Please just pay the coaches

5 months with no pay to the coaches? I hear some parents are even paying the coaches directly.

brutal.

So the club keeps collecting but they do not pay the coaches?

why stay?.....there are plenty of clubs that will pay you.......just take your team and leave.....Seems easy to me

It's not that easy. Summer comes and so is the 75% rule.

yea true....i was thinking more from an Academy perspective.....sucks not getting paid......If I was one of the parents I sure would want my coach paid and would be willing to walk with him

if they are a top coach, just leave. They will be able to find a club that will pay them. Some already have. Same as everyone else, if you have a marketable skill and you feel you are not being compenasated for it then just take that skill to someone who will pay you. If on the other hand you are surviving off the labor of young children then you may need to convince 75% of your young laborers to go with you to make you more attractive.

Does anyone know the facts about the Andromeda finances?

Also sucks for the parents who paid the year in full up front...

yea for sure....I have always worried about paying up front for such a small discount for doing so. You sure realize this is a business once you get into it....

Fact 1 some coaches are not being paid
fact 2 some have chose to go elsewhere
fact 3 You thought you paid the coach, but you pay the club
Personally I think andro will be fine just working thru the kinks of having people who don't know what the hell they are doing. But come on guys, if you lose the coaches you are done as a club and no soccer complex will change that.

Those parents will get there year of coaching. It may not be the coach they anticipated but I am sure andro will get them someone. Maybe the coaches can write it off their taxes as volunteer work

I think you are dead on.

The only hilarious part about all that is to think about that well known coach of ours who last season switched from the Texans to Andro for ...a raise

Oh HE is definitely getting paid. He is serious about his paper stacks and knows he can walk away to most anyplace.

except the Texans. But you should check your info because He is on the same payment schedule as everybody else.

Wow so the special one isn't being paid either? I had heard that "some" coaches weren't being paid, not "all". Things must be worse off than I thought. How long can they go without paying coaches and what coach worth his coaching license will hang around after that?

Foreclosure auction scheduled March 1 2011.

Isn't that the second or third auction already ?

That looks pretty official...
So does anyone want to comment:
-Why this is happening?
-What has the club done with all of the $$ the parents have shelled out?
-What are the club's plans going forward to keep their fields and start paying coaches?

I know that Andro own some of the vacant land that surrounds the club. I'm not sure 100% sure, but it seems that Andro is forclosing on the vacant land and not their training facility. There is no mention of buildings or structures in the doc...

If someone owes you 5 months of service, that's why you stay - not why you leave. Too many variables if you leave - can't really take your team easily (timing of season, possibly lose money if you leave - assuming you have no contract, need 100% agreement to leave before end of Spring season).

I believe most (probably not all) coaches want everything to work out - and it appears to be headed in that direction (but...who really knows?).

The trick will be keeping it together after this year, IMO. I think the facility is what is keeping the coaches/club together - I don't think it's easy to run a club without one, but, good coaches will always eventually get a team together.

Regarding the foreclosure, that's been a monthly filing for quite a few months now - they just haven't acted on it, whomever 'they' is - Clintonism.

With this and the Solar situation, it's been pretty interesting to say the least and I'd assume has great potential to change the landscape of NTX soccer. I do wonder if there will only be FCD in a decade (if rumors of Texans trying to sell to them is true - that was an older rumor, so I don't know where that went).

What is the 'solar situation'?

Quite honestly, I don't see the humor in that. And what do you mean by "ours", last I remember you were with the Comets prior to switching over to the Texans. Regardless, it happens all the time in the real world and money may not have been the only motivation for his departure.

In a nutshell, Andromeda has gotten themselves in a hole and is obviously a poorly run business. The only way out is if the infamous investor comes thru with the promised monies. If that doesn't happen this week as is supposed to, all hell will break loose.

I guess I can see HN, KS, CH, EP & CP in McKinney next week. Maybe I can get a group picture before and after the auction.
