Do you think this behavior impacts negatively on Cosmos recruiting?

Probably will now, that the dirty laundry is all out.

I think as long as te Cosmos are free, his teams will attract new talent. Whether they stay or not will be the question. We opted to not take a spot and reading all the negative posts are happy we went with our instincts.

Where did you go that the grass is greener?

You think is all out?

I have heard the new guy heading the Met Oval has a real foul mouth!Dont know much about Met Oval. How do these so called "Academy" clubs allow this behavior. They are suppose to be the cream of the crop and set exmples. If your cursing, screaming and yelling at your players then maybe USSF needs to take a look at these teams. wow!

That's the problem. Pre-A is US Club, not USSF. It's the same crap all over with the exception of the usual suspects like PDA. I heard FCW has a decent U16 & U18 Academy programs but suck at the pre-A.

Thanks for your comments in this blog. Gosh, that’s quite a pile of dirty laundry! And a real eye–opener for me! I have been there! I've heard that coach screaming at a 12-13 year old in front of the entire squad, telling him he is “a loser, a pathetic wimp” who doesn’t deserve to be on the team. I saw his son being hurt, his nose bleeding and that father/coach yelling at him to get up and play or get the f**k off the field. I saw him being charming in public, in front of witnesses and vicious, vile and vindictive in private. I am actually tired of people using their influence to run down others and would like to have the courage to change the things which should be changed. This is hard and lonely work because your efforts as parents can be discounted. You can be labeled as complainers, babyers, and troublemakers for challenging the status quo.

All suggestions are welcome

Do you think this coach's alleged behavior is due to the fact the program is free?
