    Splitting the Cap By Richard Snowden

    To see one clear advantage of such a cap system over the DP Rule, one need look no further than the Los Angeles Galaxy. Despite boasting Beckham and Landon Donovan, the Galaxy has missed the playoffs three years running, often playing poor soccer due to being forced to surround their two outstanding players with a cast composed largely of poorly paid players whose performances too often matched their paychecks.

    With a two-tier cap system like that described above, teams would have far more leeway to build their rosters than under the DP Rule. If Galaxy chief Tim Leiweke wants to keep Beckham and his $6.5 million salary, for example, he can still do so, but he could also choose to offload Becks and instead use the $7 million of extra cap space to sign seven players at $1 million each, a move that would surely make his club far stronger.
    That's why the DP rule is a failure. It's short term thinking. Think long-term.

    Galaxy: 11th out of 13 teams in the table (2007 season)---$9,179,949 payroll
    Galaxy: 13th out of 14 teams in the table (2008 season)----~$9,200,000 payroll
    Galaxy: currently 11th out of 15 teams in the table (2009 season)---$9,313,290.53 payroll

    I agree with the OP. DP rule is suck.

    I like the idea of the clubs having a choice. Like us right now, with no DP, we could have put that money into expanding the squad (and keeping Sutton), but instead it's sitting there waiting for a sig. Of course if we did have a few players signed instead of a DP and one came along we wanted, we'd have to release/trade them to get the DP in.

    It's all so messy.
