Sunil Gulati has been in charge of the USSF for twelve years. In that time, the national men's hasn't really improved, the national women's team has remained really good but has had a bad 18 months or so, MLS underwent its rapid expansion but that really didn't have much to do with him, and the women's club game has stagnated because Gulati is obsessed with needing a league that has MUH NATIONAL FOOTPRINT. He's started to implement academy and league standards, but with respect to the league standards they appear to be completely optional and are enforced based on...who knows??? They've also changed slightly each of the last 3-4 years. I mean, he pulled the "Provisional Division 2" designation straight out of his rear end and handed it to both the NASL and the USL after the USL threatened to sue. So, he's been bringing in money for a dozen years and that's about it. Crazy Ted fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Oct 11, 2017 |

Mr. Mambold posted:You mentioned in the other thread that the league needs an oil billionaire to dump 100 mil into a team. If I recall correctly, that's the asking price for a new franchise just to enter the league. So they've got some big money hosses already. The deal now is they need to release the clubs from total hierarchical control, imo, let them spend more cash on world class players. I think it's sustainable. Now? There's really no reason for the structure to exist anymore. It stopped needing to exist once the majority of teams had control over their own venues. It stopped needing to exist about ten years ago.

LOL that Arena had to wait two and a half days and resign instead of being fired by Gulati on the runway in Trinidad.

oliwan posted:Oh yeah the referee thing is another thing that I don't get. Why do youth and amateur teams need "certified" referees? I played in a Sunday league in Holland for like 20 years and the referee was almost always just some dude from the hosting team or a dad in the youth games There's a friend of mine who made thousands of dollars a year reffing youth hockey in Minnesota because the parents were such cocks that nobody wanted to do it and all of the youth organizations had make reffing wages hilariously high in order to find a pool of people willing to do it.

Wouldn't that be because you aren't legally an adult until you're 18 in the US, but in many European countries it's 16?
