why aren't they in MLS yet ? Because they play in a minor league baseball stadium, and up to this point haven't shown any ability to dredge up the money for a stadium AND the MLS expansion fee.

Recently, they've been playing both sides of the fence, suggesting that they would be enabled by the stadium to go up to MLS, but also suggesting that they might not be interested, since they would potentially be able to rake in the cash in the A-League with their own stadium.

Sounds like a bargaining position to me.

BTW: That was a complete throw away reference, this latest issue had something like four pages of little lists of the best and worst 5 of all sorts of things, and this was buried in the mess of the rest of them.
