Is this official? If it is true, is he actually staying with the club? If they hired someone to be league director who is also employed in a leadership position by a club in the league at the same time, that is a giant mistake.

NEP has been making giant mistakes for years.

Blocking teams from NPL and not letting Surf in was a terrible mistake. Great job SSS...

BA and LL feed each others insecurities. A match made in heaven. At the end of the day they have created a movement that is determined to see them both fail. I for one can�t wait to witness their demise. Neither one of them gives a hoot about young players. It�s all about money and ego.

BA and LL will end like BA and FM.

Running a league that your own club plays in is the conflict of interest. Great soccer guy I agree but how can you say that it wouldn�t be a conflict?

Question all the Broad members are from clubs in the league is that a conflict? Not sure why it matters who runs the league the broad votes on everything. They pick who gets hired and if it doesn�t work out they vote to fire that person.

I�m not sure why this is even an issue? The teams that are playing here are all 2nd and below teams or clubs that have merged with bigger clubs.
Can I just point out how funny thing can change in a few years. NEP was started by a few big clubs that left maple because they weren�t happy with the system. So they started a league that focused on development rather than wins and losses. The league was based on region with less travel. Now I guess that�s wrong and we have the alphabet soup of leagues and of course they are better.
NEP will be fine. Worst case for them the open up to more clubs.

What was wrong was the territorial disputes where the sole purpose was to protect Profits. Existing bigger clubs used their positions to block teams from entering NEP and NPL. This resulted in clubs leaving to join EDP. NEP probably lost 40% of the teams. GPS=Surf and Juventes, Seacoast/ former FCUSA teams, WP, SPOL, bunch of Valeo kids to Surf, NEFC teams to Surf, will cripple NEP/NPL. It�s a shell of itself. Great model that became way too political

Does it really matter how many clubs/teams there are in a league? As long as the league is competitive and the kids get to play their 7 or 8 games season, within reasonable driving distance... all should be good. Quality vs. Quantity.

Agreed. Not to mention the made up 40% threshold. Plus it is not like New England EDP conference is bursting at the seems. Some age groups are looking at only 4 or 5 teams signing up for Premier 1.
