Without the pressure of MLS teams needing more, and better quality, players there is little reason to develop a real reserve system, a real scouting system, a real youth system, a by-pass of the NCAA choke point and, perhaps most importantly, paying more realistic wages.<BR/><BR/>Besides, right now it appears that qualified management is more of a question. RSL can't get out of its own way, Chivas could implode at any time, LA has Alexi the Mouth, Red Bull gives you comedy relief and many of the current crop of expansion wannabes read like a who's who of ponzi scheme rejects. The Las Vegas "proposal" alone makes my head hurt.<BR/><BR/>KellyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
