    CLW-TBU Prelim Merger Talks Begin

    What does this mean for WFF?

    #2
    WFF has been irrelevant for several years now, not sure it actually effects WFF at all.

      YAWN, this won't get done. Too many people making too much money will kill it.

        A copy of things on this post, which of course doesn't have much credibility being anonymous and without details....

        First, CC won't merge until they are about to go out of business. The same people running have always run it and won't give up control. Otherwise, how else would they pay there bills? I mean, every other club goes through soccer.com but they go through some uniform store with a relationship... their board members have never held an election.... they have high salaries for little work. I don't see it.

        Second, how does this merger make sense? Do they run 2 DA? Or 1. If they run 1, do you think US Soccer keeps only 1 game in town? Or wouldn't that must mean that WFF gets to expand theirs and take all the kids that don't make the combined DA, the way TBU build their DA on CC's leftovers for year.

        Third, TBU is constantly trying to merge with every club, but only if they get control. That might make sense for clubs that do not have DA, but makes little sense for CC.

        Last, if it's true, I hope it fails. The more mergers there are, the less competition there is, which means kids and families lose choice. That's bad for the community and bad for soccer.

              They can’t merge because Florida Premier & the Chargers are already merging

                Never will happen.

                1- egos
                2- Merger does nothing for TBU
                3- they don’t care about what’s best for the kids they only care about $$ and this merger does not make anyone more $$

                    What is the salaries that the DOCs of both clubs make?

                      In order to compete nationally these clubs have to merge . If they could bring in WWF as well then there might be a chance West Florida could actually be competitive . From the business side you would probably be looking at revenue in access of 7,000,000 . Plenty enough for all the boys .

                        TBU will never merge, they will only acquire. They are the big boys in town now and will demand complete control.

                        CC will never merge because they won't give up control (job security) or open their books on who is making money from uniforms and tournaments.

                        FP won't merge because they are in the area that is growing so they will get better organically if they don't screw things up like Wesley Chapel.

                        The only mergers that could happen would be TBU or CC or WFF going after some of the smaller guys in town other than GPS. Liverpool? Dynamo? Celtic? PCU? Oldsmar? Plant City? Fishhawk?

                        The mergers that would make sense is for FP to take over WC and the Rangers to join up with TBU, WFF, CC or FP. Neither will happen because WC's board doesn't really care about soccer (just a soccer camp) and MC at the Rangers would never merge with anyone (especially TBU).

                          Exactly, TBU is not merging with anyone, they will acquire clubs.
                          Right now TBU is larger than CC & WFF combined.
                          As long as the CC hang on to the full DA, my guess is that they will continue the status quo b/c the powers that be like the $$ & control. The girls side at CC is almost nonexistent.
                          Regarding WFF, if they lose GDA after this year (which most people anticipate they will), this club is truly in the frozen tundra of youth soccer. Their boys side is like CC on the girls side, nonexistent.
                          After this year, it is CC (b/c of DA), TBU & Florida Premier as the only clubs worth anything in the Bay Area for older kids (14 & up).

                            What are you talking about? Everything is fine on the girls side at CC just ask EL

                              Heard CC DOC is over 100k...could be just a rumor though.
