[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that people keep talking about a merger between “FCV” and BRYC fail to understand the current reality. There is no FCV anymore. TSJ is the owner.

One of two things would have to happen.

1. TSJ buys BRYC, a large multi-sport club. 
2. BRYC buys TSJ’s controlling interests in the soccer club

BRYC could try and hire away TSJ’s coaching staff in hopes that they bring their players but that would likely violate a non-compete clause in their contracts.

BRYC isn't buying anything. Buying it with what?[/quote]

Cant imagine BRYC buying STJ soccer piece and cant imagine St. James buying BRYC.  There could be a way to merge teams, STJ/FCV have coaches and good players, BRYC has the league.  When coaches contracts are up at STJ I could see them looking around either locally or somewhere else, and I think current FCV players would follow if it was a local move.  The coaching move with out a merger seems to make the most sense if it ever were to happen.  [/quote]

There is no scenario where a merger “makes sense”.

Who collects training fees and who pays the coaches?

BRYC is a non-profit and TSJ is a profit.

It isn't happening. [/quote]

Does anyone think BRYC has capital to buy another club? Maybe they should IPO for funds to do this? Lol.[/quote]

“Why buy what you can steal”.  They don’t need to.  It won’t happen overnight, but players will chose other clubs versus FCV.  Top players in age groups will gravitate to ECNL clubs.  Some will go to Loudoun.  Some to VDA.  Some to BRYC.  This board is full of the crazies.  But most parents will position their kids in a club that is girls ECNL to ensure they are getting proper exposure. Sure, kids will sign with colleges outside of ECNL - that will always occur.  But on par, ECNL will be the destination.  And yes, some players who may not be as good will sign from ECNL vs non affiliated clubs just because of that exposure.  The reality is, you have a better shot in the pipeline that out of it.  And even if the goal is a better education via soccer - ECNL is the best avenue for girls.  [/quote]
