The quick and dirty here? Philly gets $175,000 from a conference rival all while gaining a net of one International slot.
First let’s look at the international slot that changes hands.
The Philadelphia Union give New York City FC one 2018 International slot for $175,000 dollars of General Allocation Money. That’s cool; GAM is a nice asset to have and really anytime you can get a conference rival in a “more for me, less for you” situation is great. That being said, the other news that goes along with this announcement is fantastic.
