If you're that long of a City supporter -- been with the club through long years when there was "better" clubs available to support in the Manchester area...then why are you so dismissive -- so aggressively dismissive (you said you'd shut your drapes if it was being played in your backyard) --...

Press release from today:

LA Galaxy and Chivas USA share the same stadium. Although the distances aren't what you're used to Seattle v Portland and Vancouver (about 2 and 3 hours), Toronto v Montreal (4 hours and a whole lot of political bagage) and the eastern seaboard (Philly/Red Bull New York/DC) all have...

You'll find that football is used more and more by those that follow the sport in North America. Four other teams use football in their name -- Toronto FC, Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Seattle Sounders FC and FC Dallas (although it's Fútbol in Dallas' case). That said, you do get a pushback from...

Soriano was directly asked today: "Beckham has not been approached and will not be involved in any form"

They negotiate the selling of players. They aren't involved in the buying of players (they are called discovery signings in MLS-speak), other than to approve the purchase. Edit to add: Like all things in MLS, this isn't hard and fast. They do *occasionally* buy players (usually third party...

FWIW:

I lost the original post to quote, but wanted to clarify something. MLS owns the players, but DOES NOT negotiate individual contracts. That's up to the individual clubs (a big part of success in MLS is not overpaying players. A bad contract can screw a club for years). The club I cover...

I suspect I'd be better off debating my wall, but... Then point me out all the League Two players that have gone to MLS and excelled. Anyway, not really the place for this debate, so I'll be moving on.

Sponsorship's are negotiated by the individual clubs, but the revenue is shared league-wide. I'd have to look up what the revenue split is, but memory tells me its a 51/49 split in favour of the league. So, yes, MCFC could sell sponsorship as a joint Manchester/NYC deal (which would be...

Re-posting something I wrote in the rumour thread about this -- For what it's worth (probably not much) I cover MLS professionally. I'm deeply sorry for my career choice (note: I'll be on the press call today. I'll Tweet it live (SPAM ALERT -- 24thminute is my account). Regardless, I can...

Re: New York City For what it's worth (probably not much) I cover MLS professionally. I'm deeply sorry for my career choice. Regardless, I can answer a lot of the questions about how MLS actually works and, I think, offer some informed speculation about what ownership/close association with a...

2nd generation Canadian. My mother's family is mostly from Bristol. When I was 12 (mid-80s), I met a cousin who was living in Manchester at the time. He taught me well. Thank God he had good taste in football teams because I don't want to consider what might have happened if he didn't. The...

Been meaning to de-lurk. This will work... I knew we had arrived this summer when I was walking through Toronto's Kensington Market and saw about 50 knock-off sky blues for sale for $20 CDN. Nothing says legitimacy like cheap imitations from Hong Kong. If you know where to look you can find...
