It’s clear no one actually likes her. No one stands with her during games. People avoid her like she’s contagious. The team has zero bond—and it all starts with her. But somehow, she’s still here.

Here’s a thought, perhaps you should ask for a change and become the TM and fix the issues you pronounce.

Are you sure it's not you that no one stands with at games and no one likes?
Every team does not have that TM. And every coach and club does not cater towards the TM's kid.
Grow up OP.

Yea right. And this minimum wage entry level part timer will have our team and coach in their best interest assuming they stick around for more than a month or two.

Eww.. what team are you on? What a sweeping judgement of team managers. My dd TM is amazing and the complete opposite of everything you said.

DD’s ECNL club does not have parent managers. Coaches run everything. It’s great.

Then our fees would go up because they would have to pay the TM. Right now it's a volunteer parent that costs nothing.

Haha yeah. Also the TM just called a meeting to discuss how much of a gossipy jackass you are. Everyone agrees. This isn’t high school, get off the fence and lend a hand and organize a social event or fund raise or something. Be a parent be involved…. Because it sounds like you are the problem, not the poor TM.

I can tell you why the team has zero bond and it’s not the TM.

OK, hmm, I'm siding with the TM on this one.
