[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to know the end game, look at the conditions MLS clubs need to meet in order to get future payments for developing players. Note what is different about DCU in this situation and how they need to shift. Than, look at the cost structure.[/quote]

Please elaborate and don’t leave us thick-minded hanging. Go on. [/quote]

Not the PP.  But I think he is referring to the fact that MLS clubs will henceforth be collecting compensatory payments for players who sign elsewhere under FIFA rules, something they previously did not do.    Depending on how DC United is categorized they could collect up to $40K per year the kids were members of DC United's Academy program.  Presumably the PP intended to imply that DC United is thus maximizing the number of kids within their program in the hope that a handful of them sign elsewhere - which would potentially lead to DC United receiving hundreds of thousands of $ per signing.

[b]Given that DC United also still charges the kids for training, this isn't a great look.[/b][/quote]

This changed today, DC United is fully funding their academy now.[/quote]
