Allocation Order is Dead ! Long Live the Discovery Process!
lol
lol
i forget which rule is this? The list of priority to sign a specific a USMNT player?
Yeah, allocation is USMNT, mostly. Discovery is any player not under MLS contract, more or less.
Poor JK forgot too. When someone asks you what you prefer, always say draft order!
is that what it was? i thought he wanted to say draft, and didnt..... thats why orlando got larin.
Yeah he picked allocation order instead after he won the coin toss. Said he was confused, read his cheat sheet wrong.
Everyone remembers this wrong. Kreis screwed up, and MLS was stupid not to let him immediately change his pick, but it was pretty meaningless and had nothing to do with Orlando getting Larin.
1. Orlando won the coin flip and got to pick first. It chose the Expansion Draft.
2. We chose Allocation order (which got us Mix, although Shea signed first, presumably we passed on him)
3. Orlando chose Super Draft which is how it got Larin.
4. Here is where Kreis messed up. He was supposed to choose USL/NASL player ranking but instead took Discovery. It was just an absolute brain lock, and he immediately said so before Orlando chose next, but MLS said no takebacks.

Orlando City gets first pick in Expansion Draft
I don't think anyone ever identified how not picking USL/NASL hindered NYCFC. I don't remember Orlando getting some great player from those leagues who we wanted. Really NYCFC's big mistake was picking Allocation instead of the Super Draft, but that was an intentional club decision and not a momentary bit of confusion by Kreis.
Also with hindsight, Orlando should have picked Super Draft first, because Larin was more valuable than any player either team got in the expansion draft. But Orlando still was able to pick priority in the Super Draft before the Kreis mistake.
So many decisions in that 2015 season that could have gone another way. What if we got Larin? Lampard arrived on time? A South American DP that Kreis wanted instead of Pirlo? Do we make the playoffs? Does Kreis not get fired? Do we never get Vieira as a manager?
Welcome to the NYCFC mutli-verse.
Reyna set it all up so we wouldn’t have any good players and could focus all the club resources more on Gio.
I'm too lazy to look it up, but I'm pretty sure at the same time Toyota sponsored the stadiums for FC Dallas and the Fire before they moved back to Chicago proper. I'm even tempted to say there was a 3rd stadium that carried the Toyota name.
ETA:
Looked it up. 2018 FC Dallas played @ Toyota Stadium and the Fire played @ Toyota Park (before they changed the name to Seat Geek Stadium).
Toyota Field has been the home of San Antonio FC (USL) since 2016.
