MLS players might be interested in bringing promotion/relegation to the United States, but New England Revolution goalkeeper Brad Knighton doesn’t see it happening anytime soon.
“I don’t think promotion/relegation would work in the way MLS is setup right now,” Knighton said during a recent interview with WEEI’s Soccercast. “Obviously it’s a single entity and obviously the owners fork up money every single season to put into a bank. The teams that are in a lower division don’t really pitch into that pot.”
The topic has long been a point of contention among faithful followers of the league.
