OCYS Consolidated Thread

What a p-ssy you are. You should thank us for DA ECNL FPL etc etc etc. GB is a p-s-y.

never a truer statement. I simple Thank you from OC but instead more spin and games.

New DA coaches is the beginning of a soft Bye Bye to the many pretenders at OC.

Beckham says we will fund our own business and stadium. We own the business so it would make perfect sense. " We are NOT looking for public funding or Tax Incentives "

I'm not arguing. I'm stating facts. Your claim that no one wants to prevent OC from providing whatever program they want is incorrect. Nine Clubs in the Coalition objected to the OC proposal. They also objected to OC starting free soccer programs for underprivileged kids even if they are at local schools. Here is the quote again, since you keep forgetting what it says, "These programs, if implemented, should be held on school grounds and existing clubs within 15 miles of the schools should be given the opportunity to provide these programs." They are opposed to OC implementing a program at a school in the South OBT area, for example. The Coalition says that if such a program is implemented, they want to be paid to provide it.

^^^ If you're explaining, you're losing. But please, by all means post more spin and argument. But the one thing you keep avoiding is the simple fact (since you seem to think you are the Keeper of Facts)- the County Commission REJECTED OCYS' "plan". OCYS had to retreat.

Go ahead, though- reply yet again with more bluster.

"Orlando City SC announced today the hiring of former Elon University Men’s Soccer Head Coach Darren Powell and former University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Men’s Soccer Assistant Coach Jeff Negalha for the Orlando City Youth Soccer (OCYS) U.S. Soccer Development Academy (USSDA) program."

Orlando City SC is the pro club. DA is being funded by the pro club. These coaches are OCSC employees. If OCYS significantly raises their fees, they will lose players.

The fees for OCYS Academy U11 - U18 are similar to FKK's Select. Uniforms are more expensive, but it looks like you get more at OCYS. U11 - U18 Competitive Rec is the same as FKK. U9 - U10 Competitive Rec is $20 more expensive at OCYS per season. Little Lions Rec is cheaper than FKK's First Touch. U9 - U10 Academy at OCYS is more expensive. U7 - U10 in house rec is less expensive at OCYS. So it looks like a lot of the programs the "peasants" are in at OCYS are similar to or less expensive than the same programs at FKK. If the "peasants" at OCYS are helping fund DA, what are the "peasants" at FKK helping fund?

Do you really believe there's no comingling of funds and management between OC and OCYS? Then why is it all we hear from OCYS is about "Phil and his deep pockets"? why does OCYS marketing EMPHASIZE the connection as though OC/OCYS is a single entity?

can hardly wait for the Marketing spin of MLS academy system. Folks this model is not working. How many players have the RedBull Produced? African players is the key. Your child will be used for the development and fine tuning of a few.

Home grown my ass. OC signed an FC America boy with a ton of talent and athleticism.

6 foot 2 inches already on the U17 National Team. " Wow gee wizzzz look what we discovered. This whole deal is a joke… Who are we kidding…

This young man was playing for a club in Chicago after his time with the U17 national team. This young man did not even what to play for our local DA. This young man has NOT even played one game in a OC jersey and OC is claiming victory.

Sounds familiar OC you have a knack of claiming ownership and victory. Spin Spin Spin OC your only fooling those parents that haven't a clue…..

To be fair, TE was already on US U-17 when DA got here. Don't think it was a matter of him not wanting to play DA here.

You "forgot" to answer my question. Fees at OCYS are similar to the fees at FKK. If OCYS is overcharging the peasants to help fund DA, what is FKK overcharging their peasants for?

OCYS may increase their fees next year. If they increase them too much, they will lose players. I'm not sure why you are concerned about that, since that can only help your club. If people are willing to pay a premium so that their kid can have an MLS patch on their uniform, what difference does that make to you?

Surprise

Darren Powell is a fellow limey. Yes, another fish and chip mafia member.

He maybe a great coach but the constant need to fill the ranks of OCity with Englishmen is becoming so repetitive.

God save the Queen!

If he played against any of the FSA,FCA, CFK, GOU, Rush, OCYS teams or with any of those coaches than YES, We can say we helped develop this player into the player he is today. You my friend are just a downer. He went other places for exposure and competition because maybe the national team coach is in Chicago who knows. How many games did he really play there 4 maybe 5 games, yet chicago isn't saying he is homegrown. He had already played for the OC coach at IUS when he was 9 and 10yrs old. What are you gonna do - go and play for a coach that taught you as a baby? NOT. Why do you think the 18 DA roster is now filled with the players coming back from Chicago -New Coaches at DA? AS,CM,AN,BM,JF,NO all players from Vipers.

OK let's have a look- you said:

"The fees for OCYS Academy U11 - U18 are similar to FKK's Select. Uniforms are more expensive, but it looks like you get more at OCYS. U11 - U18 Competitive Rec is the same as FKK. U9 - U10 Competitive Rec is $20 more expensive at OCYS per season. Little Lions Rec is cheaper than FKK's First Touch. U9 - U10 Academy at OCYS is more expensive. U7 - U10 in house rec is less expensive at OCYS..."


Your research, not mine- shows the heart of the program, Academy and comp/rec, is more expensive at OC. Why even argue over this? The bottom line is your program focuses on and sends resources to the DA. you guys brag about your "elite programs" being fully funded, but you're afraid to admit WHO FUNDS THEM. And if you think Phil is writing a personal check, you're crazy.

Fees are "similar"- weasel words.

I'm not explaining. I'm stating facts. "These programs, if implemented, should be held on school grounds and existing clubs within 15 miles of the schools should be given the opportunity to provide these programs." That quote means what it says. The clubs in the Coalition are opposed to OC starting free programs for underprivileged kids that are within 15 miles of their club. The Coalition says that if OC wants to implement these programs, they should be held on school grounds, and a Coalition club should be paid to provide them. If you think that quote means something different, please tell us what it means. Maybe it is in some super secret Coalition code, and I don't have the decoder ring.

I'm not ignoring the fact that OC didn't get what they wanted, and that the Coalition is largely responsible for that. I think everyone is aware of that. I was responding to a post that said, "No one can stop you from providing whatever program you want- but you don't get to profit (from getting preferential field reservations) by it..." The Coalition does want to stop OC from providing whatever program they want, because the Coalition wants to profit from these programs.

thanks for continuing...

The Coalition merely pointed out a position to the County Commissioners. The County Commissioners AGREED. The CC rejected the proposal. OC retreated, and that's that.

You want to go offer free soccer to poor kids? Nothing's stopping you. But you don't get to also monopolize soccer fields under the charade of "helping the poor". You can have a free clinic this weekend in Paramore. Just head on over with the Clown Car and have at it- no one will prevent you.

Your turn. Please keep this topic front and center...
