[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lack of ability to pay youth clubs training compensation and solidarity payments is because of the players, not the higher ups [/quote]

Really?  Then why did PA Classics did not receive any training compensation or solidarity payments for Pulisic, while Dortmund did?  Or why Crossfire Premier did not get any payments for developing Yedlin?  Educate yourself.  https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/2019/1/2/18164986/christian-pulisic-transfer-chelsea-solidarity-payments-usmnt

Wait, educate myself?  You gotta learn to read dude, the entire point of the article you posted is that it is the MLS players who are against the fees.  Read your own article, "[t]he MLS Players Association has been vehemently against the idea of abiding by FIFA solidarity payments"  It was the MLS Players that are against transfer and solidarity payments and the reason US youth clubs do not receive them, while overseas clubs do get them.[/quote]

No, transfer payments always existed and are not at issue here.   Historically, USSF claimed that the US law prohibited them from allowing training compensation and solidarity payments, which was a bunch of bull.  Once the young DA players started to bypass MLS and go directly to Europe, MLS realized that it was losing money.   As soon as it happened, the USSF had a complete about face and allowed training and solidarity payments but with MLS is the sole beneficiary.   The youth clubs don't benefit.  The players opposed the change, which has been implemented despite their opposition, because they lost the financial edge they used to have when marketing themselves to European clubs (i.e., no out of pocket expense for training fees).
