[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If FCV was joining ECNL or some new league, why are parents still reaching out to ECNL clubs, looking for a landing place for their girls?[/quote]

Because parents don’t yet know what their club is doing?  [/quote]

The parents don't know what they're doing because FCV doesn't know what they're doing.

Some of you believed that the DA was to big to fail? Strike One
Some of you believe that FCV held a special place? Strike Two
Some of you believe that FCV had a plan? Strike Three

Let me shed some light.

You are a paying customer. The Club does not want to lose you. Without customers the Club doesn't exist. There is no social welfare for soccer clubs. They are attempting to manage their customers with the amount of information that is leaked.

Them telling you they didn't know this was going to happen is a sales pitch. They knew it was coming. If not, they were incompetent. 
Them telling you they have a plan without announcing it is sales pitch #2. it means they're scrambling to survive.

MLS told USSF for years they were dropping out and forming there own league.

MLS announcing on the same day as the DA announcement was orchestrated and not a reaction to the news.

There is no plans for MLS to run a girls academy. If they did (or do), it wont be for anyone but the oldest age groups.

If FCV was offered an ECNL spot they would have taken it.

I think this hits a lot of true statements pretty well, but some extra emphasis on the last line.  If FCV was offered an ECNL spot, they absolutely would have  taken it.  And if they even took time to "think" about it, they don't know what they're doing.[/quote]

Devil's advocate here - Since FCV was "removed" from NPL (aka ECNL RL) a few months ago, how could they be accepted into ECNL? I'm really curious since it seems ironic that they chose to leave a pathway to ECNL on the table right before DA imploded...

Is EDP the only other viable option for FCV?

What about MU? What will they do? [/quote]

My guess is that ECNL Regional and ECNL are completely different. I can't imagine that the big wigs at ECNL are communicating at all with teams like Vienna, CYA, Stafford... I bet ECNL regional teams have their own thing going. And this is just speculation but I'm guessing FCV was kicked out of the regional league because they were not treating it the same way as the other teams. Especially at the younger ages where all the teams have their top team playing FCV would have a team from a younger age group playing. It's kind of a slap in the face to everyone else. They are saying they are so good they play their younger teams against your top team. I bet ECNL Regional said to cut it out and they said we will just go to NCSL because McLean and BRYC are doing it over there!

ECNL would be crazy to not let FCV in. Especially in the 4 older age groups the FCV teams will be competing for the #1 spot every year.[/quote]

[Narrator] ECNL in fact did NOT let FCV in. [/quote]

Makes sense about the age groups. I'm curious to see what FCV decides to do and if they will be invited to ECNL after the dust has settled.[/quote]
