It’s so easy. New England Revolution is the only team in New England. That’s 6 states with a combined population close to Belgium. Do you think Belgium should be a one club country with the rest of the clubs acting as feeders? The one club will be the most financially stable while all of that can change with a system that gives opportunities to all the clubs. In the end, the system will always benefit player, coaching, and referee development than the single system.
I think Pro/Rel is the most American concept. The idea of being able to work your way to the top regardless of who you are or where your from, isnt that the American dream?
As a personal fan of pro/rel, I 100% do NOT think it will work in the U.S… it purely comes down to the typical sports fan in the u.s… we have to grow it with the normal person, and sports fans in the US do not generally support second-teir leagues… Just look at the ufl/xfl stuff… People mY like high school or college sports, but the majority of US fans will only support a "best" league. There is also not enough club history for the loyalties to be strong enough. The guest talks about how he would be dreaming of promotion if his local team was in a lower league. That's because he's already heavily invested and a fan. New fans will NOT be that way. American sports fans only want to follow winners. That is why shitty sports teams, even at top level, have zero audiences coming in. It won't work in the U.S., as much as I'd like it to happen. It is not something the American sports fan would get behind.
USSF is actively allowing an oligarchical system in MLS to act as the first division. Worst yet, the former allows the latter to have its officials serve as officers in its own affairs thereby creating a conflict of interest.
very interesting point for me Dear Filippo I love USA Soccer so much.
Ehhh I doubt pro/rel reduces or eliminates pay to play. If there were to be more clubs in these smaller markets. They're not fully funding a youth academy set up let alone a full youth program. Some MLS clubs now are slashing their academy budgets.
Love the idea of Pro/Rel here…but is it really working over there? clubs are dying in the lower levels in England and elsewhere in Europe…and I believe thats one of the reasons a Euro Super League hasnt been killed completely…Those big clubs dont want to be saddled with having to deal with that kind of stability problems if something goes completely crazy and they get relegated…
If MLS keeps adding more teams, a reasonable regular season schedule will not be possible at some point. You would have to break the league in half, with 20 top and 20 bottom teams. This would be a closed system with two tiers, 20 teams each (40 teams total), compared to English football's numerous divisions. A hybrid approach- not quite the pyramid, but at least an A/B division.
An open system would change the sport over night. We are a soccer powerhouse ready to be released with millions and millions of soccer first households who are not allowed to participate or build their community in the sport
MLS obviously needs promotion and relegation, but the owners would never agree. Why would they vote for potentially decreasing their stable assets and increased competition?
Tho relegation and promo would be awesome in mls, I think the team base over all needs to grow, if an mls team that brings in let’s say 15-25 thousand fans, I’m sure that team being relegation will drastically bring down the stadium assistants.
MLS has to eventually adapt to some sort of Pro/rel scheme is they want the world to take them serious.
WV!
I think there multiple ways to skin a cat. MLS has made huge strides, I dont think its ready for pro/rel yet but should def be discussed in the future when we are more stable as a soccer country
Pro/Rel is exciting and really exemplifies the dream of seeing your team clash with the big boys. However this will never happen. Closed leagues represent financial stability to owners and are on average twice as lucrative as open league teams. Search Party did a really good video on this. I'd love to see pro rel but MLS wants to be the NFL so that will never happen.
