So, uh

Yeah I thought all parties involved were happy with the deal but MLS nixed it. I would think Dallas probably wanted the money but MLS is so weird that the selling club probably doesn’t get any money

The league doesn't actually take much money from transfers these days:

quote:

Transfer and Loan Fees
The revenue share from transfers or loans for clubs is as follows:
  • A club shall receive 95% of the corresponding transfer or loan fee revenue from any transaction, after it has recouped all out-of-pocket cash payments made by the club in connection to that player (if applicable).

Usage of Revenue

The club's share of transfer or loan fee revenue may only be used as follows:
  • The club may assign up to $1,157,625 of the transfer/loan revenue as General Allocation Money. In the case of Designated Players, transfer/loan revenue may not be assigned as General Allocation Money. In the case of U22 Initiative Slot players, please refer to the section on U22 Initiative Roster Slots.
The remaining balance of the club's share (if any), and which cannot be traded, will be distributed by the League to the Club as cash.

I think the league was more concerned with things like "this would make us look really bad" and "all of those sanctions probably makes it hella illegal for us to actually receive money from Spartak in the first place".

edit: In actual news, there will be a Spanish version of MLS 360 this season. Wonder what spurred that development...

In more "does any team's front office actually read the news at all?" news, FC Dallas tried to sell Jesus Ferreira (e: in a transfer *he* wanted to have happen) to Spartak Moscow before the league reminded them how loving stupid making business deals with anyone in Russia is and nixed the deal.

If I were Jesus I'd be demanding a trade ASAP.

vvv I somehow skimmed over that line, but Dallas' FO still doesn't look good in this for not immediately shutting that poo poo down.

I have admittedly not paid nearly any attention to the Colorado Rapids, are these good signings or is it just enough to get C38 to not boycott games again and be profoundly mediocre?

Honestly Colorado (and Chicago, in passing) have actually made some good looking signings this time around on paper. So presumably they'll all inexplicably fail to work out or pull a Dante Vanzeir.
