[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oklahoma celtic to GA… wow big time stealing an RL club.  [/quote]

This is actually a huge win for GA. Very solid club in OKC with a lot of potential. [/quote]

the GA hats justifying a mid to bottom level RL team from Oklahoma. this cracks me up.  [/quote]

Its more about reading the market. If you look at this one move in a vacuum, no big deal. Zoom out and there is enough data to read a larger pattern and recognize a trend. GA is making moves not just for this season, but with the future in mind.

ECNL's strategy so far seems to be more focused on the next few years.[/quote]

I have a different read of this. It shows the leagues are pursuing different strategies.

GA is trying to expand as much as possible. More teams = more money.

ECNL thinks over expansion risks dilution and is trying to restrict supply to remain elite rather than normal, everywhere, and anodyne.

We’ll see who’s right.

But this does suggest mid-tier RL teams are viewed by GA as on a GA level and not an Aspire level, notwithstanding the propaganda about Aspire overtaking RL.[/quote]

RL is definitely higher level than Aspire and is almost on par with GA.

But ECNL is getting ready to give probably 10-12 clubs promotion on the girls side this year.

They made a lot of promises last year to pull clubs away from MLS2 and GA and stick with the RL platform. [/quote]
