But hey, having a stadium to ourselves would be great... :grin:
Don't where you're hearing that but they are STUPID. Galaxy fans clearly don't want Chivas there BUT I assure AEG is LOVING all the extra cash the 20 games bring in.Quote:

I would love to know who or what your source is X.
Next year after we sign our new DP and are selling out most games you poor G fans will have nothing else to while about.
X its not personal with you but it very personal with the FO and the fans on both sides that keep spewing baseless crap as facts.
I did light a few candle last night so Becks can return and ruin the "team" before you actually make the playoffs
Little Chivas gives me much hope that the NuQuakes can be good by 2010.
I never said we were saints, but we don't throw glass bottles at Chivas' female supporters. We also don't rip tied scarves off of La Legions necks leaving people with bleeding necks.Quote:

I'd love to know who this magical DP is going to be. And does that mean the second DP slot for all teams is a lock? Everyone says it's for the Galaxy and Donovan, but there was talk of giving Chivas their DP "back"Quote:

Yeah the ones who did are doing great, Angel, Becks and Blanco, but they really need to be a big enough name that the semi casual fan will recogonize them AND want to come out and see them.Quote:

I've heard of the US Nat. thing too. Blatter's recent comments on leagues emphasizing home grown players can only help that cause.Quote:

Houston would benefit both Ching (US Nat) and DeRo (DP) are signed, but I'm sure they'd like more money.
I want to know if the higher salary cap will happen, the rumors have been floating. If it does go up, I'd like there to be a higher minimum wage.
Help me out with this:
Why was this designated spot rule put into place specifically? Shouldn't it be up to the team on who they can bring in? Look at Spain, England, Germany, etc. They all can bring in a lot of big names for the right price but I'm not too sure if they also have a limit of how many.
Is it because they don't want MLS to be like MLB where the Yankees, Red Sox, and Angels can spend like crazy on a lot of players and teams like Kansas City, Pittsburgh, and Tampa Bay can't afford the same? I know in Mexico there are only a certain amount of international players and local players they can bring in which screws over Chivas Guadalajara because they have the policy of having only Mexican players (policy was started by their original founders, French and Belgium immigrants to Mexico) and they cannot use their international slots to get other players.
Me personally, I'd love to have Raul play for Chivas...
Or maybe you'll follow Real Salt Lake's lead? :grin:Quote:

They also share in all the profits from all the teams as well as the expenses.Quote:

They came up with the 'beckham rule"(Designated Player).
Now that its been a great success and teams have players that will require a DP spot ofr next year(Donovan, Ruiz, DeRosario) theya re looking for a way to allow the teams to keep the player(mostly Donovan), so they will make some other rule up that will allow US players to be except in all or part.
BTW DeRosario is Canadian National.
The Designated Player Rule was put in for a few reasons.Quote:

4) Casual fans would pay more attention to big name players
5) The league thought they could move to the next level with big name players
6) This one is easily the one that influenced this decision the most, the world's most marketable player expressed interest in joining the MLS.
