On this week’s episode of Allocation Disorder, Paul and Sam break down their most recent story for The Athletic. The piece, titled “MLS anonymous team executive survey: Best and worst teams, owners, rules, underrated players and cheating around the league”, provides some phenomenal insight into the minds of decision-makers from across MLS. What do GMs have to say about cheating in MLS? Do they think MLS’s roster rules make sense? Which MLS player do folks think is the most under-rated? All that, plus Sam’s love for the word stakeholders, Hector Herrera’s move to the Houston Dynamo, and so, so, so much more.Sponsors! Today's show is brought to you by...Babbel!
