What's the appeal of being transferred to a high tier club in Eyrope if you're never going to play in regular matches? I guess you get paid more to just exist?

That is definitely A Choice, and they were really looking like having turned a corner too. Honestly I can't think of who has a hot seat right now. Maybe Savarese or Vermes but they've both been around so long they must have a lot of rope. Sartini and Pineda have been utterly cursed by injuries, Neville seems to have figured out that Higuain was the problem, Losada and Almeyda have already been fired, Toronto and Seattle are clearly just Waiting for Summer...who else?

If you're still young I'd wager there's also a thought that better coaching and higher level competition/squad in practice/peers can help ingrain better habits early.

There's been speculation but it's mostly been in podcast or substack form (this is the most recent I've seen). I don't think MLS is going to get the one-stop shop they (or maybe just some fans) dreamed of when they told all the teams to ensure their local deals expired this year, but it seems like some combination of ESPN/FOX/Apple TV are still in the mix somehow. I still struggle to believe they're going to get the hoped-for massive increase in revenue but dude seems optimistic and I've seen TV execs do dumber things in my life.

I don’t know if this was news already but I just went on the MLS website and apparently the new streaming partnership is a 10 year deal with Apple TV+ which includes league cup matches as well and some of the MLS next development league stuff. Apparently if you have season tickets to a team you get it as part of that. No blackouts at all.

Apparently they're still negotiating with TV stations but there won't be any ESPN/FOX/whatever exclusives, the Apple service will have Every Game, Everywhere, etc. Some highlights from an industry news article: quote:MLS still is negotiating with linear TV networks, including ESPN and Fox. However, those games would not be exclusive to the broadcasters; they would simulcast with Apple. MLS execs said that Apple is not paying a straight rights fee for the package of rights. Rather, Apple is paying a minimum guarantee that sources say is worth $250M per year starting in ‘23. MLS will start to bring in more revenue as Apple sell subscriptions for a newly launched MLS subscription offering. There's a lot of good things here, though I selfishly hope TSN will at least keep broadcasting the Canadian teams so I don't have to rejigger my subscriptions AGAIN. Guess that's it for my DAZN sub if they're losing both the PL and MLS in one year. Dallan Invictus fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Jun 14, 2022 |

10 years is way too long, they are getting screwed by the end of that deal. Glad we're getting the free access again for season ticket holders, that was nice with MLS Live. Most games being on Saturdays will be really good, although that means either the season is going to be extended yet again, or they'll play through the international breaks, since there is no way they are reducing the number of games.

Based on that article that Dallan posted it sounds like the amount they’re getting paid is going to scale based on subscriptions sold and the $250 quoted is a guaranteed minimum apple will pay, so in theory if MLS can scale this they do better too.

That's under the assumption MLS viewership grows over 10 years, which uh, isn't really guaranteed considering the needle hasn't moved much in the previous 10 years. Getting more money than La Liga, for a product that gets less eyeballs, that's incredible work from big Donny

The share of revenue over 250m actually makes that a really good deal then, especially it's a reasonable percentage. I of course didn't bother reading the article, I just saw 250m/10 years.
