I just don't think the TV contract nor the ratings will justify spending lots of money, for maybe another six years. I think the league is at least 10 years away from paying salaries on par with even the Scandinavian countries.

Agree with everything except the Scandinavian comment. I think we're close to being at their level already. They're not paying guys all that well if Swedish guys are running to piece of shite towns in the middle of Turkey for $300,000-$500,000 contracts that aren't even guaranteed.

And the point about Liga MX made earlier was also valid.
