you mean the affiliation with everton connecticut or the everton UK parent club? does it really matter - what do they get from everton. Would it be any different if they were simply FC Westchester.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCertainly the CT club doesn't want to give up the affiliation because it's a pathway for their better players to move into. Otherwise they'll lost players to Beachside (another non MLS DA club nearby). Everton CT first hired John Curtis a few years ago who did a lot for both clubs and helped the merger happen. He also brought in Ryan Casey and a few others. But now he's been gone for awhile and RC went home as well. I think the CT club has the rights to the name. Does the "Everton" name bring FCW anything? HArd to say. But now they have NYCFC in their backyard so I suppose some appearance of an affiliation, even if mostly on paper, can't hurt.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou would think the real Everton in England would want to get a foothold in the USA and get involved with these two entities here in NY and CT. For awhile there, I thought there was some interest in overseas clubs to have a base here in the USA, considering there were potentially millions of soccer fans here. I guess I was wrong.

"Everton America is a premier soccer club of approximately 30 teams, based in Norwalk, CT. We are the only soccer club in the United States with an official relationship with Everton Football Club of the English Premier League."
Lots of premier teams call themselves Arsenal, etc. but they aren't officially affiliated with an international club.
Question is what is going on with FCW. NYCFC has to be hurting them. Too many DA clubs in close proximity?
