I know. Imagine being out of contract and needing a job - then having the temerity to take a job with the only employer that offered him one. What a sting.
If the MLS are trying to pull a fast one with FIFA that must be Cadden's fault.
In the meantime, people on here still fawn over Terry Butcher and don't bat an eyelid over the fact that he lied about going to Australia "for a holiday" in the middle of the season before mysteriously taking over at Sydney with 2 years left on his contract at Fir Park.
Now *that* was a "sting".
(I don't blame him for that, btw, any more than I blame Cadden for taking a job elsewhere).
The season Cadden signed for Columbus was the first season the MLS participated in FIFA's development fee scheme. It's not Cadden's fault the MLS tried to pull a fast one with an attempt to categorize all their top tier teams in the lowest tier for compensation, and as far as I know, it's still something that is still being reviewed.
