Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 3518430, member: 153"] Totally agree here. Word from our club this morning is that the former DA clubs are looking at forming their own league in order to keep the same practices going. The problem is that the annual $10m subsidy for the 90 clubs in the DA went a long way to defray the cost of top training. The UEFA pro coach I know was earning $26k to coach two teams as a side job. I'm not saying that $$ came from US Soccer but it allowed the club enough flexibility to hire coaches over and above the usual $7k they get at our club. Oof, our club also just built a million+ state of the art facility. When USSF characterizes he decision as one made "with profound disappointment" you have to know they believe this is very bad for the future of US Soccer. I look forward to the Reyna, Sargent, Pulisic, Dest, Weah, etc. generation, and the next 10 years of soccer for the USMNT. I'm guessing that things will look very bleak after that. [/QUOTE]
