I believe this is how the league is going, no way Andi keeps up with it. https://www.dirtysouthsoccer.com/20...7-million-for-a-player-they-might-not-acquire #PleaseSell
You obviously didn’t read the full article. It was clear Atlanta would need to dump a player quickly and to do that the league needs parasites willing to take anything at a bargain bin price to keep the league moving forward. #HauptmanOut
How about this? "buying down one of their contracts" (I believe that is in the article). or Who's says that the league will stop at 3 DP's. Thinking BIG!!!!!
Gee, wish cousin ReWen would say: "Hold my artesian spring water while I grab my checkbook!," but instead we got: "Idiot. We; don't spend a dime to dish out our sadism!, and people still fall for our sadistic crap!" #GoFire #ReWenOut #HauptmanOUT
Look at this little nugget I ran into http://www.yolandaslittleblackbook....an-andrew-hauptman-house-125-million-bel-air/ Buoyed by the ultra-high-end LA real estate market’s relentless (?) optimism (and that crazy Carter family spending $88 million), some folks are going hog-wild with outlandish prices. As Yolanda first heard from our online BFF Your Mama at Variety magazine, there’s a new $125 million listing coming to market in that blue-blooded bastion of Bel Air.
I take it that is $125,000,000 unfurnished. With the stuff in there, furnished would be like $125,010,000. Nope, at the bottom of the article: "So the $125 million price buys you 26,000-square-feet of compound living in a John Pawson showpiece and a Paul Williams classic, all on nearly four acres of elegantly landscaped, prime Bel Air land. And stunning views, yet total privacy! Furnishings included." Is he selling to be closer to his "beloved" Chicago Fire?!? Oh, come on, yolanda's little black book: "The Harvard MBA has a investment banking background" --Seriously? "A" investment banking background????????
This should make Andi happy. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2017...rease-targeted-allocation-money-2018-and-2019
Yes and no. It means he could spend money to improve the roster. It also means we expect him to spend more money to improve the roster because he could . Of course, he won't.
It also says he can take 2019’s TAM and use it to pay down a few and salary in 2018 for a player like Arshakyan. Hauptman “paid” $1,000,000 on a transfer fee for Arshakyan, Hauptman ends up spending zero of his own dollars on the acquisition. #HauptmanOut
I bet this is how we resign Bastian for 2018, use 2.8 million of 2018 TAM and some of the 2019 TAM, play David the Tall's transfer fee, bring down Accam (if not sold), de Leeuw, Kappelhof and Soft feet below the DP line. Whatever is left he'll use towards playing Nikolic's salary. #KeepItOnTheCheap
Well if that's the case then you are right NO CHANCE. Goodbye Bastian, probably the other players that it's going to take spending REAL money to keep. That probably means, Dax, de Leeuw. Accam and Kappelhof #WoodenSpoon2018
After he sells his $120,000,000 house and the divorce is finalized he'll have his own money to spend on the team. Look out MLS once this happens.....
Something we will we NEVER see under Andi's ownership. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2017/12/11/mls-cup-championship-rings-visual-history
