If it's becoming the norm maybe ECNL or teams that do this should consider running a 2nd ECNL team.
I feel bad for the teams across the entire organization. That woman's antics caused negative effects across multiple teams in multiple locations. The analogy of one bad apple spoiling the entire bushel comes to mind, but the organization has responsibility as well. The Club allowed this selfish coach to take it hostage and demand certain things that were obviously not earned. The lesson is they would have been better off cutting her out of the club (even if they lost teams in Temecula) the instant she attempted to highjack the ECRL hub via politics instead of performance.
I love how you cant print, copy, save or do anything with the league rules.
word is Blues
City has some good teams that are outperforming the league they are currently in. They would do well in the ECNL.
Keep hearing this about this blues/sporting merge. Where is this coming from? The number of sporting team has exploded this past year and David went to blues….
you cant just add a second team. The only reason some clubs have a second team is some deal when DA was dissolved or a club merged or something. You cant just be hey I want to do a second ECNL team. The rules allow it so the Club Directors are doing it now.
I've come to find with this info where there's smoke there's fire... might take years for the fire to start though
If by "well" you consider the bottom mid of league or lower. I'm sorry but the competition between GA and ECNL in SoCal is so far off.
There has been talk about a big ECNL club buying out CitySC to get a foothold in Socal. Nobody specific has been named but it does make sense. Also I haven't heard about City owners looking to sell.
Yes, "well" means middle of the pack.
Sharks joined Legends and are now called Legends San Diego. Since Sharks had an ECNL license, they kept it. I would assume that any club that has a license would keep it.
Why would they need to sell the club to switch leagues or change names?
Correct but you cant just be a club for example like Rebels and say hey ECNL I want to form a second ECNL team. They also had to take over that already formed Sharks ECNL team. I guess they could kick everyone off and make a second Legends Norco team now and still call it Legends San Diego but I doubt they do that.
It's not about City wanting to sell.
This might surprise you but ECNL can do anything they want with allowing teams into the league.
It works because they have independent registrars, coaching staffs, directors, and boards. It is in essence a separate club, with the same logos. They are like independent franchises (ie McDonalds, Subway, Harley Davison). Same thing with Slammers and Slammers Koge; they have completely independent organizations from the Players up to the Directors. So it isn't as if some club has two teams in the League, it is just two clubs with a similar name. Why run a franchise name on your club? Marketing to parents who don't understand they are not the same club. This is why there are so many Surf "Clubs" in the country. There is only one San Diego Surf, only one Legends, only one Slammers, only one South Valley Surf, only one East County Surf, only one San Diego Soccer Club Surf, only one Slammers Koge, only one CDA Slammers, only one Legends San Diego, only one Las Vegas Surf (Las Vegas Hot Surf and Turf is the correct terminology by the way)...etc....
I guess I was just confused about why you mentioned City was not looking to sell. I wasn't implying anyone was looking to buy them; just speculating on who would fill the the Sporting USA ECNL spot when the get booted from ECNL. City would be a great fit, due to all the reasons you listed above.
Agreed. She did this with Legends, Murrieta Soccer Academy, and now Sporting. Hopefully clubs see this and don't hire her.
