I believe you have to be worth $100 million to own a USL franchise. There’s also a big difference between having a net worth of $50 million and being liquid to that figure. I don’t know where you got that $50 million figure, but he netted out about $12 million over 4 years playing for NYCFC. I believe the Club provided a hefty housing allowance.

That doesn't make sense. If they pay Pity's entire fee this year that doesn't help them.
Or are you suggesting either time travel and/or letting Atlanta retroactively violate the cap in prior years?
Realistically, I saw an article somewhere suggesting that Atlanta might try to loan Barco out until the summer. This allows Almiron to play in CCL, and they then sell him in the more active summer market.
Apart from the new expansion GAM, which most everyone here agrees was necessary, Has there been one instance where a roster rule was relaxed or revised for Atlanta?

Apropos of nothing: I like that our offseason target list so far appears to consist entirely of players who are good on the ball, either dribbling or passing but usually both. Rocha, Barraza, Parks, MacKay-Steven, even Ofori. Suggests a definite vision of what Dome and Reyna are looking to build, whether or not it turns out to be the right plan.

First hit (and second) on Google show $50M for Villa. No idea of it's accuracy, but no website can claim full knowledge without seeing banking statements.

Power Point presentation by USL with a page (25) devoted to expansion and ownership minimums which amount to $20M for the primary owner.

I could be led to believe that Villa has made $50 million in his career up until now. No way he’s worth $50 million. 50%+ of every dollar he’s ever made has gone to taxes.
He has image rights, sponsorships, endorsements, likely a good financial advisor(s) that makes smart investments..... maybe he owns profitable businesses...... could have bought property and sold for a profit..... there's lots of avenues for a pro athlete to accumulate wealth.
Listen. You very well may be right.
I just find it hard to believe that he was making anything close to the $6 million he made as a CFG employee while he was in Spain.
Believe it.

Players also get a percentage of their transfer fees.
Does Villa reject a NYCFC contract to go to Japan if CFG was helping to finance his team or did he go to Japan for one last big payday to help raise money for the project? Does some group like Sterling Equities get involved?
This helps the case to buy down Medina.
If true, I guess. Paul Tenorio was disputing it, vaguely, in the comments. Says he’ll have a DP/TAM/GAM article up tomorrow. More tk
CFG usually goes for an 80/20 partnership. So 80% CFG and 20% DV7.
I think CFG understands the US soccer market that Queensboro FC would market better than NYCFC II. I don't think NYCFC fans would care if the name is or isn't NYCFC II, but there are likely some percentage of fans that wouldn't support a team directly named NYCFC II but want an independently named team.
Ah, I missed that yesterday. We could do much worse as a backup, but if he ends up being needed for a long spell like this year, it's not great.
They should go one step further and form a new Boro Football Group for their hypothetical global network of lower league teams.
LAG just passed the Garber cheat codes to Atlanta.
