JB Frost is an attorney (IP?), not an investment banker. There's a lot of rumors and wild numbers being thrown around. I would say, however, that if coaches were paid late then that's a big warning flag as to what's going on internally with the finances. This split was the result of fractured leadership at the top of the club...split was inevitable.
Because he is the Regional Manager of the new club.
Who is?

I'm sure, like UK Int'l, they hire young and cheap coaches to come over from the UK and run camps and training programs (often to aid rec programs where the coaches are volunteer parents).
Steel Sports is based in Hermosa Beach and owns a majority stake in UK Elite.
It also may not be coincidental that Tim Summiel spent probably a decade in New Jersey as a youth coach and an assistant coach at Rutgers men's soccer. He also ran a tournament organizing company and a separate training services company.

Youth soccer sometimes reminds me of Fyre Festival (for those who know about it or have seen the documentary). Clubs (and the people in charge) are able to run entities into the ground and just move on to start something new. I find it all very bizarre although of course, I'm not blind to the fact that the driving force behind all of it, always, is $$$.

When it rains it pours, literally today. Have not had a chance to reply to any of this, but there is a lot to siphon through. And, appreciate the vote of confidence.

Our club accepts various forms of payment. And we are happy to work out a payment plan.

As my son was in their program there certain expenses I was wondering hey why can’t The club cover those, Coach could t give me an answer so I reached out to Michael Quigley this was he’s response. “is the coach of the team he is your first point of contact and can answer the questions do you put forward to me. When you reached out to me I reached out to him to get back to you on your concerns. ( I had no issues with the coach or the question where not address to him because he wasn’t the director . Those question where expefically to him the director, kind you I wanted to have a phone conversation or in person chat denied that too)I would want to know why these coaches weren't paid. LAGSB is one of the more expensive clubs charging upwards of $3k a year. Where did the money go?!!
The club dues cover coaching cost, field costs for trainings and league games, registration fees, league fees, insurance, administration costs. The team fees are separate and cover additional team costs such as additional tournaments, scrimmages, team bench or tent, referee fees, coaches expenses.

Pretty much they knew what they where going to do all this time they where just dragging all the teams and not focusing on developing thebkods from the get go!
As professional as their coaches lol.

Are the typos from his email or you? Without wanting to come across rude (I make lots of typos myself), it's very hard to understand what is being said here. If you could clarify what was written it would be helpful. Thanks.
Of all the affiliates, South Bay has had the most success in pushing kids to Galaxy Academy. Can think of at least a dozen players off the top of my head. Some have moved on from Galaxy to other academies or back to club, but quite a few still remain. Plenty of people slamming the club and their coaches here, but a few of their coaches are legit and have done a good job of developing some talented kids.

I completely copied and paste the emailed what he responded. I only wrote the part in parentheses and end.
That would be me. ELC may be referring to me because I don't hide what club my kids play for. And, I am one of those parents that has paid, which he knows and many of the parents on here know, with the exception of you.
Thanks for clarifying the JBF issue.
There is a lot going on and both sides of this situation are trying to handle it. I don't know whats going to happen in the near future, but hope it all works out.
