Will it ever be elite?

No.

Yes. If it ever gets rid of its salary cap. Players will be attracted by the lower taxes of the US. All we need is a couple of oil kings / gangster capitalists / Chinese nouveau rich to inflate the market. MLS will be the shining light of our faded empire. Trump and his successors (left and/or right) will make America poor enough to throughly embrace povertyball.

Maybe if you try to implement relegation system

yes

Get rid of salary cap, have feasible pro/rel divisions.
Just do what already works everywhere else and stop trying to "americanize" it.

As long as MLS can keep top-tier young American and Canadian prospects staying for first few years, the league should be alright without trying to become an elite league.

>Get rid of salary cap
Having one to two teams dominating might make the quality better but Americans sure as hell are not going to support that league, especially if those teams are all the way across the country

workrate: 2

little nigga will be Crouch 2.0, Stoke should just sign him now.

As expected of Trump

yeah then we can have a stratified order of how big the clubs are and have LAwinslol. thatd be great. fuck off. americans arent cucks and no one outside top tier club cities would watch it, since they would never have a chance to win. now instead of a national fanbase you only have fans in 5 or so cities.

seething
we finna boutta win a war and you still mad

>amerimutts are such casual fairweather faggots that they would never want to stick with their team even if they win a trophy once every couple decades
Pathetic

>Yes. If it ever gets rid of its salary cap.
>Get rid of salary cap

Old NASL died because of extremly high salary and not enough revenue after the 70s oil crisis. MLS needs to grow the base, throwing money does not solve the problem.

lower taxes and remove salary cap to attract prospects
recruit some good sports director and scouts.
bring back the old mls penalties (it's actually better than the current one)
get a true league format, playoffs belong to international competitions or inner cups
change your clubs name, having dynamo, real or united is cringe as fuck, should have keep the franchise like name as in other us sports
get rid of franchises system so people be more attached to their closest city
hosting a world cup again could also help
let clubs manage their formation centers and prospects, draft system is literally communism

absolutely not

Americans cannot into relegation, they ignore all second-tier competitions.

no, literally never

>remove salary cap
>create football pyramid
>become one of the best leagues

The main thing holding you back is not being in the UEFA Champions League desu

One of the reasons is since we don't have league mobility, supporting a minor league team is a grim prospect. It would be interesting to see how pro/rel would affect lower league fanbases knowing their hometown shitter could make it into the big leagues with a lucky season or two.

this. mls is bottom tier and will stay that way

>lower taxes and remove salary cap to attract prospects
The league and clubs would need to be profitable enough to maintain those higher salaries, though.
>recruit some good sports director and scouts
In theory, that's what everyone's already trying to do, even MLS.
>bring back the old mls penalties (it's actually better than the current one)
Uhh... wouldn't that kind of rules change violate FIFA rules and make international tournaments disorienting? I like the old MLS penalties better too, but we've all got to play the same game for better or worse.
>get a true league format, playoffs belong to international competitions or inner cups
Hard no. Playoffs are a stalwart part of American sporting culture. We like our leagues to have a climactic finish.
>change your clubs name, having dynamo, real or united is cringe as fuck, should have keep the franchise like name as in other us sports
I have a third alternative- encouraging American clubs to make their own distinct kinds of names. Something like Metro to designate clubs in large metropolitan areas (Metro DC, Metro New York, Metro San Francisco, etc.) or Cascadia for Pacific NW teams (Cascadia Portland, Cascadia Vancouver, etc.), or even encourage club names without the city in them (AFC Alamo in San Antonio, Appalachia SC in Charleston WV, CF South Beach in Miami), or at the very least more references to the place's history and culture instead of generic shit like the Myrtle Beach Wyldkatz.
>get rid of franchises system so people be more attached to their closest city
Doing this (and pro-rel) would require a top-down restructuring of how MLS as an organization works. The investors didn't sign up for that, so it would be a shitshow. Really that's the biggest hurdle keeping MLS from going pro-rel.
>let clubs manage their formation centers and prospects, draft system is literally communism
The MLS draft might get axed in a couple years since it's becoming obsolete.

No. We're going to be eternal 6th rate shitters selling off anyone with a modicum of prospect to Euro clubs.

kek that nigga dabbing on those whitoids

of course not. it is designed that way
