I'm not in the Philly area to watch games and they're horrendous enough that it's clearly not worth paying for MLS live, but what the hell is going on with the Union right now? They haven't won a game since August and Curtin is still in place, so is the ownership just trying to get the team relocated at this point? I'm seeing anecdotes that attendance is abysmal right now, even on nice days.

African AIDS cum posted:MLS TV ratings are abysmal It's probably because there aren't enough commercials. Can't sell a sports product when large corporations, or local small businesses, aren't also trying to sell you something at the same time. The Super Bowl is watched by millions and it has big commercials. Coincidence? Probably. Correlation is not causation and what not.

Piatti's contract is the best deal in the league. Also Giovinco might be underpaid imo Again holy lol that Minnesota has a center back who's way better than another defender making nine times as much money as him.

It's really something that Giovinco makes that much money, I think that's probably more than anyone at Juve makes.

It's amazing that, with Kaka not playing due to injury, Orlando's success so far this season is has primarily been built upon a team that is basically mid-pack in terms of overall salary.

To be fair, Larin is only that cheap because he's on his rookie contract. If you manage to keep him, well, at least his number is going to get go way up.

Looks like David Beckham finally found his ESPN posted:David Beckham's goal of bringing an MLS expansion franchise to Miami is inching closer to the finish line, with banker Todd Boehly being added to his investment group, sources confirmed to ESPN FC. Assuming this isn't further bullshit they might actually pull this off and I'll finally be able to see what bizarre Brand Beckham bullshit he'll bring to his own team, years past due.

Dallan Invictus posted:Looks like David Beckham finally found his Let me play Devil's advocate. This will be at least the fourth potential investor that MBU has been in talks with, since choosing the Overtown location, that we know of; the other three all said 'no'. We know that MBU has been in talks with multiple potential investors for at least a year, some of whom we don't even know the identity of. MLS owners held a meeting this week, one item on the agenda was the Miami situation. The timing of this is not coincidental. MLS told MBU this week: you are running out of time; show us what you got. So, they did. And now we know who MBU is currently talking to: Todd Boehly. Are the talks with Todd Boehly any further along than any of the previous potential investors that MBU talked to? Are the issues which caused the previous potential investors to say 'no' being dealt with, or is this simply going to be a repeat of the past three or more potential investor talks: a public announcement, followed by months of silence, with a quiet admission later, buried somewhere at the bottom of a news article, that said potential investor was no longer in talks with MBU? Because that has been the consistent pattern so far. If a series of public announcements and public agreements are made in the coming weeks and months, then maybe something is finally happening. But if this current announcement is followed up with more silence, then who knows. So far I don't necessarily think this is really news. Beckham has a new potential MBU investor he is talking to; but he is always talking to new potential MBU investors, so is this really news? Is this time really different? If it weren't for the MLS meeting this week we probably wouldn't even know about Todd Boehly, at all. This week's MLS meeting forced this bit of 'news' out into the open. We shall see. Edit to add: I realize that the story we are getting at the moment, is that Todd Boehly has been added to the MBU investment group, but neither MBU nor Todd Boehly has confirmed that yet. If this is the real deal we should get some kind of official confirmation today. If it's just more "we are working on it" then I expect we'll not get anything definite today. Also edit to add: Forget Miami; how about a bit of humor. Saw a link to this on reddit on one of the Portland Timbers threads; it is the (unintentionally) funniest thing I've read in ages: quote:http://www.columbian.com/news/2017/apr/24/letter-bring-baseball-back-to-portland/ Do over Ham fucked around with this message at 10:42 on Apr 27, 2017 |

John Casper can just sit his rear end in his car and drive an extra 15 minutes; there's still minor league baseball! just... in the suburbs. every year the MLS Players' Union releases player salaries and every year I'm 100% flummoxed by how teams pay their squads. why the hell is perennial benchwarmer Ben Zemanski only earning 5k less than Gleeson, the starting keeper?! does Zemanski just have a rad agent?

D.C. still at the bottom of the league in payroll, which still shows you what's up with this league. It's not blowing out the bank for Euros, though it doesn't hurt. It's all about team construction and good management. And we've had the most consistently brain dead manager in North America for eight god damned years.
