I just don’t understand why they would fold.
The MLS clubs are starting to act more like real clubs in terms of transfers and solidarity payments (about a year ago getting into the solidarity payment business). They don’t want US players jumping from a non-MLS DA club to Europe and not getting anything out of it, or potentially having to take a cut on a transfer fee to make a solidarity payment (e.g. the Yedlin Crossfire issue). Bottom line, they want as big a cut as possible on any pros coming out of the US.

The roosters will continue to come home to hatch with deteriorating women’s international performances to match the awful men’s teams if ECNL wrests back control. No doubt in my mind.

Cost – U.S. Soccer spends a around $9 Million on the DA’s per year, and gets little but grief for most of their investments. With an all new management team at the top of the Federation, and the very real likelihood of an 8-figure financial settlement on the way with the U.S. Women’s National Team, cutting bait now would remove a lot of distractions and sure up what may become much-needed cash in the coming years, before the expected windfalls of the 2026 World Cup.

Maybe get the US teams of old, when they were doing decent in world cups.
Completely wrong answer. The girls are tanking and will continue that trajectory. ECNL girls games for years have been about physicality and speed. Watch the film. Something more is needed as the world catches up.
The men’s side will not be strengthened by disbanding its only elite league.
But in essence, the ECNL would be the only elite league. I am sure tryouts would be very interesting, especially in SOCAL, but in everywhere else too. I know if I was a coach of an ECNL team and DA disbanded, I would be pretty excited to see who arrives for tryouts. Competition becomes way tougher with the consolidation.

You shouldn’t be messaging kids to go find new clubs. Clubs will find new leagues. No need to deliberately panic kids with Twitter DMs

Unfortunately ecnl clubs have made calls already. Apparently your news is old because DM’s from DA parents today have told us they were getting calls from ECNL clubs already to jump shift. You got to remember $ talks.

Nothing on Danaher's twitter., the others reference Glenn. Or don't you check your BS before you open your pie hole?

I’ve taken the tweet down because some creeps thought they could take that info and then send Twitter DMs to kids to jump ship. I’m looking at you

.
Isn’t Danaher ECNL too? That’s what it says on his Twitter page. So two ECNL guys tweeting the competition is finished is credible news?
