MLS salary cap unlikely to go up considerably
“The only way to make a small fortune owning a football club is to start with a large fortune,” or so the saying goes.
Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber will be very familiar with that expression, and it is one he will be reinforcing over and over again as MLS negotiates a new collective bargaining agreement with its players’ union.
Say what you want about the injustice of the MLS pay structure, the imbalance of rights in favour of the league and the lack of job security afforded to the players. The league has been successful because it has been able to keep its expenses, in the form of players’ wages, under control.
