From the outside BridgeFA sounds good, looks good, nice uniforms, attractive website, with strong coaching, leadership. Yet, it is naturally difficult for MPSC to give up its good and excellent thing they have established. I believe they have 4 new teams in fall premier league. A fabulous accomplishment for a medium size club. But they don't have to look at it as giving up their club or being acquired by BridgeFA. That would never work. But as both BridgeFA & MPSC have the same philosophy of producing quality soccer teams, it sounds like its a matter of flexibility, negotiation, and open communication to seal the deal. It will now take some ego assuaging and some selfless discussions. The main focus of these discussions should be what is best for the development of the lowcountry youth; and not focused on what is best for me as a coach, a parent or a DOC. If your respective missions are to establish permanent quality soccer in the lowcountry, then the merger will best serve all concerned.
