Union guy says there are significant changes in the control of teams over players' rights (after contract over).
Landycakes pushes Sun Media til later.....no love for Canada
yeah i caught that too, thats dopeOriginally Posted by rocker
Hmmm, a system whereby players out of contract have their rights reassigned by the league? Now where have I heard that before....
Yes it is!
Does this mean there will be bigger roster sizes?
It would seem so, its like some teams had an inside scoop ex. LA, Houston, Seattle
I heard something about an academy league too
i can wait for the details... it's just good to hear that this negotiation is over and we can move on.
funny tweet from Paul Beirne... teams don't even know details yet...
Paulbeirne: No free agency but a "re-entry draft"? I will wait for the fine print on that one.
I looking forward to the hearing / seeing the details. I like the sound of an academy and reserve league. I wonder what will happen to the CSL team if the MLS has an academy league?
maybe keep both but have younger players?
Yeah, why not? the more the better. Even if they stock it with overage guys.
Whitecaps had a whole bunch of teams (residency, PDL, Academy) feeding into their main team. European squads are the same ideal. Cast a wide net, it creates competition.
especially if we still have this roster size to deal with
I like the idea, but just wonder how you'd break the age brackets up? The U18 team has looked a little light weight at times in the CSL, I wouldn't think you'd want to go younger than that even.
i'd like to know the full details before i get excited or anything. you never with MLS rules just how mucked up all this can be lol
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

im thinking that if the players are happy we will prob be happy too

Some details have leaked out:
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns...ot=mls&cc=5901In the area of guaranteed contracts, it looks as if the union got much of what it wanted. Foose indicated that based on age and years of service "the majority of players" will now have guaranteed deals. Multiple union sources who asked not to be identified added more detail, indicating that players who are aged 24 or higher, and who have three years or more of service in MLS will have guaranteed deals. In terms of unilateral contracts, the gains seemed minor, and the thresholds are slightly higher. Players 25 years of age or older with at least four years of MLS experience can have no more than two unilateral options written into their contract. The union was also able to extract some concessions in terms of wages although neither side would reveal how much.
But the league appears to have carried the day on the issue of free agency, which had been a considerable sticking point in the negotiations. Under the previous agreement, teams retained the rights of players whose contracts had expired, with the union contending such players should have the freedom to negotiate with other MLS teams. Under the terms of the new agreement, a re-entry draft will be held once a year in which out-of-contract players can be claimed by other teams interested in their services. Although on the surface this appears to satisfy some of the union's desire for more flexibility in this area, the league clearly met its goals.

Good for the players, and probably no big deal for teams with competent gm's, but it's apparently going to be a lot harder to make your mistakes go away. Kind of makes me nervous for tfc.In the area of guaranteed contracts, it looks as if the union got much of what it wanted. Foose indicated that based on age and years of service "the majority of players" will now have guaranteed deals. Multiple union sources who asked not to be identified added more detail, indicating that players who are aged 24 or higher, and who have three years or more of service in MLS will have guaranteed deals.
Great news, now we can get another losing season underway.
Thanks Mo.
