Gazidis Speaks

[CyMoahk]

So who else watched the little webcast on MLSNet?

I liked most of what Gazidis said. However, the one thing that irked me was the discussion on the season format change itself, or rather how it would go about. I like the possibility of beginning in early March - though the process to make a decision like that sounds like he**. One committee reviews the situation, then gives their results to another group, who gives their results to another group.... it's like an infinite chain before it actually gets to the board of directors. X-P

Oh well. Everything was good. =-)

I haven't had a chance to watch that clip. But did he mention anything about splitting the season into 2? sorta like the Mexican league? I really like the fact that the season could start in early march though. Its still somewhat cold around Chicago but we can handle it. Also did he say that the season would be extended onto November? or would it finish earlier like around august.

Nah, he didn't mention A/C or November, just March. I think the idea is extend the season into march so that we can still play through October but now avoiding more international weekends (though not all, he repeated the "fact" that avoiding all 13 of them is "impossible" - BS).

I just saw the clip, and he said extend the season forward onto March. So does this mean the season starts later? He also sounds like the salary cap is here to stay....and mentioned that the EPL might look at the MLS as a 'model'. Well I hope the salary cap gets raised to at least 4 mil. Currently its set a 2.3 mil.
