The first event that will effect the direction of MLS is the Collective Bargaining Agreement(CBA). Ideally, a deal will be worked out by the time MLS Cup ‘09(Nov 22) rolls around. In my next post, I will discuss what I believe to be the main element that could hold MLS back from achieving significant gains in the quality of its product.
