I thought of some creative ways....maybe other supporters have more creative ideas!?
Lets hear all the great ways we could pay our TOP players and snub our nose at the stupid salary cap....

Free unlimited gift cards at the KEG.
Providing suitcases full of cash, sopranos style!

They can sell them discounted group tickets which they can then sell at "face" for a profit without seeming to be a scalper!
OH heres one, Free NO FEE banking at BMO for a full year! That will save them bundles!?
What about putting in bank machines at BMO field. It would make sense right? I love the fact 5,000 people have access to like 1 machine on the west stand... brilliant planning....Thats my off season Rant Over with.
I suggested in another thread buying a house if the amount is large enough, or at least contributing to the purchase of one.
simple. very simple.
MLSE owns condos = Players stay rent free = happy cap cheating that no one catches.

how about;
- paying for their home or a portion of it wherever they want to live.
- Paying them appearance fees for community events
- buying or paying for a portion of a car they want
That's what people on here do, so why can't the players do the same?Originally Posted by olegunnar
Is there not league rules about these situations?
The league would be smart to ignore such things to add a little competitiveness.
Can they package offers with sponsorship deals, isn't that how Beckham got here.
Yup. Paying for a player's accomodations is against the rules. This has been addressed previously.That's what people on here do, so why can't the players do the same?
Oh for sure! It just seems that for clubs with money, it seems it would be too easy to say, yea I'll pay you 65k a year but here's a condo, car, etc.
I guess it comes down to whether the Salary cap is purely cash compensation, or all compensation, as the above would be taxable benefits.
I think I just got too technical but I think it's an interesting thing to think about.
what about appearance fees.........?
are they also included in the pplayers salary?
I believe there is a MLS rule that dictates that players have to make a certain amount of appearances, and those fee's are paid by the league. (I think I read that somewhere.......)
So, unless an appearance fee is paid by a third party, I don't think there is away around the cap there.
Thats why someone should volunteer to deliver undisclosed sums of cash in suitcases for our very best players!! ;-)
I'll happily volunteer to hand off the cash. Just don't expect all of it to show up.

don't worry its undisclosed, so we'll never know...
sweet. drinks at joe's on TFC! err.... on me

simple. very simple.
MLSE owns condos = Players stay rent free = happy cap cheating that no one catches.but they wouldn't be "paying" for accommodations, they own the place.
Is Maple Leaf Square Sold out??? is there still availability??
how about company shares that expire once the player leaves.. make it a half % of sales by the company,or whatever percentage the company deems right by whatever standards they choose ... which substancially makes the player better off based on his performance, popularity, merketability etc: profit sharing for all...
how about MLSE arranges hookers for the players, and the players can be their pimps?
I could totally see Ricketts and Dichio being pimps!
there is no such thing as a 'game fit' pimp.
early to bed, and early to rise, and all that crap actually matters for athletes.

Nice one! I recall the league was discussing a billeting system for players some time last year. Surely a suite at Maple Leaf Square would sweeten the deal for quite a few potential signings.simple. very simple.

And if that doesn't work, go with the KEG gift cards. Nothing says "I love you" like steak.
Did the USA , of all countries, just fix soccer? - C. Ronaldo, May 27th commenting on the FBI-led investigations into fraud and corruption throughout FIFA.
Have them paid directly by the sponsors. BMO would love to have Dero on their ad campaign. That would yield the most money.
No wonder this thread was started by the Red Star fan.
Read moreBelgrade – Dragan Dzajic, 62, vice-president of the Football Association of Serbia (FSS) and also director of all football national teams, Vladimir Cvetkovic, 67, and Milos Marinkovic, 72, officials of the ‘Red Star’ FC were arrested yesterday morning on suspicion to have illegally taken EUR 6,127,104 from the transfer of footballer Goran Drulic to Spanish ‘Zaragoza’ FC in 2001.
"agents"= Org.crime bosses that gave him some nice money under the table in order to cash out when he goes to rich European club.MANU signed Tosic-The move was thrown into doubt last month because of Tosic’s wage demands and the number of agents trying to get involved in the transfer, prompting reports that Arsenal or Manchester City could hijack the deal.
"Sopranos style" works pretty good all over the world,I think it would work here too.
Chances are his agent would be the one negotiating a deal with BMO, not the club.
