Summary

On this episode of Allocation Disorder, Paul and Sam talk all about MLS franchise valuations and the potential for growth in Major League Soccer.

Why are MLS franchises being bought and sold for so much money? Why aren’t folks who are flushed with cash just going out and buy a Premier League team for a fraction of the cost of an MLS franchise? How do future television rights and the 2026 World Cup factor into MLS’s growth? Is a sort of closed promotion/relegation feasible at some point down the line? And where does Liga MX fit into MLS’s future?

If you couldn’t tell, there’s a lot of meat in this one - and it's good stuff. Like top quality, choice stuff. None of that highly-processed ground beef.

Looking for Dunkeroo's could not find them. This was, like, pre-Amazon Prime Era, so, you know, I'm sure somebody could dig them up on the internet. But we went to, like, we went to a Costco.
