I should add -- these were specific confirmations to teams sent today.


Mind sharing that confirmation message for all to see?

It's surprising that GFR would keep them after this stunt.

It’s telling that the “GFR Defenders” do nothing but launch personal attacks. Not much to stand on, obviously.


It's a personal attack to suggest someone buy a sports car instead of trying to annihilate a youth soccer club? Must be nice to think that's an attack.

The second coup has also failed, I think you mean.

Really, truly would like to know what everyone's beef is with GFR?


It's not really about GFR itself and never has been. GFR is, on the whole, probably a better club than most of its immediate neighbors not named McLean. The "beef" is a few loudmouth members, ex-coaches, and ex-board members that want to control GFR themselves, plain and simple. It's the same group that spread conspiracy theories about RS to try to get him out, culminating with the attempted coup last spring. Part of that group now sits on the Board of RBFC. The entire reason RBFC exists is to try to take down GFR. It's sad really. Some of these people were well-respected GFR members with wonderful kids. They are ruining their reputation and hurting their own kids for some vanity project.

Hilarious. Many have lived through the churn - Rado, KB, RS, KG (Admin), GD, and who knows who else. I’m not sure there has been a more chaotic club in the entire DMV the past 3 years.


It goes even further back, I am old enough to remember back when Eddie Beach was in charge (before rado) and was caught with his hand in the money jar. GFR has been in chaos for the past decade. There are few clubs with a reputation as bad as GFR. The stink around here is a stinky as it gets.


Well, that's a long time ago and basically none of those people are around right now.

Are they going to be rehired for next year after all the shenanigans though?

No, not much else to criticize bc the new club is just slogans and vaporware, with some unethical conflicts of interest and shady pressure sales tactics mixed in. Happy to critique the substance when there is any.

You're joking, right? Almost all of those people resigned or stepped down because of the chaos that was created by ML. ML was on the board for 6 months and never even bothered to have a meaningful conversation with over half the board members before trying to overtake the club. The chaos you refer to was almost entirely because of him!
