Probably because you need a multi-millionaire owner to get that far nowadays.

Because I thought you might have had an opinion.

Got this quote of the BBC website but obvious been taken off the bigsoccer site, love it when he say's what have United done since he left but he fails to say what have Madrid done since he arrived

"Beckham was and still is a tremendous talent and anyone who says otherwise is talking out of their backside. What have Man United done since he left?"

with designated players the contract is paid for by the team, not the league...though in this case I believe the MLS is chipping in.

As for adidas, it would make sense as his presence will sky rocket the marketing for the Galaxy uniform and its sales.

The MLS has zero mainstream stars that inspire anyone outside of the suburban, orange-slice set. Landon Donovan and Freddy Adu are about as interesting as growing grass.

THATS the kind of bashing I like to hear.

And he's the kind of person that wants to see the league die.

In fact, after hearing all the predictable ill-informed ridicule by many of our luminary pundits, I'm going to try and forget about the league for at least three years.
It gets me too annoyed otherwise.
I'm getting sick of it all, and I hate Beckham for going there. I also hate the Designated Player Rule - none of this would have happened if that hadn't been added.
