I have spoken to parents I know at TB and they know nothing about this. I also called a good friend who used to work with the Strikers and he said he called the new staff and although BD is "in discussion" to "invest" in the Strikers as a partner he has not left TB nor do they expect him to leave TB. So I think all these rumors of him leaving TB are unfounded and people are just trying to stir the pot at TB. Although he may be the main person who handles their college recruitment their whole staff is full of college coaches so I'm sure that TB would be fine even if he left, which I don't think is the case anyway!

Team Boca will be just fine.
Before Bill D'Addio was:
Steve Nugent
Before Steve Nugent was Jim Blankenship.
Why don't you all google those names and just educate yourselves on how strong Team Boca is as a club with their college connections throughout 3 decades. I dare you to name a South Florida Club with that kind've pedigree. Name any. Just one. Do it. Seriously.
Now, do you actually think for 1 minute that IF your rumor is true, that Team Boca did not just get stronger? Team Boca has already WPSL for the girls and now would have a direct link to Men's pro. So, step back for a minute and scratch your chin....
Really? How is this bad for Team Boca either way?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe problem with your analogy is that B Daddio still ran TB even when those others you spoke about were there also. BD has run TB for the past 15 years and has literally been responsible for hundreds of players getting recruited. If, and I say IF he is leaving then it will be a major hit for TB. I don't see anyone at TB that could replace him and dedicate the time that he does to getting players recruited. Who would take his place? P Baker is the likely choice but there's no way with him coaching a D1 college could he possibly commit the necessary time. I don't know if this rumor is true either and sure it would be good for their boys if they were associated with the Strikers but I think if he left his position at TB it's still a big negative at least for the girls side.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThis is exactly right. Trust me there is nobody at TB that can possibly come close to replacing the amount of experience and coaching contacts that Daddio has. Spin it all you want but if he left TB that is a huge loss for the high school age players and you can expect several of them to leave and go elsewhere since their college recruitment program is the only reason they were there in the first place. Rumor has it that he has been completely invisible since tryouts and he's already gone. But I love hearing the TB spin machine trying to do damage control!

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLet me tell you I don't think you have any idea how bad this really is for TB. If this is true, and I heard from someone I know in the Strikers front office that not only is BD leaving TB but he is becoming a major investor - partner with the Strikers. What you're not thinking about is that BD will likely bring TB staff with him and not just go alone. My contact stated that some TB coaches are going with him and you will be shocked when it all plays out. Supposedly there is a planned press conference in August.
Team Boca is fine. Sit tight and watch. Your rumor mongering will be sorted out soon.
" ...I heard from someone, who heard from someone, that has a friend that sell sodas at the Strikers games.....blah,blah,blah......"

WOW! TB has been talking about this guy forever. Now that he is leaving they don't care.? MC is the best in Boca, which is why TB has always been, and will always be , known for its "pay to play" club. Expect a lot of transfers to BU.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYea, yea, yea. Here comes the damage control. The FYSA AGM is this weekend and he is always there representing TB so when he is a no show the truth will come out. I agree with the previous post. BD is very tight with his staff and I would expect him to share the wealth and bring some key people with him to the Strikers. Look for some other key staff to leave TB as well.

Blah blah blah. I guess we will see if he shows up at the AGM this weekend still wearing TB colors or not. All I know is that I've spoken to several TB parents and not one of them have confirmed that BD hasn't left. In fact every one has stated that he's been missing in action all summer which is very rare and they all suspect that it might be true that he's gone. I think it will all come down to whether he can make everyone happy with his replacement! Let's face it, this rumor has been heard by many and not just on TS so if it wasn't true I'm sure TB would have put out some type of statement by now discrediting all the rumors.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYea, since there has been no official denial of an unsubstantiated rumor that means the rumor must be true. Why did I not think of that. You are just so much smarter than the rest of us.
