Looks like Miami's four DP problem has been solved and the person who got the harshest punishment is arguably Matías Pellegrini. Can't be moved or traded within MLS, so he is now stuck being loaned to Ft. Lauderdale CF (just on paper, sounds like he's gonna stay training with Miami) until at least the summer transfer window. And Miami is forced to buy out his cap number.
Pellegrini must be justifiably pissed.


edit;
nevermind, I guess Miami is still looking forward to a punishment

Very interesting piece on Atlanta's front office and how their technical director Carlos Bocanegra has treated their coaches over the years.

Five DPs and underreporting the wages of three other players and still finishing 10th.

Keep rocking, Miami.

Also sounds like a couple of Inter Miami part owners want out

https://theathletic.com/2698392/2021/07/09/mls-inter-miami-claure-boasvista-transfer-fees/

quote:

Inter Miami part-owner Marcelo Claure is looking to sell his stake in the club, multiple sources have told The Athletic.

One source added that part-owner Masayoshi Son is also looking to sell his stake in the organization. Son and Claure work together at SoftBank, which Son founded and for which Claure serves as a high-ranking executive.

The sources said that the relationship between Claure and Inter Miami managing owner Jorge Mas has been rocky for a significant amount of time. Claure, who is listed on Inter Miami’s website as club chairman, has not been actively involved in the organization’s operations in months, the sources said. Mas is the club’s managing owner and represents Inter Miami on the league’s board of governors.

Sac's biggest investor pulled out. unless they find another multi-millionaire to bail them out, they're dead in the water
i have to believe MLS is gonna copy NFL in having 32 teams and then lock it from there
honestly surprised Phoenix hasn't put a solid bid in yet and there's rumors every so often about Las Vegas

You know what they say, third fourth fifth eleventieth time's the charm.

At this point, fire everyone and start from scratch.
Maybe buy out the entire roster as well.

Since it's pretty much guaranteed that one of those 3 will win, looks like KC is going to CCL again. Congrats to whichever teams draws them, since Vermes won't play any starters.

Vermes takes CCL seriously, it was just that secondary tournament in the summer that he didn't give a poo poo about.
The CCL in 2019 was what lead to the injury crisis and SKC's worst year since Vermes took over because he refused (and still refuses) to rotate at all.
