from the looks of ringer, i would say some ladies at the local strip bar received some substantial coin......

I agree with ringer issue its surprising how much this big soccer clubs charge there players just enough to pay coaches an extra income and enough for ringer to live off of aswell. Its a shame how someone like ringer can steall money from kids like that. Its also surprising how parents agree to pay this soccer clubs that much money to have there kids benched so a better player can play with the benches players money. Ive seen it so much, well heard it from many parents that have been in big clubs they pay upto $2500 and there kid gets put in da field 5 minutes. Hey lucky the ones dat do know how to play. Me and my son are new at this but ive heard so much from parents here and there, that have already been in those clubs. I hope my cjild doesmt get put threw all dat bench situation

uh, dat is not a real word unless you are presenting at the hip hop awards banquet........

Steve Rice was convicted and did jail time in the 80's for embezzling from North Texas State Soccer Association. The bookeeper for the Lightning pleaded a deal (I believe) 00's for embezzling.
Why is Mr. Ringer not being criminally charged for embezzling?

Or unless you last name is Nguyen, perhaps.

I agree. I am learning more and more about these clubs and the more I hear the more I am very put off. If this man is truly guilty of such theft what amazes me even more is the lack of common business sense in not having any checks and balances system in place all this time so one individual wouldn't have all this power or sole access to the money. But hey if Solar wants to regain some of its cash back to build its own fields might I suggest a book or movie deal. This organization has all the makings of a bestseller from what I hear. Now this? Crazy stuff.

Do all the clubs have a checks and balances system in place? Makes you wonder about all the other clubs. How can we make sure our club dues are not maintaining our bb's club 'ringers' lifestyle? It is our money after all!

Make sure an outside audit is done once a year and bond all who have bank account access.

I wasn't even planning to charge him to do it...Now we all know why he had no interest!

We are moving to the Frisco area. I have two boys, ages 8 and 10. We were interested in the Solar Club. Very concerned and confused about which club is best, after hearing horror stories regarding Solar and Andromeda.

To my knowledge Solar is hanging in there unlike Andromeda is pretty much off the map after their last governing board pooched things.

FC Dallas Youth has several 02 and 01 teams in the Frisco area that might be worth checking out.

Not sure if Liverpool has teams in your area but might be another viable option perhaps.

Others may chime in also, Good Luck ridley

Solar is fine financially. The problem with Andromeda was they had a very large facility with a heavy debt load. Solar doesn't have that situation. They have one facility in the McKinney area that is 100% owned and paid for by a 3rd party. The money that Ringer allegedly used was money designated for a brand new facility, not operational funds.

So in a sense Ringer saved Solar from making the same mistake Andromeda made. Just kidding.....

Are you trying out for his defense team? In the Charlie Sheen thought process - Solar owes him more money as he prevented the destruction of their club.
