    Susa in advanced talks to take over LI Fury GDA

    Announcement coming soon. PR is on the outs with LI soccer and Susa will come to the rescue as other options PR has tried have failed.

    With PR's new coaching gig this makes sense. The question is how much SUSA is willing to pony up to get it from him.

      If Susa takes over, would they coach the teams?

      And what is happening at Albertson with the ECNL teams then? Is PR exiting from that?

      LI is a mess!

        The other rumor floating around is that GDA doesn't happen in Fall of 2017 for either LI club and it is pushed out to 2018-2019 when they can get it right.

          If this happens, and it's a big if, I would guess that SUSA's "Elite" EDP teams would become GDA teams with their existing coaches and the NPL teams would remain in NYCSL's version of NPL. The part that would hurt is that half the kids on the older elite kids would need to be shifted to other teams within the organization due to the two year age groups for the top two divisions. You would also see a few SUSA coaches scrambling to get the appropriate licensing.

            LM at BOTN is swearing that the discussion is SUSA taking over ECNL from East Meadow. But he has been predicting the death of East Meadow for years so this could just be LM screwing with East Meadow.

              They'd have to at this point. Even if a deal happens, top players are locked into teams already. It's too late and there's still too much uncertainty.

                That seems like a weird guess, looking at standings and such, the NPL teams are much, much stronger except in maybe 1 age group. Regardless, it seems like a long shot at this stage of the game that any LI GDA is going to come out of the gates as a strong contender...

                  National team coaches can have no affiliation with any club. So yes, he is gone. Albertson will still have ECNL, but ECNL won't put up with their crap any longer now that Paul is not there.

                    I'm more familiar with the boys side where the Elite teams are generally better than the NPL teams.

                      Where do you guys come up with this stuff? Slow work day? Players have already committed to the Fury. It's not going anywhere anytime soon.

                        Every year Larry does this at tryout time. It's called FUD - Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt. Also known as Vaporware. He makes this crap up to keep kids from bolting his sponsors after paying top dollar for poor training the prior 12 months.

                        Get real people. PR shares power with nobody, ever! He couldn't even get fields built because he didn't want to partner with the developer. The idea of him selling out to SUSA, Surf or any other sponsor of BOTN is ludicrous.

                          My kids play for Susa and I agree with you 100%! PR is slick, slick, slick and I love/hate him for it, lol. He always "makes it happen" and does and gets what he wants.

                          What people (possibly even Susa personnel) don't realize is that most of the kids who stick with Susa, Atletico, Etc., are not looking to eat, breathe, sleep, live soccer-that's why they stay with clubs/leagues that offer a little more flexibility. So many of these kids are multi-sport athletes for both club and school. Even though soccer is their "top sport" they're almost equally as invested in basketball, track and even lacrosse. Even if my kids were willing to forego HS soccer, I don't think they'd be willing to give up track and basketball.

                            There is truth to this...everyone involved with Fury/Albertson knows something is going on. The problem is they don't really know what is going on.

                              Will they be the Fusa or the Sury?
