Reports coming out of the CCM Fans Forum, that the FFA may take responsibility for player payments. Only way I see that working, is the FFA withholding the Salary Cap from the clubs grants, and drip feeding that for the monthly wages.

Wonder if this is just for CCM?

That is what I was wondering but the way CCM people have posted, suggest its league wide.

I'm not an expert on the MLS but sounds something that they do.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Soccer#Ownership

MLS operates under a single-entity structure in which teams are centrally owned by the league.[3] Each team has an owner-operator that is a shareholder in the league. In order to control costs, the league shares revenues, negotiates player contracts, and holds players contracts instead of players contracting with individual teams. The league won a bitter legal battle with its players over its economic system, which was eventually resolved with the players gaining some improved benefits in return for accepting the single-entity structure. The court also ruled that even absent their collective bargaining agreement, players could opt to play in other leagues if they were unsatisfied.
