There is nothing special or unique about the little kiddie 'DA' at a handful of local clubs. It's just a labelthat gives them permission to play each other 4x a year and play for nothing.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Not surprising that no other 'A' lic coaches at FC want to touch this pooop show.
Unless your on a cultural exchange from brasil and have a family to feed with an american sponsor, then the Timbers will make a little kid DA for you as long as the sponsor pays the frieght. Train wreck LOL.

BSC / NEU style of play
From what I’ve seen, NEU plays more typical American soccer — Lots of physicality and the back line blasts the ball to the front where a lightning fast forward runs onto it. Mid-field sometimes seems almost irrelevant. BSC’s approach utilizes quick passes and technical skill, but from much smaller and slower players. While BSC has some awesome players, they lack the depth to field a full team, so the technical approach falls apart when you have a gap in your squad. Bigger teams like NEU see the weak link and pounce on it. It will be interesting to see how these two approaches merge.Comment

Three of those “A” licenses are from the Ice Age and Gabe not been renewed. Hence the reason why they don’t coach at a very high level anymoreOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

What a load of BS(c).Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
BSC and NEU have the same plan on one thing only. Take all players (generate money), don't develop any player lower than 'A' Team (because they do not care about B teams) and do not monitor your coaching staff. The reason they are trying to sell it with aggressive marketing is because deep down they know its a load of bulls***! If BSC parents fall for this crap they are crazy. Another community soccer club bites the dust. Oregon soccer is going to the wastelands because the people running the clubs are clueless!Comment

A side benefit of this merger is that it seems to have irritated all of the right people.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Was this a “merger” or a bailout? DOC keeping big salary?Comment

Slotted to take home less than DOCs such as Westside's, despite serving what will be the largest club in Oregon.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
NEU has historically including variable pay based on a number of metrics that I suspect United will follow (parent satisfaction survey, financial performance against plan, long-term improvements in the club, and club profile). Pay on the variable component is entirely dependent on performance against those metrics, but to have total comp ahead of other clubs such as Westside, would have to doing very well on each metric and some of them are tough.
If you knew the truth about BSC's DOC's over the last year - how little he was actually taking in and what his family has gone through for reasons outside of soccer - you wouldn't be trolling on Talking Soccer.
