Smell the Hot Dogs & Beer?! The 2013 commercials are finally OUT. We look forward to baseball season every single year. And one event that lets us Seattle Mariners die-hard fans know the season is right around the corner is the Mariners releasing their commercials. The M's unveiled their ads Tuesday morning. The newest season features Dustin Ackley wearing his love for fans on his sleeve. A Mariners fan does his part to create a little luck for the team. A diehard fan goes above and beyond to support the Mariners. Brendan Ryan is a friend to all, including those in the animal kingdom, and my favorite Felix Hernandez turns his skills into a hot, new product.

(from our Tactical of 18th October 2016) One currency that may buck the trend and remain supported against the dollar is the euro. Although tapering from the ECB does not look imminent, core inflation may start surprising to the upside…
Euro to Remain Better SupportedPosted in European Economy on November 4, 2016
Firm Positive Drivers for EuroPosted in European Economy on September 30, 2016
(from our Tactical of 13th September) Drivers of the euro are showing support. When the ECB in March of this year shifted its emphasis from the rate channel to the credit channel for the transmission of monetary policy, this took…
Monetary Policy Still Too Hot for GermanyPosted in European Economy, Monetary Policy on May 20, 2016
An ongoing theme we kept coming back to throughout 2015 in the eurozone is that monetary policy tends to either too hot or too cold for the core or periphery. The ECB's attempts to fight deflation and reflate the periphery…
European Recovery: Periphery Loan-growth NeededPosted in European Economy on April 22, 2016
One of the aims of loose monetary policy is to boost lending. The theory is lower rates and greater availability of liquidity will encourage lending and borrowing, which in turn will boost economic activity. Unfortunately, an increased supply of loans…
ECB QE: Inflation to Start Surprising to the UpsidePosted in European Economy, Monetary Policy on April 24, 2015
The sharp devaluation in the euro and the rapid acceleration in economic activity will mean short-term inflation dynamics in the eurozone will soon start surprising to the upside. In this context it is important to remember that the only justification…
Long-term Real Yields' Decline Implies StagflationPosted in UK on September 12, 2014
Yield curves almost everywhere have been flattening. At the long end of yield curves, bonds have been rallying all year. This is to be expected in Europe, where growth remains lacklustre, inflation is very weak, and the ECB is firmly in easing mode. However, even in the UK and the US, where the market has been gingerly pricing in the beginning of (perceived) hiking cycles, long bonds have been rallying.
Strong euro starting to bite on European exportersPosted in European Economy, Featured on December 13, 2013
Nothing comes for free and with the eurozone periphery deflating its way to a currency account surplus the aggregate external balance of the euro area has increased to its highest level ever at more than 2% of GDP. Coupled with tighter liquidity (less euros sloshing around), improved sentiment and repatriation ahead of AQR the EUR has seen strong support this year.
Negative government bond yields in Europe not necessarily predicting deflationPosted in European Economy, Fiscal Policy on July 24, 2012
Core European government bond yields continue to fall and are now outright negative in many countries. Traditionally, this would suggest a stern message from the fixed income market that deflation is around the corner.
But there could be other explanations.
Spain will be difficult to contain without help and bank recapitalisationPosted in European Economy, Featured, Monetary Policy on April 19, 2012
In our view, the Spanish banking system is in need of wholesale recapitalisation to deal with the sizeable losses in the country's property market. This will likely include a bad bank provision. Before that happens, the ECB's open market operations will mainly buy time in the form of liquidity as well as provide banks with money to exchange bad loans for lending to the government.
Monetary Contraction Continues in EuropePosted in European Economy on February 28, 2012
Simon Ward at Money Moves Markets updates us on the latest monetary aggregates from the eurozone and despite strong global growth in excess liquidity and central bank expansion, money growth remains weak in Europe. Going out of 2011, 6 month…

Reviews for The Surrey
Love this hotel, staff was very friendly, and attentive and makes us fill welcome. This hotel is within walking distance from Central Park (love it), we like to exercise on the morning so what better place that in Central Park.
Eliztorresva7 - DC
Everything about The Surrey is Extraordinary!!! The rooms, the staff and just the feel of the block and area. Perfect. The only negative is the attitude of the restaurant and bar on the first floor. The roof garden bar is fabulous!
Mrs. Diane W - New York
Stayed here for a weekend in early May 2017. Location was fabulous to upper east side attractions like the Park and Met. Staff was friendly and courteous. Doormen quickly hailed cabs for us and did not have to wait. Caught the end of a really good Jazz trio at the hotel bar Saturday night. Rooms were up to date and clean considering this was obviously an old building. Pricing about reasonable for NYC hotels. Will stay here again.
We stayed at The Surrey Hotel in April 2017 for 6 nights and overall the experience was a positive one. Check in was fairly smooth and the staff on the desk and the door were very friendly and attentive. Our room was a great size with a HUGE bed - had some of the best nights sleep in this bed! The room was spotless and this stayed this way right through our stay - the maids do a great job and one in particular, called Charmaine, was so kind and accommodating with us. The location of the hotel is incredible! Right up in the Upper East Side the hotel is located between Central Park and Madison Avenue. If you're going to New York for high end shopping this is the perfect hotel and I can really recommend starting your day at the top of Madison by the hotel and walking right the way down. So many amazing shops! I also want to give a special mention to Dwaine one of the hotel doormen. His customer service was nothing short of great from the minute we checked in to the minute he got us our cab back to the airport. Fantastic guy with great recommendations of things to do and see! Negatives: - On the day we arrived we mentioned to a member of staff that we were looking forward to having a drink on the hotel rooftop bar to which we were told it was currently closed until early May. This was disappointing as we were unaware of this at the time of booking. - My partner really struggled to pay for this hotel as they don't have chip and pin (yes really in 2017!!). We are British so just swiping our cards often doesn't work. My partner wanted to pay the full amount on arrival but he was told to do it at the end because of the chip & pin issue. Then mid way through the week our key card to our room stopped working. When my partner went to the front desk he was told that it was because we hadn't paid despite us trying to! Very frustrating. A member of staff on the desk ended up swiping his card so many times that they took the full amount of the hotel out of his bank account 3 times!!! and he has only recently received this back with no apology.
Missa22 - Liverpool, United Kingdom
entering the lobby with the assistance of the bellman went well and the first impression of the lobby is a beautiful stone mosaic that imitates a carpet inside the door. it's all downhill from there. the hotel was remodeled several years ago in a "Royalton Hotel in the '90's" meets Morocco kind of style. that includes flimsy silly furniture that is wobbly and not terribly functional and a carved wooden cage/closet that encloses the central air conditioning unit. the reviewer who said they suffered with an overheated room was right. the units are too small to cool the rooms adequately as the maintenance staff admitted to me when i complained. that was after they pulled the filter (and tried to hide it from me because it was filthy and collapsed) and changed it which improved cooling modestly. i was still left with a carved wooden screen encrusted in dust and dirt from the filthy air that been blowing through it. the front desk failed to credit my bill with the amex benefits until asked and were unsympathetic about the heat. oh, did i tell you the shower didn't drain and i stood in water and that the manual chains that control shades don't work well and are draped across a wall. at this price forget it, there are better choices. amateur hour here in design and management.

Hello everyone!
My name is Ed, I am 20 years old, live in Wiltshire and work as a Fleet Manager for one of the large rental car firms. I have bought my first ever BMW!! After owning a Seat Leon as my first car and having a boring VW Passat as a company car, I thought it was time to get myself something a little fancier. At first I thought I would stay clear of the German car cliche (BMW, Merc or Audi) so I ended up purchasing myself a top of the range 05 Vauxhall Signum 3.0V6 CDTi. What a mistake that was, I could rant on about it for ages but I won't, I will just say it was terrible and after it spent more time back at the garage than on my drive, the dealership agreed to give me a full refund.
Now I thought I would get something cheaper this time and I knew I wanted either an Audi A6 or Mercedes E-Class. I test drove and viewed 14 cars in the end all around the same price bracket (£1-£2k) but they were all heaps of rubbish. Finally I stumbled upon a lovely 1998 BMW 528i just by chance. It has had one owner all of it's life and is an absolute credit to the previous owner. It has genuinely been cherished inside and out and I am very pleased with it. I paid £900 for a car that looks and drives like a £20k car.
However, this leads me on to my first problem with it and the reason behind signing up to the forum. I bought the car without a warranty due to the low price etc but it just won't hold it's coolant! The head gasket is definitely ok, it just decides to drop most of it's coolant for 10 minutes when I switch it off. I am not very mechanically minded so I have not investigated properly and I cannot discover where it could be leaking from. I am going to have to take it to a garage anyway but was wondering if anyone had ever had the same problem and whether it's going to cost me an arm and a leg?
Appreciate your help and advice in advanced, here is a photo of "Betty"

Road Test/ 100
Predicted Reliability/ 5
Predicted Owner Satisfaction/ 5
This is one of the best upscale SUVs, melding utility with luxury-car attributes and driving fun. It has precise handling and a composed ride, although the body tends to rock side to side on uneven pavement. The 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder returned a very good 23 mpg overall, and the eight-speed automatic shifts seamlessly. But this engine is a bit short on refinement, with a diesel-like clatter. The six-cylinder in the 35i is silky smooth. The interior is beautifully finished, with firm and supportive front seats, and though the rear seat is roomy, cargo capacity is modest. Once mastered, the iDrive control system proves logical. Despite the X3's price, the must-have rearview camera is optional. A diesel and rear-drive versions are available.

Star defender Carles Puyol suffered a nasty injury to his right arm in Barcelona's Champions League win over Benfica, today. In the 76th minute, Puyol jumped for a header from a corner kick but landed very awkwardly on his arm, bending his elbow in a way it was not meant to bend. From the looks of the video, the injury could be more than just his elbow, as the entire weight of his body forced his shoulder back along with the rest of his arm.
Puyol was carried off of the pitch on a stretcher and taken to a hospital, but there has been no word of how significant the damage was. This is a huge blow not only for Barcelona, but the defender himself, as he was playing for the first time since his quick return from a knee injury he sustained only two weeks ago.

I recently had a chance to chat with Elena Hight, 20, a member of the 2010 U.S. Olympic Snowboarding team about eating healthy, staying fit and finding the motivation to reach her goals ...
SJ: I'm so fascinated by the fact that you were the "house cook" in New Zealand! Tell me some stories around that—what did you make for your fellow athletes that they really loved? (Code for: Give us some healthy dinner-making inspiration!)
EH: "The US Snowboard Team spent a month in New Zealand this summer. We all stayed in a house together, 5 riders, 2 coaches and our trainer. We all love having big family meals so we would try to do that as much as possible. Some of the favorite meals from the trip included:�?
*Roasted root vegetables;�?pumpkin, parsnip, carrot, sweet potato, onions, and bell pepper,�?made with olive oil, cumin, sea salt, tarragon, garlic, and thyme.�?
*Mediterranean dinner: Falafel balls, pita bread, hummus, dolmas, grilled chicken, couscous, mango chutney, and yogurt dipping sauce.�?
*Taco night: The best part, home made guacamole, and mango salsa!"
SJ: What 5 things should every young, health-minded, busy woman have on her grocery shopping list, in your view?
SJ: What is your favorite healthy snack?__
EH: "My new favorite snack food are Kamut Cakes with jam. They are just like Rice Cakes only lower in calories and made from the whole grain kamut which has tons of health benefits."
SJ: Now that you're in the off-season, and maybe not working out in such an intense way, how do you modify your diet so that you're not overeating?
EH: "I always try to have a healthy breakfast. I love to have fruit smoothies topped with cereal in the morning. Without breakfast my entire day is thrown off."
SJ: And, we have to know, what's your biggest health weakness? Procrastinating weight training? Eating too much chocolate? Not getting enough sleep? Having that second glass of wine?
EH: "I love dessert. I honestly try to pass up on chocolate, cookies, ice cream, cake ... but I have no self-control; my sweet tooth is always the one that wins!"�?
SJ: Clearly, as an Olympic athlete, you know something about endurance--pushing your mind and body to reach your goals. Can you share some of what motivates you? And give some advice to other women about reaching their goals? What drives you when the going gets tough? What gives you the passion/determination to keep at it?
EH: "When I get discouraged or overwhelmed I always try to remember that "this too shall pass". I can think of so many times when I have wanted to give up on something whether it was learning a new trick, going to the gym, or just getting out of bed when I was burnt out. Everything hard seems like it will never go away but then you look back on it once its over, that time seemed to fly by.
When just the idea of knowing that I will reach my goals eventually doesn't work, I give myself a motivator. A pedicure, new perfume, a special dessert, or a new pair of heels. Knowing there is a reward waiting for when you finally do complete your goal is a great motivator."
SJ: Oh, and finally, fill us in on what you're up to now. What are your professional/sport goals for the next 5 years and beyond?__
EH: "I am going to continue to compete in halfpipe for at least another 5 years. I love what I do and I definitely want to keep traveling and snowboarding for as long as I can. I would love to go to the next Olympics in Sochi 2014 so that is for sure a major goal of mine."
Thanks Elena! xo

REFILE-Canada IPO market trades commodities for tech as valuations climb
(Refiles to fix Hootsuite name, from HootSuite)
By John Tilak
TORONTO, March 12 (Reuters) - Technology companies look set to supplant energy and mining firms as the driver of Canadian initial public offerings this year as global optimism about tech startups boosts valuations and spurs early investors to cash out.
The anticipated surge in capital-raising by tech companies would provide a much-needed boost to the commodity-heavy Canadian equity market, which has been hit hard by plunging oil and metal prices.
Soaring venture-capital investment and healthy technology spending are seen as fueling the revival of Canadian tech IPOs.
"In the next 12 to 24 months, you're going to finally see the most significant volume of Canadian tech IPOs you've seen in the past decade, if not ever," said John Ruffolo, chief executive of OMERS Ventures, one of Canada's top venture capital players.
PointClickCare, whose software supports the senior care market, and ecommerce software maker Shopify could go public as early as the spring, possibly with valuations over $1 billion, said three sources familiar with the matter who declined to be named because details are not yet public.
Property information provider Real Matters and online lender Mogo are also preparing for IPOs this year, they said, adding that Hootsuite and Desire2Learn have deferred such plans to next year.
Hootsuite, seen by many as the most valuable of these startups, runs a popular social media management tool. Chief Executive Ryan Holmes declined to comment on IPO timing, but said Hootsuite is "building the foundations and best practices of a public company, and has a lot of interest in an offering".

The 2010 Major League Soccer season may still kick off as planned, without a delay in the start of the season, but the process to get to that point is going to be a messy one after labor talks went public on Friday, leading to an ugly back-and-forth that might just be the beginning of a lengthy battle.
It started with the players union going public on Friday and breaking a public silence that had stood since negotiations for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement began. MLS officials, after initially insisting they would not "negotiate through the media", responded to the union's accusations with their own defense on Saturday. The union responded on Sunday by calling into question the validity of the league's defense.
So where exactly do we stand? Who do we believe? If anything is clear from the weekend's back-and-forth, it is that there is no clear-cut villain in this. The players union painted MLS as the bad guy with its stories of mistreated players and unfair rules, and it was a narrative that was easy to buy into because it touched a chord with fans who weren't likely to side with a faceless collection of owners and league officials in the first place. That said, you can't help but wonder how accurate the portrayal is given the league's clear insistence that it has already offered up a good number of concessions.
The truth lies somewhere in the middle. Now the question is whether the two sides can find their ways closer to that middle in order to avoid a truly messy situation. The answer is yes, but only when the sides accept that changes need to be made.
MLS has already made the first major shift in strategy in this labor situation by publicly stating that it is prepared to go into the 2010 season operating under the old CBA (a clear change in policy after the league made it clear to the union in early negotiations that it had no intention of operating under the old CBA). As writer Kyle McCarthy laid out so perfectly on Monday, this maneuver puts pressure on the player's union to either accept a deal or strike.
Is the union as strong and determined to fight this fight as it will need to be? MLS clearly doesn't believe so, which would explain the willingness to operate under a CBA the league itself was demanding be scrapped less than two months ago.
Does this all mean the players don't have gripes? It is pretty clear they do, even as MLS officials do their best to explain away every argument the players have. No, the $60 million magic number offered up by MLS president Mark Abbott as the increase the league was ready to offer players never did sound completely genuine (and joins David Beckham's initial "MLS salary" of $250 million as inflated numbers used for effect.).
Players union chief Bob Foose shot down the $60 million figure, pointing out that it included, among other things, salary figures for teams that haven't even begun playing yet. He also pointed to percentage changes in the new deal that would see a decline in the growth of player salaries from 5.9 percent a year to 4.8 percent a year.
On the surface, that figure doesn't seem so damning. After all, there aren't many employees who wouldn't be happy with a 4.8 salary increase per year. While this is true, it ignores the fact that the face and business of MLS player acquisition is changing. Rapid MLS expansion is forcing MLS to use new methods to stock and strengthen the player pool. Chief among these changes are the designated player rule, increases in the number of international players and an increase in the money used to land young talent.
Why is this a major concern for the rank and file of the players union? It's simple. Not only would the new CBA shrink the growth of player salaries (if the union's numbers can be believed), but with more and more of that money going toward Designated Players, high-priced foreign talent as well as high-priced rookie talent, the players who will be squeezed in the equation are veteran MLS players.
Consider this off-season, which saw the largest-ever Generation adidas rookie class. MLS devoted a record amount of salary to landing this year's crop of top draft talent, which on its face is a promising sign, but when that comes in the same off-season where some of the best players to ever play in MLS are being squeezed out of jobs, you can understand why the union feels so strongly about wanting a stronger CBA in place to help protect them.
Does this mean MLS shouldn't spend money to attract top young talent to MLS? No, but it does offer evidence that perhaps some changes need to be made so that top veterans are paid what they deserve. That brings us to free agency, which MLS has made into The Untouchable Option. I have yet to hear a truly clear explanation for why intra-league free agency is a non-starter for MLS. I like to consider myself a pretty sharp guy, yet still couldn't understand the evils of MLS free agency despite multiple explanations from Abbott on Saturday.
Let's think about this for a second. How exactly would free agency within MLS hurt the league as long as the league has a salary cap? It really can't, not from the standpoint where skyrocketing salaries would be a concern. As long as there is a salary cap, a maximum limit on non-DP contracts, and as long as the league's player personnel department still signs off on deals, how could free agency hurt MLS?
It could have to do with MLS wanting to maintain control of player valuations, which could come under fire if teams were able to bid on free agent players. Suddenly a veteran highly-coveted by one team could potentially earn much more than his previous team, or the league, believes he is worth. This goes against the single-entity ethos the league is built on, and allowing it would ultimately give more control and freedom to teams and take away control from the league itself (No, I don't see the problem with this either).
Could it be that there are certain teams that are simply opposed to this because it would force them to compete against other teams for the right to keep their own players? Let's consider if a certain team or two had a history of paying lower salaries, and wanted no part of having to compete with other MLS teams for its own players, could those teams have enough pull with the league to keep free agency off the table? That's entirely possible if those teams had influential ownership.
Would having some competition within MLS for top players be such a bad thing? Considering how many quality players are leaving MLS for questionable alternatives abroad (or in Steve Ralston's case, an alternative in a lower division), how could free agency really hurt the league as a whole? As far as I can tell, at worst, it would force ALL teams to start getting serious about paying top talent, and just might help keep some of the talent that is leaving year after year.
If you listen to MLS officials, free agency isn't even that necessary because, according to them, the current system isn't nearly as restrictive as it is being portrayed. While it may be true that the current systems in place do eventually lead to players being able to move around and away from teams that don't want them, the arduous process currently in place winds up
badly hindering players who wind up seeing their options dwindle while they let the current process play out. This is why quality veteran players like Kevin Hartman and Dave Van Den Bergh remain unemployed just a month before the season, and why a player as respected and as decorated as Steve Ralston ultimately gave up on MLS rather than wait around for others to decide his fate.
Veterans like those deserve better, which is ultimately what is driving the players union. It isn't about the money, because the increases being discussed are marginal, but rather about the options that players, particularly the veteran players on whose backs the league was built on, can have as the league changes and grows. One veteran player said it best when he told me, "If players like Kevin Hartman and Steve Ralston, two of the best players to ever play in the league, are treated this way, what is going to stop the league from treating any of us the same way."
A new CBA could help keep that from happening, which is why the players appear more determined than ever to fight. If the league is serious about offering up new proposals that address these concerns, then a deal can and will get done, but if we see a player's strike next month, it would be pretty clear evidence that the offers being made by MLS aren't nearly strong enough.
Regardless of who is ultimately most to blame, if a strike winds up happening, both the players and the league will wind up wearing the label of villain.
Can you honestly believe the money they have made has paid them back for all their losses over the years including stadium building, operation costs, etc…
I like a lot of Fischy's points but feel that everyone also needs to look at the situation from the perspective of we are lucky to have a professional league in the first place. I root for DCU and I can't help but think of guys like Chris Pontius that if it wasn't for MLS then where would he be right now. It might not even be in soccer or in the USL as before MLS you had to either make it overseas or you were pretty much a forgotten player. So if you weren't developed enough then you were done and you could not continue to grow where one day you may get the chance to play in Europe which I think Pontius will or get a shot to prove yourself in a national team environment.
Now I definitely want the players to make more and get a fair cut of any success the league is able to build to. However up to this point the league is mostly in red ink or losing money and while some teams are starting to come around and turn a little profit it still has a way to go. Free Agency to me allows for the deep pocketed owners to have the best chance at success, i.e. Real Madrid while the smaller teams are left behind. I like the parity that the single entity brings where one year your favorite team can stink but the following year it can make the playoffs where anything can happen i.e. RSL in 2009. To me you have the best of both worlds right now. You can bring in a top player like Beckham, Ljundberg, Angel, etc… to see him play but not have this outrageous spending that is bankrupting teams all around the world right now. And your team can go from worst to first in a matter of a season and because of having a pro league we get to set up international friendlies to see the best in the world play at our stadiums.
My point is simply this…I think MLS has not reached the point of throwing out everything or most of everything the league has worked for over the past 14 seasons to get to this point and as long as they are increasing the cap even if it is a penny then everyone should be happy and lets get on with the season. The worst thing that we can have happen is to have some ugly situation that sets the league back if not kills it.
While I respect and am grateful to players like Pat Onstad for all they have done for the sport in this country I also realize that he gets to make a six figure salary for doing something he loves that without MLS I doubt he even gets close to this income in his soccer career if there ever is one. And the owners are the ones that have put up with the financial losses and continue to bleed money to give all these players that extra opportunity to play in the USA and for the few that are profiting they deserve the reward RIGHT NOW for the risk of believing in this league when it could have folded not even 6-7 years ago if not for some of the owners(Anshutz) believing in it and not giving up.
I keep reading people talk about van den bergh and hartman, Hartman could be at the wizards camp right now but he didn't want to sign the deal the wizards made because of the length of the contract as for van den bergh dallas has said they would keep him but only for a lower salary, and if not they would trade him. For all you free market enthusiast if this guy is worth his salary then their would be a demand for him but their is not. He either needs to stay with dallas and take the pay cut. Or work out a deal with another former team. It's like Allen Iverson, no one wanted him at his salary especially at his age, free agency or not, his choices where simple, retire or take the pay cut. I don't here anyone crying for him.
Exactly. It's a hybrid of sorts. To some extent, the "product" is competition. Yet, teams also are competing with each other for revenue, to some extent. How this odd hybrid model comports with antitrust law is what the SC is dealing with in American Needle.
NBA then. Although the NFL's cap is pretty hard. MLB has a truly soft cap on the other hand. Still, my point is free agency and salary caps are not mutually exclusive.
Derek Young
Ives for commissioner!
MLS and its players cannot afford a work stoppage. They aren't that stupid. This is a World Cup year, which offers the league a great opportunity to cross-promote. Also, with Philly joining the league and two new stadiums debuting, it would be suicide to have a lock-out.
They will work under the previous agreement until next year.
No they aren't but they do destroy parity within the league, as for an NFL example everyone tries to run away from detroit, or an NBA example, a steve francis who doesn't want to play for a particular team. The whole thing about this is everyone is equating free agency with a guy being waived or his option not being picked up, the two sides in my opinion aren't arguing about guys that are sellable, but more like guys like abe thompson, or older players. SO, i think we are arguing a moot point most guys that are good either want to go overseas, or like beckerman want to be traded to another team for a new start or a better chance. I think the older players see the younger players having it better than they ever did and they want to know what do they get for getting the league to this point, the problem for me is and I think the majority of us can agree, the majority of these guys just aren't going to cut it as the level of play increases, we've all been saying they need to improve the product on the field. You can't improve it without getting rid of some of the dead weight.
It is a hard cap, not a soft cap therefore you can't push the limit of the cap. This is not hard to understand. What mike is talking about is that certain cities or teams might be more desirble to play for because of who they are or where they are.

This is exactly the reason why free agency is a non-starter for management. MLS as a league structure is so different than other professional sport leagues in the U.S. and other soccer leagues in the world. Player contracts are with the central office and not the clubs. Free agency would completely change this dynamic and put the power with the clubs. My guess is that we will see free agency once the majority of the teams (if not all) are profitable.
Free Agent
I am not an antitrust lawyer, and I understand the distinctions between the MLS and the NFL, but free agency is one factor the SC has weighed in determining "single entity" status. My guess is that the owners will not take even the slightest risk if it might jeopardize the single entity structure. They credit it with saving the league during the lean years of contraction. The fact that the Kraft and Hunt families own NFL franchises, and the fact that the NFL is contending with this antitrust issue right now, only reinforces my view that antitrust concerns are driving resistance to free agency. Regarding Shadowpub's point about the surplus of eager investors and owners, I do not know why so many investors appear willing to invest in the league. My guess is that Soccer United Marketing provides some financial footing for the league, but the league itself probably still loses money.
James Wedding
That's funny, as an FC Dallas fan, Hunt Sports Group came to mind. I'd guess between Kraft and Hunt you have the makings of a top notch cheapskates club.
Jeff from Tallahassee, FL
MLS is part of the free market for soccer players–when you view the MLS as one club that has satellites in different cities (which is the current business structure). When players are out of contract, they are free to market themselves to any soccer club in the world including other teams in the U.S. (just not in MLS).
The teams in the MLS are not individual clubs as we tend to think of them, but instead are just different branches of the central office.
I say screw the league, support the Players!!!
If I were the head of the Players Union, this would be the best possible year to have a strike in terms of bargaining power.
Don Garber wants to avoid a strike because Garber is asking for 50% raise to $3 Million per year salary for himself, its a World Cup year, the Beckham debacle is still fresh in everyones mind , the new NASL wants to compete against MLS, & Vancouver & Portland are supposed to join the league in 2011.
The owners of Seattle, Toronto & LA want to avoid a strike at all costs because of season ticket holders. The Red Bull owners want to avoid a strike at all costs because of their new $200 Million Arena. The Philly owners want to avoid a strike because its their 1st year & they have a new stadium .
A player making $50,000 a year who already probably has a 2nd job (because everyone is 1 injury away from MLS retirement) has much less to lose than an owner paying $200 Million for a new stadium. If I were the president of the players union its not a question of "Should I strike?" Its a question of "When should I strike?"
But a player making $34,000 (the minimum) and for reserves sometimes less, they have much MUCH more to lose than an owner.
It is a question of "should I strike?" because the lower wage-earning players are not properly represented by the union. Conrad, Keller, Onstad, and Wolyniec are the ones we're hearing from. We've heard nothing from a Pontius or a DelaGarza, which leads me to believe they aren't properly informed or they don't support it and have been told to keep their mouths shut.

Why does management want to restrict "free agency" within the league? First, never underestimate management's urge to have complete control, even if no money is involved. Second, "free agency" would put the several inept front offices under that much more pressure. Who really wants to play for a team like the Red Bulls, with a new coach every year and constant roster turnover? Or perhaps for DCU — who balked at pay increases for younger veterans and then wasted thousands on an unfit Argentinian. And I doubt that New York is the only outfit where experienced players would like to jump ship, even if it meant no particular increase in pay. It's not as if most MLS teams have focused on developing younger players and establishing a stable lineup.
Have the details of the Hartman and VDB negotiations been publicized? (serious question – I don't know)
I ask because there is a difference between a guy getting blackballed and a holdout. Holdouts happen all the time, and it is frequently the player who is making the more exhorbitant demands (see: Michael Crabtree; see also: JD Drew).
Do we know whether any teams would be willing to meet their demands?
Off topic much? No club in the world has to sell a player it doesn't want to sell. Nothing in the current negotiations would affect this either.
You just answered your own question. Thats why? honestly what young player would play for the revs, if they new there was no way they could make a move abroad. I mean honestly I think the majority of the teams have solid leadership, except those teams owned by the hunts and kraft. And they are the oldest members, so this is probably a culture clash between the owners as well, but I think right now, those two big players are not willing to tip the bucket yet, and rightfully so, they made this league have supported it from day one, sometimes its hard to let go, and they aren't ready to yet. The players though are risking a lot. Question do you have to be in the union, or are their non- union players?
DClee, I agree with you that MLS has done a lot of good for US soccer, but the league can do a lot better. I cannot get over the fact that players like Andrew Jacobsen (Union took him away from DCU in the expansion draft) were paid 36K last year. Although 36K may be a decent pay for some areas of the country, in DC it puts you on the brink of poverty line. If the league wants to make money, they should first become a feeder league for top European leagues. This would require MLS to stop penny pinching and focus on developing their soccer academies and creating opportunities for young players through the reserve league. Collecting $10 mil. from Josy Altidore's transfer is several times more than the total salary cap for the MLS team that he played for.
Bottomline – is MLS still insisting that the players sign away their FIFA rights? If so, then stick to your guns. If not, then get to the table, work it out, and quit wasting all of our time.
ian woodville
I am sure that you don't want to hear this, but being the original investor in a business doesn't give you the right to take all the profits or to exploit your employees. Believe me, no one would pay money to watch the Hunts or Kraft or Anschultz play soccer… so the players have also made a contribution from the beginning.
I would think all you free market zealots would support the players in this because what they are asking for is the right to sell their services to the highest bidder, once their original contracts are done. Isn' that what Ayn Rand would have wanted?
Call The players union and let them know what you think the # is 301.657.3535
I just left a message for Eddie Pope.
For those of you who wish to contact MLS The email is firstname.lastname@example.com Sorry no # for them.
Feel sorry for Hartman. They talked about him on Phone-in today. Since the "league" didn't pick up his contract, he doesn't have insurance for his family and cant work anywhere. Things need to change fast or Norway and Denmark will be the new MLS very soon.
That's BS Ives. There is not the slightest argument in favor of the conclusion that the players should share any blame for this situation. My understanding is that they are not asking for significant new expenditures; rather, they are asking for relief from oppressive contracts, which, quite frankly, as a contract attorney, I'm prepared to conclude are unenforceable.
How you can have a situation like Van den Bergh's where his team has elected not to pick up the option on his contract, but still controls his economic future, is beyond me. The players' union's lawyers have to be idiots not to realize this is an unenforceable restriction.
A few points Alexandria. First, just to get it out of the way, the NFL has a hard cap (well, it did, until they have an uncapped year) – look up the Wiki. Next, why does free agency destroy parity? I'd say it allows for more parity, because it keeps a team from being able to collect too much talent. Your point about Detroit or Steve Francis have nothing to do with free agency. Free agency didn't cause player to not want to go to Detroit, the fact that the team was horribly run and terrible on the field did. Until a few years ago people were coming up with silly reasons to say why NBA players didn't want to play in Boston, when the reason why they didn't want to come was because the team and it's management sucked. New management came in, turned things around, and suddenly, Boston isn't a terrible place for NBA players to play any longer.
Free agency doesn't ruin parity, bad management does. If everybody has the same resources, then it's up to teams to get the most out of those resources. Players want 2 things, to get paid as well as they can, and to play for a winner. All the other stuff is just window dressing.
If by cheapskates club you mean the type of club that keeps MLS alive, then yes Kraft and Hunt make a very good cheapskates club
I admit you're right, sorry for disagreeing with you… that's the last time I trust the league's figures
Single entity structure would still be in place for guys new to the league. All the players want is for guys who have performed well under the full terms of their initial contract to have SOME bargaining power.
It seems like the league is doing everything in its power to gain the flexibility to pay rookies, new foreigners, and DPs, while restricting what they have to pay for a guy who has shown for 4 years that he can contribute to the league. Isnt that backwards?
The league is much less interesting when teams build by signing mediocre foreigners, rather than paying an extra 50K to keep a 24 year old US player from going to Scandanavia. DC wouldnt pay up for Bobby Boswell, but was happy to pay double for the frickin Martinez brothers, who were terrible.
Yes, soccer is at a stage in the country right now where a lot of professionals are going to get paid $15K-$34K a year while they demonstrate whether or not they have play. Many of these guys will never make it and will get cut, or will finish their contract and decide they have a better chance to play for a USL team. However some of these guys will develop into MLS starters. Those guys shouldnt be held hostage by a team that doesnt want to pay them, but also wants compensation to give them up.
Of all of the issues being discussed, this is the one that seems the most ridiculous. I am fine with the cap. I am fine with the cap not going up very quickly. I am fine with contracts that are not guaranteed.
But lets have a league that rewards guys for succeeding and doesnt force every decent player to go to the Danish second division in order to get paid.
Frankly I don't buy the "poor finances" story of MLS nearly as much as many others do.
Soccer United Marketing is a cash cow, and the league has a, relatively speaking, decent handle on costs. On top of that there is all the expansion dollars coming in this year and next (Upwards of $100 million +). Yes there are some weaker sisters (KC, Dallas, Columbus, etc.), but the league has added two (soon to be three with Philadelphia) strong franchises in Seattle and Toronto that undoubtedly make money.
It might surprise some of you to learn that Soccer United Marketing is responsible for selling the US English and Spanish broadcasting rights for the World Cup, which for example I am sure makes a nice little chunk of change for the league…
If this league was in the poor shape the owners claim it to be in then I do not think that there would be clubs building new expensive stadia (RSL, Red Bull, KC) and new cities (Vancouver, Portland, and maybe Montreal) lining up to join the party.
I understand the cost control angle but I think the ownership is being far too unreasonable on issues like free agency, DP allocations, player movement and of course players on the bottom end of the scale making next to nothing in salary.
Let's hope saner heads prevail on both sides.
