There have been a few recent developments when it comes to MLS and its many clandestine rules. So let’s Review them and what possible effects they could have on the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Promotion/Relegation Lawsuit:
NASL side Miami FC, as well as Kingston Stockade FC have brought a lawsuit against FIFA, CONCACAF, and the USSF in an attempt to force promotion and relegation in the US pyramid. The basis of this lawsuit is that the lack of Pro/Rel is a violation of Swiss law as well as FIFA rules. As Steve Sandor has pointed out, in his article which i’ve linked at the bottom of the page, the non inclusion of CSA in the lawsuit could potentially lead to a situation in which the three Canadian clubs are immune from relegation.
