New Strikers DOC

According to TFA parents and some LAFC parents , WD was not happy with PW and his antics and behavior on and off the field. WD was seen in both LAFC and LAG offices having meetings but chose Strikers FC . WD was the face of the TFA and losing him has been a big blow to PW (reports have him crying shedding tears at the meeting when talking about losing WD) He has had the 05s ranked in the top 25 on top drawer as high as #5, we all know about his 06s they have been #1 and he was taking over the 07s which he lead to the finals of Man City.
Strikers are the winners in my opinion on the musical chair movement of coaches and who here wouldn't move jobs if they offered you more money at another location? Maybe PW should of thought about compensating his most valuable asset instead of losing him to another academy. But with any story or lie or chatter the only two that know the truth are PW and WD .... lets wait and see what else happens in the up coming weeks.. Who is PW gonna get as a coach for the 06s? if its someone they don't like who stays and who leaves? LAFC recruiting machine will be at full force now trying to dismantle the team that has stopped them over the years... Can LAG pull off yet again another team from PW and rebuild an age group that is clearly one of the worst within their club? Who follows WD to Strikers????

Strikers Irvine is now Strikers FC. Its the same headquarters for the DA but just renamed Strikers FC.

So what changed? Irvine chapter has always controlled DA.

Not signally out Strikers but IMO one of the flaws or somecomings of the affliated system has been is that one chapter or branch makes almost all the decisions on the higher level teams and many kids, teams, coaches have no chance or say in the matter what so ever.

The affliated sports the da, ecnl or whatever logo but how often do any of those ... North, South, etc players or coaches end up or even get a try out or are included in the process. Almost like it's just lip service. Like to see more sharing or cooperation among affiliated as related to the parent club.

Well I believe just the name changed. In terms of the structure of the club, it appears to remain the same. I'm not entirely sure what the problem of having one "location" be the headquarters for higher level play (DA)? It's not like the people at Strikers North or South are unaware that they are not in charge of the Strikers DA. I know Strikers FC has brought coaches over from over Striker Affiliates to coach DA.

As far as players go, most of the Strikers academy players come from affiliates so it appears there isn't a lot of disconnect.

There is absolutely no relationship between different strikers clubs. It is strictly the strikers logo and name that they are using for a fee being paid to the Irvine Strikers. No legal or any other significant affiliation exists among them.

Ok, so what? I guess I’m having a hard time understanding what you’re actually arguing about? What is it with the way they are structured that bothers you so much?
 
Not arguing. Just correcting the previous post about "Branches & Chapters". Just look at MV Strikers, how they easily changed their name to "OC Surf- MV". It wasn't a divorce of a Branch or Chapter, it was just a name change.
 
Lets see if Wille will have the same success at strikers. Keep in mine that the talent he had at tfa is by far better then the talent at strikers. TFA is a fully funded program that gets the best hispanic talent. Now he is going to coach OC players who play soccer not futbol! Lol


How come Wille was recruited by galaxy or lafc. Maybe because he is basura!!!!! Words he uses to describe players.
 
Who was the last DOC? Can't recall them having one for a number of years.

Strikers Irvine always seems have some outstanding younger teams but once the get to DA olders not so much and can't remember last time any of the u18 teams even make the playoffs. u16/17 every once in a while like this year they make the playoffs but never get a whiff or close to the championships in any of age groups so they have some disconnect at the older groups.

Some of the older affliates do very well but those players and coaches don't seem to get included or want to in DA system. Like @JPS says far as I know there is no sharing or relationship besides renting a name/jesery among the affliates and parent club which is unfortunate IMO because they could put together great olders teams if only the could find a way to coordinate & cooperate and share a common style of plan & training among teams so players could easily move around of needed.

Well I'm bias because my son plays for their younger squad. I agree that the youngers are always good, I'm not sure where the results turn for the older DA because I haven't gone through that yet. I do think there is a misconception where Strikers get their older DA from. Lots of them do come from Striker affiliates, not all of them are from the irvine chapter.

Roy is the DOC and I believe WD will be working together with him. As far as talent goes it is different from year to year For example, the TFA team in my sons age group is weak and con't compete with the top 5 teams in that age but the next year down are dominate. Youth soccer is all over the place in terms of club consistency.

I believe he'll have some success there considering he'll be bringing his talents to the southern section where the talent isn't quite as as per @SoccerGeek suggested. It probably is Strikers hope that he'll be able to get them over that huge hill that has kept them from capturing that elusive championship title their 06 squad has been seeking to obtain but, seem to always let slip away...Showcase, League, Man City... If he can reach the finals against his old team, he'll at least have an advantage as to how to match up to them...maybe

Looks more like WD is still doing more for TFA by leaving... Things were getting a little stagnant there and a change will probably benefit both parties. Who follows WD ? Probably the ones who get cut. Team moving to Galaxy... As bad as they have performed in this division, not likely. With the new Captain at the TFA helm, MG inherits the #1 Team in the Nation with the 06 squad and with his contacts can fill holes that may need filling with up to or better than par talent. Believe it or not TFA 06 may have just upped the ante in their division. Everyone knew PW wasn't gonna just sit there and do nothing because unexpected incentives are a great motivator...
 
MG inherits the # 1 Team in the nation but is he a good enough coach to keep them there ? My friends at Pats think he will do more harm than good at TFA.

Sorry for asking, but is MG mentioned to take over TFA 06 once part of Chivas USA organization, Pats coach, Legends coach, recently Pats coach???

Inquiring minds want to know :) .......

If it's the same MG I'm thinking it is, TFA should be fine, if NOT better with change IMO.......

It's not MGomez
 
Mario Gonzalez will be under lots of pressure to maintain a team that is constantly being recruited by LAFC and LAG... I also hear from my friends at Pats that he is a hot head on the sideline and can more of a negative than a positive.... PW was desperate to find anyone with a B license to coach this team ....

Big level change from UFC (can’t shed who they are) to clubs mentioned. Amazing how much coaching talent, and local so cal coaching staples, have gone down through that club. Real shame

The GPS deal didn't work out for them I guess, morphing into the InterSocal concept was interesting but now that MG and Chili ( Spain) are gone wonder how things might work out for them?

The dual directors: WD & RC for Strikers is interesting, I guess one is going to focus more on the youngers and the other olders but anybody with more info please chime in.
