Still think Chelsea could use another winger
Snowflake Anerican sports fans can't handle relegation/promotion
The rich getting richer
Juve are having another solid window outside of losing Bonucci
They make all sorts of angry rants about underachievers receiving handouts instead of working harder, but at the same time, they love watching their teams lose 90% of their games (without any consequence) and get rewarded with high draft picks :::
And yeah, I know my hometown teams have benefited from that strategy, but I still think it's ridiculous that fans are happy with their teams losing on purpose. Promotion/relegation would cut that bull @#$@ out immediately

I mean, the thing is, that money would be a short term fix. If fix is even the right word. There aren't enough quality teams to set up a successful Pro/Rel system. Not to mention it'd be a cluster **** to deal with USL and NASL and figure out how to establish those leagues as far as where they sit for promotion. There are so many issues that need to be addressed before a pro/rel system can be successful. And I'd love to see it happen.

Bruh. Take the $4b and figure it out later.

What's the MLS going to do with 400M a year? You think they have any idea how to use that? Lol.Where you from? philly? Cleveland?

I agree the league has been very well run, especially financially. I can't remember if it was posted in here or I saw it somewhere else, but the history of the league and moderating growth to ensure they don't go bankrupt is extremely impressive. I'm not trying to bash the league, but Garber has been funny with the salary cap and I don't think having an influx of 400M a year would help things. Hence they wouldn't know what to do with it. My comment before does seem snarky and dismissive of the league. Lemme rephrase: the MLS leadership would have all this money and nowhere to put it. Let's keep growth slow and steady, not overpay aging stars in hopes of inorganic growth.This is my problem with indescrinately bashing MLS.
Yes, it's low hanging fruit and an easy target for cheap laugh but come on man, I know you're a little bit cognizant of where MLS has come from, and it's operations as a business.
A lot of things MLS can be criticized for, business operations and effective use of capital is not one of them.
Spending that PSG money before he even on the team.well damb neymar
just damn near spent more than Kendrick did on a car for his sister :
Didn't know MLS was that low on the ranking. Even our league is surprisingly #16 on that list.The salary cap needs to go ASAP, at least in my opinion. It's fine when your league is the NBA, the best and richest league in the world (and therefore is able to attract the most talent), but I don't see how the MLS can ever compete with leagues that pay their top talent much more.
It doesn't even have to be a "big 5" league. If I'm an up and coming talent, what incentive do I have to join an MLS team compared to one in the other top 21 paid leagues in the world? I'd much rather join an inferior league while earning more and living overseas, instead of playing for some middle of nowhere team like "Real" Salt Lake. Hell, I'd take a pay cut to play in the J/K League instead of being stuck in a non major metro area MLS team.
I wonder what the ramifications for the stability of the league would be if the salary cap was pulled from right under the league over night.The salary cap needs to go ASAP, at least in my opinion.
