Mornin' D.

Somehow I think even with us at 4th position in the allocation, we won't get the chance to snag Luis Gil's rights...

I doubt the union will want to play under the current CBA. All it does is give the ownership breathing room until the World Cup.

My guess is we will have a strike.

We may have a strike.

In a sense, the owner's are calling the players' bluff. Now the players have to decide if the owners are offering enough in work-arounds, or whether it is worthwhile to strike (and possibly take down the league).

I think the owners have all the chips and probably don't want to start the season until after the World Cup is over in July.

The players don't want to play under the current contract and see the work stoppage and World Cup's popularity, as a tool for bargaining.

I'm sure as the league continues to get bigger, the World Cup will become a bigger distraction for the league, due to the season schedule.

You guys have to think of the positives out of all this. Mo' time for trades:drinking:

Strike will kill MLS I don't think there can be any doubt about it

If I was a player I would play under the current CBA until *after* the world cup. There's bound to be a uptake in interest amongst 11 year olds (and their families) after the World Cup, thus a spike in ticket sales. Get the owners drooling over the increased gates (except in Dallas, no one can save them...) and then strike... say... beginning of August.

Call me crazy (and many do...) but owners don't give a shit about a strike right now -- they haven't paid for anything and haven't anything to lose... every club owner and every player will lose the same thing right now. But get me in August when it looks like my club might be making a play off run and my gate receipts have gone up after a successful US campaign in the world cup (ie. quarter finals...). That's bargaining power.

According to Forbes, the value of the L.A. Galaxy in 2007 was $100-million while TFC came in at $44-million. Considering TFC owners Maple Leafhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/soccer/mls-needs-to-raise-salary-cap/article1477649/#) Sports and Entertainment paid $10-million for the franchise, you begin to see that the owners' strategy focused as much on the actual brand value of the franchise as on short-term profits or losses. No issues here. In fact, it is healthy and indicates the market for professional soccer is there.
