    South Shore Select / FC Boston Merger

    Just saying - it's time to get SSS into the Ecnl. Everyone's partnering up - Fred... Liz... you should have coffee...

    Makes sense, although I'm not sure either could cede control. What might make more sense in short-term is for ECNL and NPL to unify against DA. This will create clear tiering and pathway optimized for college placement. Would also give option to blend Northeast NPL with New England NPL and improve regional alignment.

    Northeast NPL, comprised of ECNL 2nd teams, is now a 4th tier league behind DA, ECNL, and New England NPL (which is clubs first teams, or DA waiting room). 4th tier needs to travel to PHL and NJ for good competition?

      Ecnl clubs npl teams this year would get beat by nep/nec teams. Purpose in joining one of these teams is gone. I honestly really love to know how stars and fc Boston sold these spots.

            Prrstige comes at a premium.

            Why would any club discount for parents that want to pay more?

              Imo - if FCB put the Ecnl Patch on the SSS AP teams, call them 'Scorpions Select' and pushed Ecnl players not making the merged team down into NPL they could be competitive again. With FI leaving their Ecnl is all but completely gutted.

              South Shore Select on the other hand may just end up DA in a year and if that happens, Scorpions is history.

                  Better for these two DOCs to bury the hatchet so they have at least some hope of burying some completion.

                      Bolts should lose Scorpions and bring in Select.

                          Maybe they don't have to get along as much as form a structure where the employees get along, the consumers bennefit and the business has an opportunity to sustain or even thrive all while producing what they may both agree on which imay be developing exceptional soccer players and successful teams.

                            Why would SSS want to merger? Especially with FC Boston who doesn't have anything to bring to the table. Liz needs to find her own way to get the AP teams teams in ECNL. She has to have some way, especially with the 03s being top nationally. And her elite level teams could easily compete in NPL. The club is holding their players back if they stay the way it is but there has to be a better way than a merger.

                              Why would select go with bolts? They have nothing for them. I'm sure there's some sort of contract that the scrorpions keep their ECNL spot. In a perfect world it would make sense to join up. If scorpions/select would just focus on the south shore they would clean up. I think select is really the only club on the shore shore that isn't a satellite of a bigger club. Them again I think LL is content where the club is. She doesnt seem to mind the older players leaving. Let's face it she's not making money off the older teams. It's the u littles where the money is.
