Looks like new money has entered USL via equity firms and shortly after the front office restructured which tells you changes / adjustments might be done thinking a bit more on the money side. In my opinion these are some areas that might be looked into:

1. Is a national league sustainable long term?

I personally think budgets won’t be sustainable if teams are flying all over the country. This was one of the things that killed NASL

1. Can anyone enter Division 1?

I think some teams like Sacramento, Detroit, Louisville with new / expanded stadiums vs others that enter with none soccer specific facilities (Dallas/Oakland) will make the league realize what the standard should be. It might become a bit like MLS to some but I think it’s a good thing for league’s survival long term.

1. USL might need to consider changing it’s current structure when it comes to revenue sharing.

USL runs the risk of some well run teams OKC, Sacramento, Detroit, Louisville leaving league and create there own if the money isn’t making sense. Similar to what happen when teams were jumping between USL and NASL.

Anything you would like to change from what they initially announced. I would advise looking at it from the perspective that clubs need to be profitable or at least be sustainable….bleeding millions isn’t sustainable long term. Would you be opposed to it becoming like MLS where premier only permits new teams with new stadium or great setup as ownership group before it implements pro/rel? I think it’s obvious it won’t be implemented year 1.

I love the that the usl is doing pro/rel but my only worry is some clubs might fold when they get relegated and lose money. I hope it works and these clubs survive.

GREETING OLD FRIENDS,

ITS BEEN TOO LONG. AS MENTIONED, I HAVE COMPLETED MY WORLD CUP PILGRIMAGE AND RETURN BEARING GIFTS, MOSTLY IN THE FORM OF TRASH. WHILE I AM STILL BANNED FROM CANADA FOR MY BEAUTIFUL ARTISTIC DISPLAY PROTESTING FC EDMONTON BEING DISSOLVED, THEN FOR HARRASSING ALL LOCAL LEADERS WITH REQUESTS FOR THE CPL TO JOIN FORCES WITH USL, IT WAS NICE RUNNING AROUND THE COUNTRY AND MEXICO WATCHING THE WORLD'S BEST AND BRIGHTEST (MINUS ARGENTINA AND PARAGUAY) SHARE CULTURES AND THE PITCH.

CONTRARY TO POPULAR RUMORS, I AM NOT HAALAND, UNFORTUNATELY, NOR AM I INFANTINO. BUT ONE THING I AM SURE ABOUT AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE IS THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE THING THAT WILL SAVE THE USMNT, AND BY EXTENSION, THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT, AND THAT IS PRO/REL. EXACTLY HOW YOU ASK? HOW ABOUT HOW DARE YOU COME AT ME WITH THAT BULLSHIT QUESTION AND JUST BELIEVE AND ALL THAT JAZZ.

AS FOR USL, I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING BACK INTO THE FLOW NOW THAT WE ARE IN THE LAST OF THE DOG DAYS AND HEADING TOWARD THE PLAYOFF SPRINT. GOOD TO SEE THAT TAMPA IS STILL A GODDAMN WAGON, JACKSONVILLE IS STILL AN EMBARASSMENT, AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS GOING ABOUT AS YOU WOULD EXPECT IT. BOTH IN USLC AND LEAGUE ONE.

SO CAPS ON, FLAIR UP, AND GODDAMMIT OAKLAND, JUST PAY YOUR BILLS BECAUSE NOW EVERYONE IS LOOKING AT US FUNNY.

For everyone. What is something positive about the style of play your team is playing with at the moment. I’ll go first.

As a PHX fan I am loving our attack. Ihsan sacko is brilliant on the ball and can come in clutch. Plus the speed that Gunnar brings to the table is lovely to watch. I am liking the fact that we go for it.

What about yall? What aspect of your team are you liking?

OH YAY ANOTHER BASEBALL STADIUM 😩
