RP fail...

A misunderstanding of the byzantine rules of the BSL means that Tony Tchani cannot be signed as a retention player. With no other players meeting criteria or coming to terms, the RP position will not be filled entering the 2016 season. The league office's official statement read, in part, "It is not uncommon for newer franchises to trip up on such matters, there is no shame." Director of Soccer Operations Andy Williams said, "I take full responsibility, but [REDACTED] these rules put MLS's salary cap rules to shame! We'll take greater care in our signings in 2016." [Ed Note: Intended all in fun, Freddy].
