The New Yorker is reporting the MLS has money problems and still isn't profitable.

Alessandro Del Piero is looking to move to either LA Galaxy or DC United from Sydney FC. Personally I think they shouldn't bother. MLS is not the A-League. 39 year old legs may of cut it a few years ago but not in the current MLS.
