Some competition changes coming next season.

Can't wait to see IFAB shoot down the in-stadium VAR announcement proposal.

The Houston Dynamo could very well be the last MLS team to win the US Open Cup

I guess this is one way to address fixture congestion...

I didn't realize this when I first read the news, but the Canadian clubs *aren't* getting pulled from the Canadian Championship accordingly.

Sucks to be you Canada, you still have to play those extra games.

The exact point of this move is to be noticed and (probably fail to) shame the USSF into fixing the competition.

No movement on "almost every single match kicks off at 7:30PM local" unfortunately.

edit: Portland @ Seattle on Decision Day. That should be...fun...

Joey Saputo just hired the next guy he's going to fire at the end of the year.

DC and Minnesota still need coaches, and for maximum comedy DC should re-hire Wayne Rooney, qtiyd.

"Say, you know how the Timbers organization has been fairly under-performing the past several years and had quite a few people enable/cover up multiple sexual assault incidents? Let's hire one of the people responsible for that!" - The idiots in charge of Sporting KC.

I'd say their fans deserve better, but...no.

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.

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".

Speaking of a mediocre replacement product, looks like we're going to have a US Open Cup format this year where MLS only sorta participates.
