

But the thread isn't going to die soon. Not in a time of major transition.

And again -- pointing out the existence of trouble in other clubs isn't "abusive husband" behavior here. It's "the grass isn't greener" behavior, and it's pointing out that the unusual fixation on VYS on this board isn't necessarily a function of VYS itself. It's a fluke of who's on this board and who isn't.[/quote]
