SG was a big problem for GPS/Legacy. Think of the millions that they spent on legal fees by suing everyone. Where did all the money go from parents' payment? Legal fees.
I see his latest tweet is about how GPS abused the J1 visa program and that the people they brought over on that were coaching and underpaid. Well, he was CEO when that was at its peak. Did he not know? He had 3-4 people in HR. What were they doing? Is he going to pretend that he didn't know that these staff members were coming over and getting underpaid and coaching? Did he never look at payroll (since according to his book he was always skeptical of things at GPS)?
What about the email that was sent to management outlining the poor treatment and poor housing conditions for coaches? Did anything change? Was anything addressed? No, nothing happened. The only result of that was the IT person sending the email, originally only sent to a hand full of people, to everyone in the club saying 'do not respond.'
I know SG likes to paint himself as this fantastic person, but reading his book (and looking at his stream of tweets where he just promotes his book on anything remotely related) it seems he got into Legacy because he is as greedy as the rest. How else could you explain away the countless times at the beginning of the book where he said, 'this didn't look good/this didn't feel right/I didn't agree with how they were doing this/this was a red flag' but still took a job at the company because he saw their revenue and dollar signs. Why else would an investor get into youth soccer? To make money.
Everything that he says in his book at JB, PB, AP, etc. it is all true, but the guy makes no responsibility or blame for the goings on at the company during his tenure as CEO.

Very well said, he puts the majority of the onous on the VC Firm and Board of Directors at the end,
Does any CEO type person ever talk themselves down a book they wrote especially if they are not of retirement age, never....

All these guys criticizing SG are just SB guys trying to deflect and slur. You'll be going down with him.
