Facts: MLS was born around the same time as EPL.
Heres what i dont like about MLS: nothing happens when a team does shit. Just "do better next year".
Relegation is an amazing idea that should definetely put into use. MLS should deffinetely make a deal with NASL and set something up. it builds NASL players to be good and it brings a "threat" to MLS teams.
MLS should put a bigger handle on away day games. like majorly discounted train or plane tickets or even buy entire cars on trains and sell tickets that way. It brings people places they wouldnt usually go. When would anyone here go to Portland or seattle. Plus it builds up rivalry. Rivalry builds up more consumer interest which ultimately brings in more profit for the league.
Offer third parties to hold cups. For instance "MLS' Sam Adams Cup" or "Ikeas Ultimate Cup by MLS"
this allows companies to get their advertising in plus more games which means more tv time which means more money for the league. With all these Cups comes more rivalry as well.
Get rid of "jersey week" its stupid.
Get rid of the draft. Let clubs find their own means of gettign players. If im an owner, the last thing i want is extra players that im forced to get because thats the rules. (dont know much of the draft so i might be wrong)
HERES AN IDEA: The team to come in first in the US Open Cup becomes an MLS team for the year. If The Scouse Scoundrals (fake team) win the Cup, then they should be a MLS team until another team takes the trophy another year.
Reach out to the fans. The thing with the Red Bulls and the southstreet seaport was a brilliant idea. Now do that all over the place. Miami, VAncouver, Columbus. Say to the locals "hey we have a team, heres what they look like, they play well. follow them"
If i own a small buissness, allow me to advertise at all mls games. EXAMPLE: lets say i have a deli in portland and i buy advertisement space in seattle saying "scouse's deli, proudly sponsoring portland". This would allow more fans (as well as more buissness') to partake in this banter. now when seattle and portland play eachother, Scouses" Deli would be visited by both fans. The Deli gets profit and then i buy more advertisement.
Its a money game
