Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 2997153, member: 1646"] As someone who only dabbles in European soccer, mostly watching EPL for the last few seasons, and some Champions' League, here would be my plan. I would build MLS up to your 40 or so teams that you referenced. Give every city a chance on equal footing. Then set up the league in regional quadrants (or some other division that would reduce concentration of teams) and conduct a multi-season relegation process. I have some different ideas on relegation/promotion that would make the end of season more exiting for Americans that tend to prefer tournaments/playoffs, but from what I can tell MLS has no interest in relegation. I'd assume the only way that can change is when owners start losing lots of money and believe other owners are profiting off of them. [/QUOTE]
