How about this interesting snippet from Don Garber in an interview he gave on November 17 to the NY Times: "...we have our growth in front of us. A few years ago Chivas USA and Real Salt Lake paid $10 million to enter the league. Last year, Toronto paid $30 million. Chicago was just sold for $35 million. Houston will soon have a new owner. The asset continues to grow in value, which speaks to the investor community that believes soccer has a long-term value as a sports investment."
I took the liberty of boldfacing the comment in question. Houston will soon have a new owner?!
In sad news, USSoccerPlayers.com, a blog I just recently discovered, is stopping its regular MLS coverage due to issues surrounding access and basic media relations with the MLS. The site will treat MLS the same way it does the Premier League, focusing on the play of US National Team players.
