PJSweet Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Can someone here, through a short summary point form, please explain how the CPL single entity system is expected to work. I do know that several details were released during the Halifax press conference a few weeks ago. Is this single entity system different than MLS'?

ted Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Nobody has any clue. The only thing we have "heard" is that it will be single-entity and that they have learned from the MLS experience. My guess is it will be more like the NFL where the league is responsible for marketing the league, administration and staffing, and revenue streams are shared. But that is just a wild-ass guess.

I think that's probably the gist of it. Duane Rollins has mentioned it won't be as hands on as mls with player transfers and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no flipping of coins to see which CPL club star players returning to Canada will play for ala Jermaine Jones in MLS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coin flip? Far too straight forward. More like a bowl of pingpong balls that all say "LA Galaxy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I think it will be more like current NHL, NBA than MLS 1single entity where not everything is centralized to the league. This allows for clubs while having revenue sharing scheme to help smaller markets to be competitive. Why do you think Phoenix Coyotes, Florida Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes are still operating with empty arenas? Good old Gary Bettman figured it out. For me, that makes more sense to me.

ironcub14 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 This was one thing Bob Young said directly on twitter when I asked him quickly what his thoughts were on single entity. It could be just regular corporate speak, and nobody obviously will spill any significant business decisions publicly, but even just getting my thoughts quickly across to him, I even just appreciated the fact that he took the time to reply. Here's to hoping to avoiding pure single entity, and to go with a high degree of revenue-sharing instead, whatever that may specifically end up looking like.

dyslexic nam Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Personally, I just like the way you got the info. If enough of us ask seemingly innocent and innocuous questions here and there, we will piece the whole puzzle together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely use the FB page. Pops up in my feed occasionally but rarely look. Should check it out more often to at least share useful articles to friends. As for my dossier man is that long and ugly lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironcub14 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 If you're looking for more of the quick discussions on the topic of the day, rather than the more detailed debates here on the forum, then the V's Facebook group is definitely the best place for that. The forum and the facebook group go pretty well hand in hand~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
