Will Sting fire JD?

Would it make you mad if your coach pocketed those fees without any substantiation of where it was going (with proven cash withdrawals)?

Would it bother you if the manager also made cash withdrawals as well without any substantiated evidence or receipts of where it went?

Would it bother you if the amount of those funds could pay for 7 kids though an entire year of select ball or even buy a mid sized car?

Would you be bothered to know that coach lied to and produced false emails from someone who never sent them, nor owned the account to the local governing body in his defense and was called on it at the scene?

Those things would bother me.  Those things supposedly happened.

Now, who to be bothered with?  FC Dallas because that is where it happened?  Not sure - did they know about the money before he left? They certainly fired him for the alcohol issues, et all.

The manager - they were involved in it.  ??  Did it happen on is other teams?  If you are an FCD parent, did you ever pay extra fees? Do you know where they went?

The new club ??  they hired him.  Did they know this when he was hired?  Highly unlikely.  Did they know about the recruiting issues?  Highly unlikely.  Are they backing him now - looks like they are.  So, are they naive?  He probably sold them a good story.

All I know is that I am glad to know it happened and I know if we were to be looking, which path we would not have to go down.  If that is all DD soccer parents take from these postings, that is probably enough.

"bad" people or people with low morals, or whatever some of the postings in this section have described will always "get their own" and usually by their own doing.

After reading this, it seems clear that the current FCD manager and JD are two characters that should be given a very wide berth going forward.

Not just Vegas.  Happened in Orlando the year before, and was warned by FCD.  I have no problem with anyone in Vegas having a few drinks - so long as it doesn't impact the coaching.  Apparently, it did - otherwise, no one would have known.  This is why he was let go.
He seems to have organized Game video's of his teams and expenses for his travel that some parents were pretty unhappy about paying for. That may be the case - where is the support for the costs?  Does he have the receipts to account for even a small portion of the est. $20k??  Hence, the financial irregularities.  He has responsbility for accounting for all of the money - which he failed to do.  NTSSA findings still outstanding on this.  He also obviously pulled a big chunk of his ‘03 team across to Sting.

I can understand that if you're a parent of a DD that got displaced from the top Sting '03 Team in D1 you'd be fairly ticked and I'm definitely getting the impression of a lack of love from the remaining FCD Premier parents. There's certainly a lot of vengeance flying. My guess is from FCD not Sting which is classy.

What about FCD Gold? Does anybody seriously believe they all spontaneously decided to move to Solar exactly on June 1st. I guess if you're going to "follow" the rules you need to do it like Solar. And ultimately, at this point, this is where the NTSSA sanctions were handed down.  A hearing that started one morning and lasted into the next morning resulted in a 2 year suspension for recruiting violations.  Clearly the board felt the violations were egregious to hand down a 2 year suspension in a matter of hours.  Add on top of that the fraudulent emails he produced at the hearing to try and save himself.  In totality, it becomes a question of character that prospective players and parents have a right to know about.

Having a few too many in Vegas doesn't make you an Alcoholic but if you're coaching a Girls Soccer team at a tournament it might not be great judgment. BTW that is absolutely not part of any findings and is complete hearsay. So not sure why it hasn't been deleted. If you need to know a coaches personal life this will matter to you.It is no longer your "personal life" when it impacts your professional life as it did. If you care about coaching, show up to the practices and watch the games.

I'm not from North TX so personally I like a man who enjoys a Pint. Haters be hatin. Coaches be coaching.

LP has some pretty good coaching and people who have been known to consume Tequila. Just say'in. And if it impacted their coaching duites, I would hope that potential players and parents would have the information in order to make an informed decision.

As co-treasurer, did you not take any responsibility or did you just write checks out of your personal business account blindly? Your complete exaggerations is comical. I guess we should expect that from you.

Just a few weeks to go, spend more time building a team around your DD and less here.  

gettingwhipped wrote:onlythetruth, you want to post facts, but you do not have them either.  And I suppose you do, but are just hiding them from eveyone?  why?  or maybe you don't, but can't specifically deny any item I have listed You are a simple puppet of whom? given information. I'm not defending JD or Sting. I am simply calling out the slimeballs like you and the rest of your classless peers that had a part in all this. As parents, the NTSSA did not pursue you, they went after coach and manager. Completely understood.

I just want to be clear and ALL parents looking for a team for their DD completely understand, that you and the remaining parents at FCD Premier are cowards.

Even with no affiliatation to FCD Premier, so which is it?  I am or I am not?  and why slander all the other FCD Premier parents? you are only fueling the fire while they are trying to build their team. Keep it up. Heard from one of them yesterday that said they wished you would shut the h*ll up so I would do the same. If you were so concerned, you would stop coming here with your general denials, and present some facts or a valid argument instead of your vents.

Sickofit seemed to have walked away, you should try to do the same. If you wanted to come on here and make your comment with facts, you would have stopped their, but no. You want to keep on digging. Well, now I am here. Keep posting and I will do the same.

Some say in the PR world that bad publicity is good publicity. Is this the case for FCD Premier?  Honestly, don't care about FCD, FCD Premier, 03 girls, or Sting.  I care that people know the facts.

You are not part of the FCD Premier team, but you know SOOOO much about what happened. Post the NTSSA findings. Please. Or maybe, just maybe, you don't have them. Without those, you only know what you were told.

You keep posting and responding to get the message out there as a concerned parent right? How many times do you need to post until everybody gets it?

Tell me, do the parents at FCD Premier appreciate all that you are doing for them? Do they appreciate you going back and forth with me posting on this wonderful public forum? Ask them, please. I did.

I guess here is the difference - I'm not doing this to make friends or impress anyone.  I am not doing this for the parents of FCD.  I think light should be shown on this whole sordid affair -  if there is bad behavior on any parties affiliated with this mess, it should come out.  Parents should know the dogs they lay down with.  You claim to care so much about what your FCD friends want, and yet continue to come here to vent.

If there are other facts, then why not bring them forward?  what are you hiding and why?

As for my posting - you have accused me of posting untruths and gross exaggerations, but can't make a single example.  Again, I challenge you to identify any fact I have stated that is not true or exaggerated.  You have not done so - becasue you are unable to.

I will take the challange. The way you spelled because is not factually correct. Do I win a prize?

Wrong. The total amount of funds from the fundraiser was $19K.  est. $20k vs. exactly $19k - ok.  and it wasn't a single fundraiser Funds missing or in question is less than $5K.

Please provide more factual accurate information. Again, you do not have anything in writing so all you are getting is hearsay.

Maybe the NTSSA board member involved with your team can provide you facts from his desk. ok - again, back to the whole team thing.  Involved with the team, not involved with the team, make up your mind.
