Rugby is a difficult example because it works differently everywhere. In New Zealand, every team is a stakeholder in the level above. All Blacks...
Business as usual then.
See, this is the issue. You choose not to debate anything. Why waste my time on you? You just ignore my points because you're too blinkered to...
The vast majority of MLS' value came from the public purse, not expansion fees. Who do you think paid for most of those stadiums? What other...
I got the timeline backwards because I C&Ped it. In saying that, I still feel the point was a valid one. Teams were unhappy for years under the...
The problem is, Dan, there are a lot of posters who've fallen by the wayside. The balance of this board probably changed 8-10 years ago,...
You "know" nothing. You assume, based on your own worldview and biases, just like anybody else. And how many of these I/Os genuinely paid over...
Seriously, you should sell that as a hipster t-shirt. I imagine you get enough traffic to do some merch.
The problem is, people seem to have this idea that there's some virtuous side to this argument. There isn't. Everybody is rolling around in the...
The Football League is owned by its clubs, all 72 clubs own their "golden share" which they relinquish when they leave the league, either by...
Why would it be a good thing to have a opaque, third party-owned league like USL control everything? I'm not saying that having a unified front...
It's an avatar. I'd change it to a picture of you but I'm pretty sure Bigsoccer would block a picture of an arsehole.
Still here basking in the sycophancy of people who don't know you're a joke who can't cut it in the real world? EDIT: I knew you had written...
The only way USL institutes promotion and relegation is with MLS approval and they're only going to approve it if it's destined to fail.
The issue, Falvo, is that the USL were conducting themselves poorly for years. Francisco Marcos ran the USL as a fiefdom from the days it was an...
If they can regroup and sort out the problems, the USL would be the best place for them. Lower travel costs, more teams you can build rivalries...
40m exit fee and they still cling to this amateur status. No wonder... I believe there were also exit fees to leave the Big East, which have...
Alternatively, the USSF recognised that the D2 standards had become a noose around the NASL's neck and the more rope they gave them, the easier it...
Given how the D2 standards have been a noose around the NASL neck, perhaps accepting a move to D3, throwing their lot in with NISA and then...
Yes....?
Depends entirely on your era. When Jeff Astle died 15 years ago, he was suffering from a degenerative brain condition that a neurosurgeon later...
Is there any information about this? I've read vague things on twitter but is there a starter guide to it somewhere?
It's a different club. In fact, that's a very different club altogether. When Benidorm went bankrupt, two clubs tried to fill the void. The...
Also, I have to say, I feel for Gio Savarese right now. The Cosmos dug their heels in with Minnesota and he might be out of a job before Christmas.
Putting my Don Garber hat on, surely it's either Charlotte or bust. What does the Triangle bring to the table? I must admit, ice hockey is not...
