FC Bucks 2006 ECNL - Girls

[Unregistered]

Wonder if this thread had anything to do with the firing of Manella. I’m thinking the thread, the survey results and the lack of D1 commits were the undoing of DM.

Funny how a certain someone thought writing on this thread was “like yelling underwater like a toddler” and that no one paid attention to what was written on here. Hmmmm.

Goes to show lots of truth on this thread, and the bucks defenders went to great lengths to hide the truth, they must be really desperate now, if RF and BB are the next to go their little Mia’s might actually have a real tryout, and have to make the team on their own - somehow I doubt the new guy will condone a back room deal.

I wrote it. And this did not happen because of the TS idiot. It is business. Frankly that idiot could have screwed it up.

Into the game? He was scouting. He is the Villanova head coach. You know that right? He was at Colgate, Ohio State and Villanova and has been at multiple clubs which doing this.

sounds like this guy moves around a lot

Will the new guy let daddy coaches who have zero soccer qualifications coach their own kids at the ECNL level ? I really wonder if BB had a hand in the hiring of the new guy?

I would guess that if he had a say in his hire then BB will still be able to coach. After all, he's the manager not the coach! And no doubt will say that he fills in when RF isn't there. On paper RF looks like a great coach, so wouldn't be surprised if he keeps his coaching position

Many do especially if assts. Many do an apprenticeship as an asst to learn and then move on. Most coaching gigs have high turnover.

I doubt either one of them had any say that mattered. It was a business decision. They likely knew about it.

You really have no clue about the workings of the soccer world.

You really have no clue about the workings of the soccer world.

In 3 1/2:years; Penn Fusion, FC Delco, Lower Merion, FC Bucks that is not common. He also left Delco because he didn't want to do things the "club way" (and took the whole team, character issue?) now he is expected to lead others. It's going to be fun watching from afar.

Right decision, wrong hire!

Yes I saw they will start doing virtual training and Zoom meeting for all teams shortly.
Pretty cool.

Things are looking up! He will bring bucks back!

The kids need a break from soccer. Nobody wants virtual training and zoom meetings. We all have too much on your plates right now worrying about our jobs.

My kid will enjoy them and it will give her something to do.

It wasn't that long ago, that the morons who defend FC Bucks at all costs said the following when it came to the idea of virtual training and zoom calls with coaches - I hope all of you idiots will be complaining when the club starts to virtually engage its players like ever other club in the nation started to do a month ago.

"Good to give the players a nice long physical and mental break. Especially with what’s going on in the world today."

"Spring soccer is over which means the season is over. With tryouts moving to fall or winter for most teams (no fall season for this age group) it seems to be the right time to give kids a break. These teams won’t be back on the field together until next spring anyway."

"Bucks is worried about the kids and families while all the other clubs care about $$$$$ and not much else."

"You just wrote something ^^ that mattered very little a month ago BUT now matters ZERO with what is going on with the world today. Lack of communication by a youth coach is about as low on the importance list as you can get."

"It’s just crazy that this super dumb stuff is still so important to you. People sick and dying, tons laid off, school cancelled rest of year but some coach still gets you this upset? Wow"

"You right. It’s pathetic. Your kids team didn’t call you or email you some baby soccer drills. Grow up you man child."

"Soccer is over until next winter. Give it a break cry baby. People have much bigger things to worry about now."

"Why would any of this matter? These teams won’t be on the field together until next winter/spring (no fall season at this age). And by then who knows what the teams look like and who is on the team. So these soccer drills and FaceTime is nice but not going to mean anything."

Lots of the players at Lower Merion coming over! Make some room folks

Make some room on the team? or in Joey Baloney's living room?

DM is only the first domino that needs to fall. Next up - RF and BB. Hopefully this McClain guy has enough say to set some standards and rid FC Bucks ECNL of daddy coaches. Although, who knows if this will happen considering BB is the VP of FC Bucks

Wow, so McClain is leaving Villanova?

zero chance of players from Lower Merion. If they leave LM, they will go to PF or back to Delco. Trying to drive from LM to go any place outside that area is a difficult.

all the issues at FC Bucks are easy to fix. things will change quickly.
