As Joseph Bradley, former president and CEO of Global Premier Soccer, faces a federal investigation concerning improper work visas used by the youth club’s coaches, a civil lawsuit has been filed in a Massachusetts court accusing Legacy Global Sports of not paying over $3.7 million as part of an adjusted purchase agreement stemming from their October 2016 acquisition of GPS.
The latest developments arise after New England Soccer Journal learned of various accounts from former GPS coaches who accused the club of irregularities with immigration paperwork and providing poor working conditions.
Excessive hours with disproportionate pay and living in overcrowded conditions were both cited as concerns, with GPS coaches often arriving from the United Kingdom.
