While other neighboring clubs keeping falling over themselves, chasing shiny things, or shooting themselves in the foot Arlington has been quiet, consistent, and competent while serving the second largest player pool in the area.
Several clubs would welcome that as an alternative to what seems like constant turmoil.

Time to move on OP. Not sure what ax you’re trying to grind!

OP clearly has some axe to grind with someone in addition to the system, this is just meant to stir the pot of course. If OP thinks he/she can do better than have at it.
I think it fine to critique, but let's be fair - no one in these roles will ever be successful in the eyes of many in this competitive area. There will always be haters... who, it also seems, think these individuals shouldn't be paid a living wage for this area.
I have no issue with the Arlington leadership making a decent wage (in this area those wages aren't totally off the mark)--especially if they are running an efficient operation that makes sound decisions related to their soccer programming. At minimum, Arlington seems the most stable and operatoinal of the local clubs.
I'll tell you what is shocking though from this thread- McLean leadership makes that same kind of money when their work led to the anihilation of a soccer club that had been around for 20+ years. Let's be real about pay for performance- these leadership people were asleep at the wheel. They gave up their top 200 players and top 12 teams--willingly. They gave up voting rights and decision making. They enabled a takeover without regard for club sustainability. In any other company leaders with that type of dismal performance would have been managed out due to poor performance and abysmal negotiation. Against that backdrop, Arlington salaries are a real steal....
