    So you are leaving one bad club to go to another bad club?

      With PDA having two ECNL clubs, Match Fit having ECNL and Cedar Stars and SJEB having GDA, along with a number of smaller clubs getting GDA at the younger ages, you won't see kids coming over the bridge to play at PA ECNL and GDA programs. There is more than enough opportunity for kids in NJ. PA is a much different story now. The FC Delco girls program won't have the numbers to run any type of quality going forward, and FC Bucks need to make changes or else they are going to continue to struggle in their current shape.

      As for Match Fit, Cedar Stars have made an impact in the area running lower cost programs. Match Fit are surround by clubs of greater significance or lower cost, so it's a tough market to compete.

        Zero teams from FC Bucks ECNL will qualify for any of the 3 levels of the playoffs.

        One FC Delco ECNL team will qualify for the B level playoff spot.

        These two clubs are a mess!

          I wonder how Manella and Fehrle are feeling about how things are going at the club? We haven't heard the plan on how they are going to fix this mess going forward.

            Have you ever heard anything from Manella and Fehrle? It’s not like they have ever communicated anything to anyone ever. Why start now?

              If you ever reached out to them directly you got a response. If you are really that unhappy leave.

                We have reached out, many of us have reached out!! Problems in direction and coaching have been brought to the attention of these guys! These guys have NO idea what they are doing and it shows. Replace these two! Do a national search for real club directors. More than enough money to pay these two clowns and we get nothing! We are at an all time low as a club, and there is a direct link when these two picked up greater roles at the club. Players and parents no longer want to be at FC Bucks, and we can no longer get top coaches because they don't want to be here either. We still have so much potential, but we can't afford to drop any lower. Lew Spiewak, please take action!

                  Lew is the freaking problem.

                    I agree, but Lew doesn't want to deal with heat, he doesn't really want to deal with anything! Put pressure on him and he will do whatever he needs to do to get the pressure off him, and in turn, do the right thing. He is no doubt part of the problem right now, but he could fix the Dan and Chris problem before the 2019-20 ECNL season. It would not be hard to bring in good people to run the club. It is easy to see the potential. It won't be hard to get the club back to where is once was not all that long ago.

                      Here is the issue in a nutshell. Lew answers to the BOD. The BOD is more interested in the CRUSA brand then the FC Bucks brand. They have no clue how to market the top of the pyramid. Just take a look at the crappy website.

                      They arent really doing a good job developing players at u9, u10, u11, u12 etc... How many kids who came up in the CRUSA system are actually playing on the ECNL teams? Deep Run saved them but that well is drying up.

                      Get rid of Lew and let the new ED decide the fate of the others.

                        Lew answers to the BOD. Guess who’s on the BOD? Lew, Manella and Fehrle. See what is going on here and why change will never happen. First step would be to create a truly independent board. No DOCs. No ED. And no current coaches or assistants on the BOD. Then change could happen.

                            Any word on the fate of Delco and ECNL next year? Just wondering where to look as far as moving my kid in the near future.

                              FC Delco is still in ECNL for 2019-20 season. You should go to the ECNL website and check for yourself.
                              Here is a link to their conference map for next year.

                                FC Delco won't be around on the girls side for long. They are at the bottom of the league now and players, even entire teams, are leaving in large numbers. Tryouts were poor this year, very few new players came to the tryouts. Many players on current teams shouldn't even be playing in the ECNL. The club has become a total mess and will continue to with the people in charge. Unless they merge with a large club with a feeder system they have zero chance of lasting long. Don't waste your money on FC Delco, there are far better clubs in the Philly area.
