re: NASL is seemingly doomed

. The big clubs in Europe are essentially franchises at this point. They just don't call them that. It's not like Manchester United is run like a local club. These are international brands.

Just bc they are massive brands doesn't mean they are franchises. They still have members who vote on club issues. It's laughable to say Bayern is a franchise when its members which can be any fans who pay a small fee can vote out the president or board members. Hell its happed at Barca.

You don't get that in MLS. The closest you will get is the supporters trust stating their concerns. Like when the RB fans went ape shite on the owners and gm the other year. But they have no power like in Europe.
