MLS Analysis State of the league address signifies significant and positive changes for MLS

Positive changes. Now to get the dumb-ass players to support solidarity and training fees and the US market (and their wages) can begin to grow.
 
If they are going to be a "selling league" with development fees going to MLS DA programs, stand by for a flurry of lawsuits from every club or rec program that developed that player before they went to DA.
Assuming the Players Union gets out of the way and agrees, then you would have US Soccer adopting Article 20/21 rules that would apply to those clubs that subsidize training fees to be compensated. The typical Rec program would have a very tough argument. But I suppose many low level club/travel programs could convince the Federation that they were Category 4 programs, provided they were not charging the player/parents for training.

See Circular 1484 for the schedule based on Category: https://resources.fifa.com/mm/docum...nsonthestatusandtransferofplayers_neutral.pdf
 
"there was a lot of the usual fluff..."

Good to see there is some talking points about possible change but at this point it's nothing. Let's see the real changes, not just talk about what might be done in the future.

Garber may mean what he says but that doesn't mean any of it will be implemented and he has no real plan other than we will see what we can do during negotiation on our next collective bargaining agreement.
