haha thas just a club team in america that named themselves after an english team. Everton has no reason to help them out at all. Thats like me starting up a club team in my town and calling them ChelseaFCAmerica and then asking Chelsea to help me out. Im guessing they dont have any real affiliation to Everton.

It actually has ties to everton in england. Just last week they had some big wigs in meeting with staff. They were even over for the convention in Philly. Think about it they can't use the logo without permission

I really thought this meant Everton was coming to Dallas to play Club America this summer. Man I'm bummed, because I would so be there....

I think Bullsh*t Bill would love to help you but hes gotta deal with the small matter of a 30m pound debt first.

They are affiliated with Everton in England. They are supposed to have the same kits. They play in the select leagues U-10 to U-19 boys & girls in the DFW Area.

Not really money trouble so to say, it is the guys who own it and run it. They did it as a for profit and they have not shown a budget to anyone, yet the owner opens up a new indoor facility and coaches are late getting paid things have been promised and never close to coming true. Fields are in trouble shape and kids are not getting the most out of it. My kid is not coming back if things don't improve. I think the final straw was when the fired the director of coaching-- I say fired because why would he step down and still keep his teams. They could not afford to lose his fields for practice. Just my two cents

I apologize in adavance...but...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA have you looked at Everton's current predicament? This sounds eeriely familiar. Bill Kenwright and the "guys who own it and run it" won't show a budget to shareholders. The new youth academy is years behind being built and the current academy has trailers as "offices"...of course, they did just re-sod the pitch. Kids get 'recruited' to Everton but once they see our dreadful youth set-up* they think "why would I come to this small-time club and it's whitetrash trailers"! It's a disgrace...and sounds much like the Dallas set-up. :eek:

Do Kenwright/Wyness/Gregg have relations in Texas?

* Not a reflection on Ray Hall...he's done a good job with what he's got.
