But they rejected the claim, and this was when Jadlin went to Tottenham, they rejected the claim because Tottenham had relied on good faith representations by US Soccer and MLS that solidarity and training compensation obligations would not apply at the time.
And because when they signed them, they did not,
on good faith and reasonably did not believe they would have to pay anything beyond the transfer fee, the court declined to order it.
So, you know, the shortness answer to that is in FIFA, the youth clubs in America won saying you should be paid.
Yeah.
They lost because they were, the clubs had been told that no, that forced you.
Yeah.
And so, you know, the question is, would that case be different today?
And why is it, why are we talking about this case is because again, you go all the way back, all the stuff that we went through that funds development is not being done here either at all or at scale.
And now we have a legal case where clubs said, wait a minute, we should get some of these resources.
And sure.
Or it said, nope.
not the right place or time and authority.

That would not happen if that same case was brought today, but who knows how much money was spent on that case.

And do we have a proposal?
And the answer is, what we're saying in general is that we want an incentive.
for clubs to invest in lower cost or subsidized development.
