    Charlotte is definitely going to need its own flavor...

    I see Nashville as the more country-hipster vibe, while Atlanta is more with the international and urban-soul roots. Both have some traces in music.

    Perhaps, food? Money? Laid-back southern hospitality? I don’t know. But there needs to be an identity there that draws fans in.

    What I’d suggest is the home grown flavor. While Atlanta has invested heavily in top talent, it has widely ignored youth development. If Charlotte recognizes itself as the premier place for youth development in the South, it may have a winning ticket there.

    [​IMG]

    Charlotte FC is getting a new team president. Nick Kelly will fill that role, transitioning from his position as the sports marketing chief of Anheuser-Busch InBev to Charlotte’s Major League Soccer expansion team, according to a source familiar with the team’s hiring decisions.


    Per Sports Business Journal, which first reported the hire, Kelly will report to Tepper Sports & Entertainment president Tom Glick, who has overseen the club’s development since the team was announced last December. Charlotte FC is set to begin play in 2022, joining MLS as its 28th club after Austin FC debuts in the league next season.

    Per sources, Charlotte have agreed to acquire two 2022 international roster spots from Nashville SC for a new league record of allocation money exchanged just for a roster spot. The previous record was $225,000 GAM, set last year. The deal will become official during the half-day trade window on December 12.

    As well as acquiring international spots, Charlotte are also working to get green cards for their players to free up those valuable slots. Starting next season, a new rule goes into effect that a player’s status as domestic or international locks at the roster compliance date (just before opening weekend).

    Charlotte are also approaching their Expansion Draft this winter, where they can add up to five players. There will be plenty to choose from.

    Last year, MLS clubs protected 12 players, with homegrown players under 25 and Generation Adidas signings automatically protected. With the U22 Initiative adding more intriguing young players into MLS, clubs will have to preserve some of those spots to not lose their potentially multi-million investments.

    “We’re analyzing every club, try to figure out which players will be available [for the Expansion Draft],” Krneta said. “I think this year will be the most interesting Expansion Draft in the history of MLS.”

    Before long, Charlotte will have the full makings of an inaugural roster in place.

    “We do have eyes on a couple more [players], it looks very promising,” Krneta said. “I think we’ll have some news very soon.”
