[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]American soccer fed tried to make it their own. Not having pro/rel was a disaster. It create zero grass roots fanbase in the area of a promoted (or almost promoted) team. Next you'll cite "distances", which is a good point, and can easily be mitigated by regional conferences. Hockey does an almost perfect job of this. There's no easy fix, but trying to fit the NFL model into soccer was terrible idea. Now MLS is just the retirement ground for old used up Europeans. Sad.[/quote] Cities aren't subsidizing $500 million stadiums for clubs who risk relegation. Ownership groups are not paying hundreds of millions for a club that can be relegated. If you want to see the effect risk of relegation has on franchise value, look at how much MLS clubs are worth relative to the status of the MLS https://www.forbes.com/lists/soccer-valuations/[/quote]
