Forgive me posting own story, but this crap needs to be put out there. League once again making it up on fly. Surprise, Seattle benefits!
...

The last line of the story indicates that they intend to make it free for all registered youth players in province (The OSA is a partner in it). I'd be stunned if they charge more than $10 at gate...

Simply put, the Impact had the third or fourth (I'm going off memory) worst Total Shots Ratio value in MLS last year. Worse still, the TSR number was consistent all year. They didn't slump in second...

I have data to back this up, but I suspect you don't care.

If offered a straight trade for Montreal's roster today I would run the other way. They are in trouble.

You draft exclusive rights in round 2. Can negotiate new contract. Round 1 is 2013+ 5% (basically. There are some exceptions)

You lost me at the highlighted area. It's the NY/LA model and, increasingly, Seattle's. it's one of the two established strategies pretty much every team uses. Yes, LA and NY are going to have an...

He had 11 years of history to evaluate, including the last six in DC where he turned the original dynasty of MLS 1.0 into a consistent bottom feeder.

Anyway, he's gone. If he's as good as some...

It's fair to point out that this move seems to run counter to much of the noise Leiweke has made and that it's the type of signing Payne *talked about*.

The difference is this seems to be...

What?

Payne had the most allocation of any team in the league. Remember the draft? He also had the you really suck allocation for finishing last overall in 2012.

He just didn't do anything with...

Yes, I'm making up what he said at a Chamber of Commerce meeting in front of 500 people.

Automatic 5% increase if club exercises option. It's CBA mandated.

Cap goes up 5% each year as per CBA. Was $2.95m last year, so $3.09m in 2014, the last year of the CBA

You always this superior?

Times change. If you want info you need to adjust and with teams controlling far more of the message and reporters having far less resources at their disposal it is...

I think Lieweke understands (correctly) that signing EJ wouldn't create a ripple of interest amongst general Toronto sports fans and is focused on bringing in a name that would.

He does need to...

Re: EJ

I Tweeted about it, but to give more detail (I was talking to Dave Clarke --Sounder at Heart-- last night) I was having a casual conversation with someone at the league office when they...

I use anonymous sources because I write about soccer. It's a distraction, not something that has actual importance to its consumers.

When I worked on Six Nations for two years covering aboriginal...

I'm sorry for derailing the thread. I lack filter sometimes and I do get my back up when people make generalizations about my motivations without actually knowing me. Thank you for the tempered...

Oh, I remember that. You didn't identify yourself or give any reason why you were yelling at me about a scarf, nor did you try and engage me in anyway, but, yes, you did manage to make my girlfriend...

OK, link the supposed 100 things then.

The archives are there for you to search. I dare you to post links to all these stories I supposedly...

Trolling?

That would imply that I enjoy what TFC has become.

Believe what you want.

Are you familiar with the concept of irony?

Yeah, fuck Rollins. What a dumb fuck. Useless and he sucks at the Oxford comma too.

If I'm showing a double standard by pointing out that all of Payne's success came in the so-called MLS 1.0 era (and most of it in the 90s, and arguably were the design of Arena) then many of...

I. Do. Not. Attack. You.

I disagree with you. Strongly. I think a lot of the views on here are damaging, actually, but you're entitled to them.

Unless you're referring to a single Tweet that I...

I rarely read here so if you want to talk crap about me do it on Twitter or email me - duanegrollins at gmail. Also, this idea that I "loved " Mariner and that he was my inside source is batshit...
