[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for the standard deflection tweedle dee and tweedle dumb (DCU PR intern), now can the question at hand be addressed?

https://youtu.be/MauTNb-y...oApVDGnpWt

I found him truly engaging. What's the story of what worked well and what did not when he was with DCU?

What is the focus of the new director?

He's no longer at DCU and he answered your questions on the podcast.

[b]You have no connection to DCU, you have no kid at DCU, you won't have a son at DCU [/b]

Take your unhealthy obsession elsewhere[/quote]

Dude, those are questions. Why are you so emotional over questions?[/quote]

Previous Post isn't emotional

You're disingenuous and have proven through your multiple posts that you have an agenda to denigrate and disparage the academy, the players and their parents

Your 'just a question' is your repeated modus operandi for an opening for you to reel off another slew of toxicity

If you care that much about information about the academy, contact the academy or go to games and speak to academy parents. That's what people with legitimate interests do.

Make sure you gather the fathers in a group and talk the crap you've been saying here directly to their faces for additional bonus points [/quote]

So…I posted the link. Not sure you are aware that you are talking to many different people. I do check this forum two times a day but not sure how you can post 4 minutes after my question if you are not refreshing constantly. That seems like an obsession.

Although I have made no statement about the kids, parents or academy in asking a genuine question, you told me “ you have no kid at DCU, you won't have a son at DCU” without knowing anything about me. Is that not the definition of toxic when you have no idea who I am or how may times my kid has been invited to DCU, Nashville, CLT, Philly or Red Bulls?

He did clearly lay out the key to the DMV producing more professional footballers and I am genuinely curious on whether he just talks well on a podcast or whether it is an unfixable problem due to the culture under this ownership. Silence is golden so I think I have my answer.[/quote]

The most toxic person on here is the person who unsuccessfully tries to deflect and defend DCUs shortcomings.  Don't listen to that poster.  They don't have anything productive to say about DCU. Good or bad.

With respect to the former DCU academy director on this podcast here is what you need to know:

Look at his resume.  Average all around.  Very nice person.. but in terms of actual football knowledge, you can find much better talent to run a MLS academy. The problem is that DCU didn't want to invest in real staff so they got people filling these jobs with weaker credentials who basically made the calculation that they would try and use DCU as a stepping stone to something different.  No real intention of staying long term because the pay sucks, the organization sucks and the leadership sucks.  Everything sucks.

The things he says on the podcast are not false with respect to how to produce more pros.  The problem is that DCU cannot solve for a lot of these problems without significant investment and they won't do that.  So the regions talent doesnt get properly identified, developed or engaged by the club. Everything is just the bare minimum to be credible.

They did hire a better Academy Director after this last one.  But you can't advance the ball at DCU significantly with no money.  That will be true even if they had the best directors in there.  So in a nutshell, there is a structural problem at DCU that plagues the academy and that is piss poor leadership that doesn't care about the academy and barely understands how to properly run the club overall. Look at how bad DCUs first team is.  It's all just a complete joke. [/quote]
